Shirish Naik

The University of Mumbai, established in 1857, is one of India’s oldest and most prestigious institutions. It offers a diverse range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs across disciplines such as science, commerce, arts, management, engineering, law, and social sciences. The university operates primarily from two campuses: the Fort Campus, known for its historic Rajabai Clock Tower, and the expansive Kalina Campus, which spans 243 acres and provides a serene environment conducive to learning and research. Students have access to comprehensive facilities, including separate hostels for boys and girls, well-furnished rooms, spacious classrooms, and full-time internet connectivity. The Jawaharlal Nehru Library serves as a central resource, housing an extensive collection of academic materials. The university has produced notable alumni who have significantly contributed to various fields. However, some students have expressed concerns regarding placement opportunities, citing limited campus recruitment and lower salary packages. Despite these challenges, the University of Mumbai remains a prominent educational institution, blending historical significance with academic diversity.

Sanat Parmar

If you want to check out for the most inefficient and defunct educational institutions, you must head out for Mumbai University. Even a simple process of form submission will easily consume your entire day , and moreso, there will be a line of frustrated students and parents hopelessly waiting to get a reply for their requests. I am speaking of the administrative department.. but from what I gathered from the students on campus.. some of the offered courses are really good and worth opting for.

Rishi Tripathi

The University of Mumbai is a prestigious institution with a rich history, offering a wide range of academic programs and a vibrant campus life. It has a strong faculty, modern infrastructure, and good placement opportunities, making it a great choice for students. Overall, it's an excellent institution with some areas for improvement.

Mohammad Adil

This is probably one of the worst universities in the world in terms of administration. The administrative staff is usually uneducated and extremely rude. For every small work they need bribe, if they don't get they will make your life hell and destroy your career. Students have zero value here and are insulted even by peons. I did masters here in June 2018 and qualified for JRF but they have provided me the master degree in 2019 and enrolled in PhD in 2020. So they wasted 2 years because I didn't pay the bribe. The process of submitting thesis was 6 months and after one more year they might give me the degree.
