Later, on 13th July 1964, the college was upgraded as a Regional Centre and was re-named as Jawaharlal Institute of Post-graduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER). JIPMER is under the direct administrative control of Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.
