University of Mumbai

The University of Mumbai, established in 1857, is among the oldest universities in India, and its degrees are woven into the city's professional life — most Mumbai undergraduates in arts, commerce and science study at one of its vast number of affiliated colleges rather than at the university itself. Its heritage Fort campus houses the administration, while the 243-acre Kalina campus holds most teaching departments. The university carries an A++ grade from NAAC. For a prospective student the practical question is which affiliated college to target, since reputations differ enormously under the same degree. What the university reliably supplies is recognition — a Mumbai degree travels well — plus the city's unmatched job market. It suits students who want an affordable, recognised degree inside India's commercial capital and choose their college carefully.
