ThisDayThatYear: AN INSTITUTION THAT OUTGREW ITS HOME

Sunday November 14,2021 by Team Khaki

The Victoria Jubilee Technical Institute started with just two departments - the JJ School of Mechanical Engineering and the Ripon Textile School - in 1887 where the Railway Hospital is today in Byculla. With the introduction of more courses - Electrical Engineering in 1903, Technical & Applied Chemistry in 1906, and Sanitary Engineering in 1913, the premises became insufficient, and this day, 98 years ago, the institute shifted to a new campus at the newly developed Dadar-Matunga Estate of the Bombay Improvement Trust
