About Us
Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, is a unique institute which was established on 1st October 1933 as a University Department of the Bombay University (UDCT). It has created its own brand over the years which has been recognized by several prestigious awards and accolades to the faculty, students and alumni individually and also as the institute. Under the World Bank’s Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP), it was granted full autonomous status in 2004 and declared as Deemed-to-be University on September 12, 2008 by the MHRD under Section 3 of the UGC Act of 1956. It was granted an Elite Status and Centre of Excellence on par with IITs, IISc and IISERs in the State Assembly by the Maharashtra Govt. based on its stellar performance. This was indeed confirmed by the NIRF-MHRD ranking and QS Rankings. Even if it is clubbed with engineering category including IITs, its rank is 4. ICT is housed on 16 acres in Mumbai and is running 9 UG, 18 PG and 29 PhD programmes. ICT is governed according to special Statutes which go beyond Deemed University concept as approved by the State. In a historic decision on February 12, 2018, the University Grants Commission declared Category I Deemed to be University status to ICT which has maintained high academic standards (NAAC grade of A++ CGPA 3.77 out of 4).
