The Wilson College, established in 1832 in Mumbai, is one of India's oldest colleges;[2] its foundation precedes that of the University of Mumbai, (to which it is affiliated), by 25 years.[3] Wilson College was granted autonomy by Mumbai University in November 2021.[4] It was awarded an A rating by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in 2005.
Located opposite Mumbai's Girgaon Chowpatty, the college building was constructed in 1889 and designed by John Adams in the domestic Victorian Gothic style.[5] It is listed as a Grade III heritage structure in the city. As of 2011[update], the college offered a variety of subjects for both higher secondary and undergraduate students which include University Aided courses for the Arts and the Sciences as well as self-financed courses such as Mass Media, Information Technology, Management Studies, Biotechnology, Electronics & Computer Science.[6][needs update]
