Mumbai

Set up in 1958, IIT Bombay was the second IIT in the country. It was built with assistance from the UNESCO and funds contributed by the Soviet Union. IIM Mumbai came into existence as the National Institute of Industrial Engineering was converted in 2023. Before IIM Guwahati, the Mumbai institute was the latest addition to the list of IIMs.
