VJTI is widely regarded as one of India's finest institutions for engineering courses (mainly by people who were never students here, but that's a different story). Within its huge campus at Matunga you can be sure of finding several different activities going on at any given time. And don't think they're all related to studies! From sports to the performing arts to literature, this is where the personality of a VJTIite finds true expression. If you notice, the classroom did not figure in the list of places you can express yourself.

VJTI was set up 1887 so that the Brits wouldn't have to import people skilled in the technical sciences from old Blighty. In 1917, it was shifted from Byculla to its present location at Matunga.

VJTI offers courses in the following fields :

• Chemistry
• Civil Engineering
• Computer Engineering

In addition, there are various diploma courses offered as well as the Master of Computer Applications (MCA) post grad degree.
