MUMBAI UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY -PGDCTM(ME)

The Chemical Engineering Department of UICT is known as one of the best chemical engineering schools in the world. The Chemical Engineering Department of UDCT, from its inception to date, maintains a continued tradition of high quality education, research and academia-industry interaction. There is a regular output of high quality research in the field of multiphase reactors, catalysis, Bio separation, enzyme technology, environmental engineering, process intensification and process development. Detailed information on the various activities is given in the sections that follow. Given below are the main features of the Department. Despite depleted faculty strength the Department has been able to keep both its academic and industry interactions at a sustained high level. The number of research students per faculty member in the Department is the highest in the Chemical Engineering Departments in the world. The current research grants and interaction with the industry during the year 2004-2005 was an all time high

LIBRARY Our library is a treasure house of a plethora of important books. In the fields of Chemical Technology, Pharmacy, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Computers, etc. including many valuable out-of-print books that are referred to very regularly. Several handbooks, encyclopedias, reference books and abstracts are available in the library. We subscribe to most leading journals related to the research activity of the Department. UICT library is located in the heart of Mumbai city -attracting a variety of readers, students, scholars, industrialists, teachers . The library has a specialized collection in the field of chemistry / chemical technology / chemical engineering and possesses some of the rare reports like BIOS ,CIOS, FIAT. The Encyclopedia like Kirk-Othmer, Ullmann, McKetta, Dictionary of organic compounds, Merck Index,Beilsteins Handbuch Der Organischen chemie , chemical abstracts with collective indexes, U.S. & British Pharmacopoeias form the backbone of this library. UICT library has some of the major ACS symposium series, AIChE symposium series, monograph series, & core journals like JACS, JCS, JSDC. Books in biotechnology like Rehm & Reed, Encyclopedias of Biopocess Engineering are updated with assistance from DBT & donors from industries. The UICT Library has MOU with BONET for participating in exchange program devised by MISSAT, DST, New Delhi. The library area is 1,020 sq.m.. We have always been receiving books and journals as gifts from many well wishers and industries. A large number of readership of library comes from industry. One of the outstanding attributes of the UICT library is the availability of sustaining funds as a result of the creation of special endowments for library and partly through other memorial trusts.

Hostel & accomodation:

It is indeed a matter of pride and privilege for me to introduce to you all the hostel facilities on our campus. The University of Mumbai built its first hostel in its Matunga premises in 1952 and it was called the University and Birla Hostel. Prof.M.V. Joshi, Head of General Engineering Division was the first Warden, who remained as the Warden until 1983. The second hostel called the New Hostel and Staff Quarters was built in 1966 in order to cater to increased capacity of students and staff quarters were also part of it. The University Hostel was called the Old Hostel and it had been used exclusively by the UDCT students. With advent of time, the B.Sc.(Tech.) course was converted to three year post-B.Sc. Course. Besides, M.Sc.(Tech.) and M.Chem.Engg. Courses of 2 year duration were alongwith Ph.D.(Tech.) The hostel capacity was totally inadequate and only those students admitted on all India basis and out of Mumbai jurisdiction upto Kalyan, were preferred. This need was partly satisfied by the building of the Joint Hostel for the students of UDCT and J.J.College of Architecture in 1988. The ladies hostel was then added during 1995 in view of the increased presence of lady students. All these hostels were built though the plan grants from the UGC. Hostel No.5 came through the efforts of Professor J.B.Joshi, the current Director, with majority of funding coming from private donations in 2004. Meanwhile, the University of Mumbai, which used to support the hostels relinquished its authority to the UICT from 2005 after the granting of autonomy in June 2004. Our hostels are catering to the needs of almost 750 students including 130 lady students. We have undertaken massive infrastructural and administrative reforms which are distinct. It is our endeavour to make the hostels as the second home for all hostelites. So a few photographs are included in this souvenir to show you ambiance. Now, these hostels are called Hostel No.1,2,3 , (4 temporarily not available) and 5. Several changes have been introduced on the campus through private donations. I believe that it is the duty of the students representative to take stock of it and am sure that they will present their reports during the Annual Day.
