The Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai is a unique Institute which was established on 1st October 1933 as a University Department of the Bombay University (UDCT), completing 90 years of glorious past. ICT has created its own brand over the years which has been recognized by several prestigious awards and accolades to the faculty, students, and alumni individually and also as an institute. Under the World Bank’s Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP), ICT was granted full autonomous status in 2004 and declared as Deemed-to-be University on September 12, 2008, by the MHRD under Section 3 of the UGC Act of 1956.

Integrated MTech with industrial internship is an innovative program where students may get a stipend from Industry in addition to accommodation and other facilities. During the course work student will be trained in an industry-leading to two years of total industrial experience. More than 50 industries are providing internships. This will help a student to acquire a better understanding of industrial processes/activities and in turn, helps in acquiring placement.

There are many refineries and petrochemical and allied industries in the country to employ students of the ICT. Alumni are at the helm of affairs of large number of renowned chemical industries. A placement cell is launched with the participation of the UDCT Alumni Association (UAA) to assist campus placement which begins in the month of July, and continues throughout the year for students. The Institute’s graduates are highly-sought after by the Indian and global chemical industry and their salaries rank among one of the highest in the country, even dwarfing the salaries of graduates of the premier branded institutes; placements achieved via campus interviews fetch emoluments ranging from Rs. 3.50 to Rs 16.00 lakhs per annum. What is most striking is that these placements are in hard-core industries relevant to the students training and education, and not in the software industry, which has been a major source for employment for graduates of some of the best institutes in India. With regards to post-graduate research opportunities, a good number of our students are offered admission by some of the world’s best universities to pursue graduate studies. The Institute is one of the few institutions in Asia that is regularly represented in the graduate student bodies of prestigious institutes such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, Caltech, UCSB, Princeton, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, University of Texas, Carnegie Mellon University, Purdue University, University of Massachusetts, Cambridge University, Imperial College, Manchester University, Twente University, Monash University, to name a few. All of them receive full financial support. Several universities write to us to recommend good students. Leading foreign universities have signed MOUs for student exchange through proper support for the exchange. On average, about 75 students from various degree programs get such fellowships. Quite a few Ph.D. holders go abroad for post-doctoral studies in reputed institutes; this is directly linked to the quality of research outcomes and the personal positioning of the faculty in the international community.
