SVKM’s Mithibai College of Arts, Chauhan Institute of Science & Amrutben Jivanlal College of Commerce and Economics, is one of the most desired destinations for education in India. It started its mission of “Ghyanyagna”  in 1961, as a college offering Arts & Science education.  Mithibai College extended its wings to initiate commerce education in 1981. Since then, the college has broadened its horizons, offering various skill enhancement graduate, post-graduate and Ph.D. Programmes. Today, an approximate number of 10,000 students are availing quality education at junior college and undergraduate and postgraduate levels at the institute.

The University Grants Commission conferred graded autonomy to the institute, in the year 2018-2019. Since then, the college has striven with renewed enthusiasm to ensure the overall development of the primary stakeholders, the students. Mithibai College has upgraded the curricula of the existing educational programmes, developed and implemented new programmes which will enable them to secure better job opportunities on the successful completion of the programmes.

In the present times, imparting skill-based education will open employment avenues for the youth and lend opportunities for the young entrepreneurs.

Academic autonomy has empowered the college to upgrade the teaching-learning process. The curricula are reinforced with relevant projects to be undertaken by the students, and an emphasis on mastering soft skills, as an inevitable part of the skill sets to be acquired by the student. The curricula are updated every two years to remain on par with the demands of the market. Projects, industrial visits, seminars, workshops, guest lectures support the overall learning of the students.
