The Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) Mumbai was established as the Department of Chemical Technology on 1st October 1933 by the University of Mumbai, through active support of industries and philanthropists. The Institute was most popularly known as UDCT, Mumbai. Research has been an integral part of ICT since its inception and it has created over 500 first generation entrepreneurs. The UDCT grew significantly in stature and was granted autonomy under UGC regulations by the University of Mumbai and further converted into an Institute on 26th January 2002. Under the World Bank TEQIP programme, the Maharashtra government granted it full autonomy in June 2004. Due to the recommendations of the Government of Maharashtra and the University of Mumbai, the ICT was granted Deemed University Status by the MHRD on 12th September 2008, with all provisions of the UGC for funding and support as the state-owned deemed university.
The ICT has been receiving various grants and projects from the UGC, DAE, DBT, DST and other agencies, and Indian and foreign industries, with several centres of excellence: Centres of Advanced Studies in Chemical Engineering, Food Engineering and Technology, Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, Physico-Chemical Aspects of Textiles, Fibres, Dyes & Polymers; UGC Networking Resource Centre in Chemical Engineering; DBT-ICT Centre in Energy Biosciences; ICT-DAE Centre in Chemical Engineering Education and Research; Centre for Green Technology. The DAE has sanctioned ` 75 crores for the Centre in Chemical Engineering Education and Research with several projects from BARC and IGCAR for development of indigenous technologies for energy.
Merit is the only criterion for admission, including government reservation policy. Several merit-cum-means scholarships (261) are awarded to needy students which range from ` 3000 to ` 75000 per student per annum. Research has been an integral part of ICT, with state-of-the-art research facilities, and hostels. The faculty is highly accomplished, with multi-disciplinary interests and decorated with national and international awards and honors. All leading foreign universities and industries seek ICT graduates. Last year, a record of 161 full-time Ph.D. students and 120 Masters students, all with fellowships, were admitted.
We shall perennially strive to be a vibrant institute with continuously evolving curricula to brighten the future of the chemical, biological, materials and energy industries of the nation, and rank amongst the very best in the world through active participation and scholarship of our faculty, students and alumni. We shall be creators of sprouting knowledge and design cutting-edge technologies that will have the greatest impact on society and benefit mankind at large.
We shall generate and sustain an atmosphere conducive to germinating new knowledge at every available opportunity. The education we shall impart will enable our students to devise new solutions to meet the needs of all segments of society with regard to material and energy, while protecting the environment and conserving the natural resources. Our endeavours, while extending well beyond the confines of the classroom, will aim to enhance public welfare and our attempts to disseminate knowledge will spread to a greater multi- and cross-disciplinary platform to conduct research, discovery, technology development, service to industry and entrepreneurship, in consonance with India’s aspirations to be a welfare state. We will team scientists and engineers with professionals in other disciplines to arrive at better solutions. We will provide all our students with a strong foundation to encourage them to be our ambassadors in the professional activities that they choose to undertake in service of society at national and international levels. Through our vision, we will serve the profession and society and strive to reach the summit as a team, and ultimately serve as role models to the younger generation.

I studied in ICT, formally known as UDCT, during 1977 to 1983 , B.sc.( Tech) M.Sc.(Tech) specializing in Fat & Oils technology. The course is designed in such a way that you do not only grasp the basic concept of the technology but it prepares you to be leader in your chosen field. Recently, the NAAC grading is out and ICT got A++ with CGPA of 3.77
(out of 4), which is one of the highest grade and rating. I owe everything to UDCT/ICT whatever I am today in the industry.

Great College! Great Tag to carry with.
But most of staff is Egoistic. That's ok if its personal, but when it becomes hindrance in research, it has to be mentioned on Google reviews.
The experience is superb. Spend two years here. :)
