“Developing Technological Entrepreneurs & Innovative Leaders of tomorrow’s world consistent with Franciscan vision of Integrity” is the vision of St. Francis Institute of Technology (SFIT).

With this goal in mind, SFIT was established at Borivli, Mumbai in the western suburbs to provide higher technical quality education at affordable cost. Started in 1999 with just three branches the college has grown over the years and has now five full time Undergraduate courses and two Masters and PhD programs. The institute has plans to introduce new courses in emerging technologies as well in the near future to be abreast with the current needs of the industry.

In the academic front as well as in placement, SFIT is doing extremely well and is now reckoned as one of the top Engineering Colleges under the University of Mumbai. The Institute is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for two courses but very soon it will be three. It is also ISO 9001:2015 certified for ‘Providing undergraduate courses in engineering/technology’ and now have applied for accreditation by NAAC.

To realize our Vision the College encourages and motivates our students towards entrepreneurship, we have set up ‘SFIT-Incubation Centre’ with ample space and facilities where our students are developing ‘Start-up’ projects along with their studies, under the guidance of faculty.

Most of our senior faculty are PhD holders with the support and encouragement by the Management. The Institute’s Library is the ‘Resource Centre of knowledge’ well equipped with books, journals and magazines where our faculty and students learn and update their knowledge. The College encourages our students to participate in competitive sports and games. To instil social awareness and sensitivity in our students we have set up NSS Unit under the University of Mumbai with a full time Co-ordinator and our students actively participate in a number of such activities. To develop healthy personality and instil confidence, we have a Counsellor to assist our young students in their emotional issues. To assist in placements we have a full time Training & Placement Officer.

Our students participate in a number of technical competitions at the National and International level. Hackathon projects, Coding, ADC, Robocon just to name a few.

With the good wishes and support from our stake holders and under the guidance and advice of the Governing Board and Governing Council, we are constantly striving to make SFIT one of the best Engineering Institute not only in Mumbai but across Maharashtra and India.
