About M H Saboo Siddik College of Engineering, Mumbai

The Mohammed Haji Saboo Siddik Institute (A Muslim Minority Institution) owes its existence to the munificence of late Mohammed, son of Haji Saboo Siddik, who bequeathed a large sum of money for establishing, conducting and managing this Institution for imparting Vocational, Technical and Industrial training and education. The value of the assets, so bequeathed, exceeded Rupees Three Crore at the time of donation.

The Institution is managed and administrated by the Anjuman-i-Islam as the sole trustee, appointed by the Bombay High Court's decree and scheme framed and sanctioned thereunder. The very well laid out college building accommodates workshops, laboratories, classrooms, lecture halls, drawing halls, students' common room, seminar hall, library, reading-rooms, offices, etc. with modern facilities. The College is accommodated in an exclusively newly-constructed spacious ground plus five floors building. The library of the College is housed in a separate newly-constructed building and is furnished with reference section and reading-rooms for students and staff. A very sophisticated Seminar Hall furnished with the most modern equipment was inaugurated by Dr. Raja Ramanna, an eminent scientist of our country, on the annual day celebrations on 9th April, 2001. A spacious and well-furnished cafeteria is also operative in the campus.

Originally, the institute was founded in the year 1936 as a “Trade School“ with the objective of turning out artisans in some industrial arts and crafts. A major re-organisation in its curriculum took place in the year 1944, as a result of which few more Trades and Certificate courses were started and a Technical High School was also opened. In 1958, a three year State Diploma course in Civil Engineering was started.
From the academic year 1984-85, the Management started the M.H. Saboo Siddik College of Engineering with three specialized B.E. courses in (i) Construction Engg, (ii) Production Engineering, and (iii) Industrial Engienering affiliated to the University of Mumbai with an intake of 60 students in each course, which is the most magnificent event and a landmark in the history of the Institution. From the academic year 1985-86, the Management started a degree course in Automobile Engineering and distributed the intake capacity of 60 students of Industrial Engineering equally (i.e. 30 each) to the Industrial Engineering and Automobile Engineering. From June 1986, the Management started a degree in Electronics with 30 intake capacity in place of degree course in Industrial Engineering. The intake of 30 in Electronics Engineering was increased to 60 from the year 1990. The College also started B.E. course in Information Technology, initially with an intake of 30 seats from academic year 2001-2002. A brief Historic Synopsis is as follows:
