DESCRIPTION :

Elphinstone College occupies a unique position in the annals of education in the country. It is an outstanding place of learning which came into existences much before the University of Mumbai¸ to which it was later on affiliated.

The institution is known for its open access to students from all strata of the society. This includes various communities¸ income groups and interests. It is one of the few colleges in Mumbai with an extensive hostel facility for both boys and girls. Located within a walking range from the college and overlooking the marine Drive¸ the hostel is certainly among the unique strengths of the College.

The college has an enviable location¸ which is also historically significant. The building of the College with its gothic architecture¸ has been classified as a grade 1 Heritage structure. It has recently been restored by the Kala Ghoda Association and has regained its luminous look. It stands out like a pearl as night falls. The College was awarded the Asia-Pacific Heritage Award for Culture Heritage Conservation¸ by UNESCO in 2004.

The well equipped College library has a collection of over one lakh books¸ journals and periodicals¸ ranging from some of the oldest and rarest books in the country to the latest and the most contemporary.
