History:-
The University of Mumbai was established in 1857 after a petition from the Bombay Association to the then British government of India according to "Wood's despatch", drafted by Sir Charles Wood in 1854. It was modelled on the universities in Great Britain, specifically University of London.
The earliest departments were the faculty of arts at Elphinstone College, founded in 1835, and the faculty of medicine at Grant Medical College, founded in 1845. As these colleges existed before the university was founded, they surrendered their degree-granting privileges to the university. The first degrees awarded in 1862 were Bachelor of Arts and Licentiate in Medicine.
Initially, the Town Hall in Mumbai was used as premised for the university's offices.
Until 1904, the university only conducted examinations, awarded affiliations to colleges, developed curricula and directed guidelines to colleges for developing curricula. Teaching departments, research disciplines and post-graduate courses were introduced from 1904. Several university departments were established, starting with the School of Sociology and Civics and Politics[citation needed]. After India achieved independence in 1947, the functions and powers of the university were sought to be reorganised, for which The Bombay University Act of 1953 was passed. The name of the University was changed from University of Bombay to University of Mumbai as per a gazette of the Government of Maharashtra dated 4 September 1996.
In 1949, student enrolment was 42,272 with 80 affiliated colleges. By 1975, these numbers had grown to 156,190 and 114 respectively.

It has two post-graduate centres, 354 affiliated colleges, and 36 departments.

However, most colleges of engineering and medicine affiliated to the University of Mumbai are privately owned. The university does not have its own engineering and medicine departments.

It was named in memory of his mother Rajabai. It is 85 metres (280 feet) tall, with five storeys. At a height of 9.1 m (30 ft) from the ground, there are eight statues representing the Indian castes.
