Legacy

Jai Hind College, Empowered Autonomous, Mumbai, has a history spanning almost 77 years. Soon after the Indian Independence, in 1948, a group of visionary professors of D.J. Sind College, Karachi, and other eminent educationists founded Jai Hind College under the registered name of ‘Sind Educationists’ Association’ primarily for the educational rehabilitation of the Sindhi community. Their goal was to contribute their expertise, knowledge, and skills in order to set up an educational institution par excellence.

From a humble Arts college, Jai Hind College soon diversified into Science in 1949, followed by Commerce in 1980. Post 2000, several Self-financed and Vocational Courses were introduced to improve employability of students, such as Bachelor of Management Studies (BMS), Bachelor of Mass Media (BMM), Bachelor of Accounting and Finance (BAF), Bachelor of Banking and Insurance (BBI), Bachelor of Financial Market (BFM) and, Bachelor of Vocational Studies in Travel & Tourism Management (B. Voc. TTM) and Software Development (B. Voc. SD). Recently, Bachelor of Digital Strategy (BDS), Master of Science in Big Data Analytics, Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), in collaboration with TCS as the industry partner. Bachelor in International Accounting (BIA) and Bachelor in Actuarial Science and Quantitative Finance (BAQF) were recently introduced. Inclusion of courses that are industry aligned is undertaken in every new academic session.
