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 in to 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 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.
About Department of Chemical Engineering
Department of Chemical Engineering, Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai is the leading Chemical Engineering Department in the country. The number of papers published in peer reviewed journals per faculty is also the highest in India. The FIST programme of DST has revealed that the Chemical Engineering Department is the best department in all engineering departments in India. The value and impact of our research is reflected in the number of papers per faculty member, high impact factor per paper, and the number of citations for papers of Chemical Engineering Department. Collaborative Academic Programs have been initiated with international institutes such as Purdue University, Kansas University and, CSIR labs. Faculty members as well as students in Chemical Engineering have received several fellowships/ awards of INSA, IAS, NAS, INAE, IIChE, etc. Nanotechnology, computational fluid dynamics, cavitation and sonochemistry, harnessing solar energy, CO2 sequestration and conversion, membrane technology, soft matter, catalysis, bioenergy, and pharmaceutical biotechnology, biomaterials biopharmaceuticals, etc. are some of the areas in which active research is being carried out in the department.
About TEQIP
The Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai (ICT-Mumbai) is a Deemed University under Section 3 of UGC Act of 1956 and was one of the Lead Institutions under Phase-I of Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP-I) of the Government of India. The purpose of TEQIP is to enhance capabilities of Indian educational institutions to respond to the rapid pace of technological and economic development occurring both nationally and internationally. The program facilitates the transition of beneficiary institutions into dynamic, quality conscious, efficient and responsive centres of excellence. ICT-Mumbai has benefited greatly from this program: as demonstrated by the extensive infrastructural development carried out using TEQIP funds and the concomitant increase in research output. The Institute has gone on to undertake knowledge dissemination programs and has successfully implemented a variety of new technologies. The TEQIP was critical in the process of the Institute to becoming an Autonomous Institute in the initial phase of the TEQIP programme and a Deemed University in the later stage of the program.
