Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute

Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute, founded in 1887, is one of the oldest engineering institutions in India, and its Matunga campus sits in the middle of Mumbai. It is autonomous, affiliated to the University of Mumbai, and its combination — government-scale fees, a central-city location, and an alumni network spread across a century of Indian industry — keeps its MHT-CET cutoffs among the highest in Maharashtra, with computer science the most competitive branch. The institute holds an A grade from NAAC. Facilities are older than at private rivals, a trade-off most students accept willingly for the brand and the city: internships and placements benefit directly from Mumbai's technology and financial employers. It suits high-scoring students who want elite value for money and an urban college experience over campus polish.
