Maharashtra State Skills University (MSSU), Mumbai, also known as Ratan Tata Maharashtra State Skills University (RT-MSSU), was established in 2021 under Maharashtra Act No. VII of 2021 by the Government of Maharashtra. It is a pioneering public/state university recognized by the UGC and aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP). Headquartered at Elphinstone Technical High School, Mahapalika Marg, Metro Chowk, Mumbai, MSSU is Maharashtra’s first dedicated skills university, created to bridge the gap between education and employability.
The university offers undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, and certificate programs across diverse skill domains, with popular courses in Engineering, Management, Agriculture, and Technology. Its unique 60:40 model blends 60% industry-based skill training with 40% classroom instruction, ensuring students gain hands-on experience through On-the-Job Training (OJT), internships, and industry projects. The Mumbai campus provides modern classrooms, labs, a central library, hostels, and sports facilities, fostering holistic development. A dedicated placement cell connects students with leading corporate partners, while scholarship schemes support meritorious and economically weaker students.
Guided by its vision of “Skill is Power”, MSSU emphasizes industry partnerships, innovation, and learner-centric education. With its flexible entry-exit system and performance-based assessments, the university has quickly earned recognition as a hub for future-ready, employable graduates in Maharashtra.
