The city is home to several premier research institutions like the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC).

The growing importance of Information Technology (IT) has been realized by the Government of Maharashtra. The State Government has thus constituted the Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation (MKC) with an initial investment of Rs.5 crores.

The main objective of the Corporation is to provide IT-enabled education in all universities, colleges and other educational institutions in the state.

Among the institutes offering higher education in the field of Technology in Mumbai, to name a few are the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B), Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) and the Vivekanand Education Society's (VES) Institute of Technology.

We at the National Network of Education have given our best to bring all the educational institutions of Mumbai under single cover. We have struggled days together to collect the vast information of nearly 700 educational institutions, their complete address, telephone numbers, names of the head of the institutions etc. It has been our endeavour to provide everything, possibly all information on almost all the educational institutions in Mumbai.
