Re: Mumbai University History
The University of Mumbai is one of the first three state universities of India and the oldest in Maharashtra. It was established on 18 July 1857 after a petition from the Bombay Association to the British government of India according to "Wood's despatch", drafted by Sir Charles Wood in 1854. The first degrees awarded in 1862 were Bachelor of Arts and Licentiate in Medicine. 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. 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.[3] The University of Mumbai offers Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral courses apart from diplomas and certificates in many disciplines. The language of instruction for most courses is English. The University of Mumbai is one of the largest universities in the world in terms of the number of students.
