Jai Hind College has been conferred the Autonomous Status by the Union Ministry of HRD and the University of Mumbai from the academic year 2018-19 onwards. The aims and objectives of the Institution in taking this giant step towards enhancement of overall excellence under Academic Autonomy are as follows:

• To nurture creativity and out-of-the-box thinking;
• To be a platform to cultivate conscientious citizenship through promotion of community services, extension activities and the like, as an integral part of the curricula for the benefit of society at large.

The College has held several brainstorming sessions with its faculty, the pivotal architect in this mammoth process, and has outlined the following goals under autonomy:

• Progress in academics
