ABOUT VJTI
The Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute was established
in 1887. The glorious 130 years V.J.T.I. started with only two
departments, namely Sir J. J. School of Mechanical
Engineering and the Ripon Textile School for the two branches
of industry in which Bombay was vitally interested at the time.
The first step in the expansion of the Institute was taken in 1903
when courses in Electrical Engineering were introduced, later
Technical & Applied Chemistry Department in 1906,
Department of Sanitary Engineering in 1914, In 1913 by G. R.
No. 1850 of 27th June, the institute was recognized by the
Government of Bombay as the Central Technological Institute,
Bombay Province. In the course of development, the bachelor
degree courses in Textile, Mechanical Engineering and
Electrical Engineering were started in 1946, 1947 and 1949
respectively. Then the Computer Engineering Department was
added in 1986.
VJTI spreads in sixteen acre campus at a prime location in
Mumbai at Matunga. The VJTI structure is a landmark icon in
itself and has been recognized as World Heritage site. The main
building is a central administrative building, around which
buildings for housing the departments have been constructed
from time to time. The central building consists of the main
administrative offices, the library and the auditorium.
The institute is reputed for teaching and research in
Engineering and Technology at Diploma, Degree, Post
Graduate and PhD levels. Presently VJTI is pioneered with
B.Tech programmes in almost all core streams of engineering,
19 M.Tech programs, and Ph.D programs in various
engineering disciplines. Since the time of inception, V.J.T.I.
has been playing a vital role in producing quality engineers.
The VJTI is selected for TEQIP phase-III institutes. The status
of Autonomous Institute facilitates for introducing new
courses, framing syllabi and their examination schemes at the
Institute level. In 1998, the Institute was renamed from its old
name Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute to its present name
Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute. The Institute is
affiliated to the University of Mumbai and was one of the
fourteen institutes selected by the Central Government for
further development with grant-in-aid from the Centre.
VJTI Campus has Hostel facilities exist for students, about
573 boys in block B, C and D; and around 255 girls in block
A and E. Internet Centre facility till 11.00pm. and Libary
facility till 8.30 pm to facilitate students academic and research
needs.
