Located in Valsad — a historically significant coastal city in South Gujarat, near the Gujarat–Maharashtra border — the college is situated on Halar Road, Nanakwada, Valsad–396001. The campus is strategically accessible: Valsad Railway Station is approximately 2 km away, situated on the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Western Railway mainline ensuring excellent connectivity to Mumbai (4 hours) and Surat (1.5 hours). The nearest airport is Surat Airport, approximately 90 km away (~1 hour 15 minutes by road).

The campus spans 36 acres of lush green land and houses the main college academic building, the attached teaching hospital (operational since October 2, 1987), residential quarters for doctors and nursing staff, a student hostel, playground, library, and supporting facilities. The hospital started as a 50-bed general hospital in 1987 and has progressively expanded. It is currently a 650-bed multi-specialty tertiary care facility (being upgraded to 933 beds) with ICU, NICU, Dental, Physiotherapy, Blood Bank, Hemodialysis, well-equipped functional OTs (serving 1,500+ patients/month), X-ray, Ultrasonography, CT Scan, HMIS, and comprehensive laboratory and radiology departments.
