Institute of Chemical Technology Mumbai

Institute of Chemical Technology in Matunga, Mumbai, established in 1933 as the University Department of Chemical Technology, is the country's foremost institution for chemical engineering and allied technologies. Its alumni include some of India's best-known industrialists and scientists, and its research output in the chemical sciences is out of proportion to its size. Despite state-government ownership it enjoys elite standing: admission to its B.Tech programmes through Maharashtra's engineering entrance process is fiercely competitive, with state candidates taking most seats at public-university fees. The Mumbai location adds internships across pharmaceuticals, FMCG and speciality chemicals. It holds a NIRF rank of 30 and an A++ NAAC grade. It suits students genuinely interested in chemical engineering, pharmacy or biotechnology — those defaulting to computer science should look elsewhere, because this institution's depth lies in chemistry-driven disciplines.
