Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute

What Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute does

VJTI is a Mumbai-headquartered, Maharashtra State Government-owned autonomous engineering institute founded in 1887 as Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute and renamed Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute in 1997. It delivers diploma, undergraduate (B.Tech across Civil & Environmental, Computer & IT, Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Production, Structural, and Textile Engineering), postgraduate (M.Tech, MCA), doctoral (Ph.D.), and working-professional programs, supported by NBA-accredited curriculum, UGC-granted autonomy (2019), and a NAAC assessment. The institute serves approximately 4,000+ students taught by 150 faculty members, with industry-standard software tools (Cadence, ANSYS, MATLAB, SOLIDWORKS, COMSOL, AutoCAD, Cisco) deployed in instruction and Centres of Excellence such as the SIEMENS facility.

Its business model is that of a government-subsidised educational institution. Revenue streams include Maharashtra State Government funding, recurring student tuition across program tiers (with separate schedules for AY 2025-26 and separate structures for working professionals, diploma, and hostels), research grants under TEQIP (Rs 12.5 Crores program funding), consultancy income, and CSR contributions from alumni (notably Savex Technologies' Rs 2.5 Crore for the E=MC² Lab and Shah Happiness Foundation's funding for a five-floor Multipurpose Academic Building). Admissions are centrally administered through DTE Maharashtra's CAP rounds; the Training and Placement Office brokers relationships with repeat recruiters including Google, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Microsoft, Amazon, Deloitte, L&T, Tata Motors, Siemens and Reliance.

Distribution and operational infrastructure include a single Matunga campus, a board of governors chaired since May 2026 by Dr. Sudhir Mehta (CMD, Pinnacle Industries), the Director Dr. Sachin D. Kore (since June 27, 2023), and a VJTI Technology Business Incubator. Strategic priorities visible from recent MoUs and events include Industry 4.0 integration (AVEVA CONNECT, SIEMENS Centre of Excellence), smart-campus systems (ToiletSeva 2.0), and international research participation through GIAN Courses.
