About University of Mumbai
The University of Mumbai is a state university in Mumbai, Maharashtra. It dates from 1857, when it became one of India's first three universities following Wood's Education Despatch, and it carried the name University of Bombay until a state government notification gazetted on 4 September 1996 renamed it. UGC recognises it under Section 12(B) and has granted it Category-I status, and NAAC awarded it an A++ grade in August 2021. Its main campuses are at Fort and at Vidyanagari in Kalina, with sub-campuses at Thane, Kalyan, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg.
Mumbai University's own departments teach arts, science, commerce, law and interdisciplinary subjects, and its Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies and Alkesh Dinesh Mody Institute run MMS programmes. First-year undergraduate places are filled from merit lists after online pre-admission enrolment. MMS seats at JBIMS go through DTE Maharashtra's CAP rounds on MAH-MBA/MMS CET, CMAT or CAT scores, and LL.M. places through the university's own LL.M. CET. In NIRF 2025 it is ranked 92nd overall, 54th among universities and 12th among state public universities.
