About Department

ABOUT DEPARTMENT

  • In the year 1933 i.e. 89 years ago, the Textile Industry was progressing in-full swing in city like Mumbai, and Ahmedabad, many other industries were not even born, in that pre-independence era. 
  •  It was the time Sir Vitthal Chandavarkar(The V.C. of University of Mumbai and also the Chairman of Mill Owners` Association ) and his industrialists friends donated 200 lakhs for creation of an educational and research institute catering to the need of Textile industry and that’s how this ICT, then called as University Department of Chemical Technology, under the wings of Mumbai University.
  •  Established with two disciplines: Department of Fibres and Textile Processing Technology (FTPT, formerly known as Textile Chemistry) and Chemical Engineering . 
  •  Degrees offered were B.Sc. Tech (Textile Chemistry) & B.Sc. Tech (Chemical Engineering)
    • Department is in existence from inception of UDCT under the wings of Mumbai University i.e. year 1933 
    • 89 years of Glorious past
    • Name changed from Textile chemistry to Fibres and Textile Processing Technology in the year 1998 with 4 year B.Tech Degree in alignment with national policy.
    • This unique undergraduate course has been designed for students to explore a specialized area in Textile Wet Processing.
    • The department is recognized as Centre of Advanced studies in “Physicochemical aspects of Textile, Fibres, Polymers and Dyes” presently in Phase VIII, since 1962

Government bodies sponsoring projects include CSIR, UGC, DBT, FIST-DST, MODROBS & MoT 

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) of Textile Department

PEO1: To prepare a professionals in Textile technology along with the knowledge of recent developments to be absorbed in Academia, Research Institutes in India and abroad along with Entrepreneurship skills.
