IIT Bombay was the second [[Indian Institutes of Technology|Indian Institute of Technology]] to be established in 1958 with assistance from [[UNESCO]] and with funds contributed by the [[Soviet Union]]. UNESCO agreed to provide equipment and technical experts mainly from the Soviet Union, while the Government of India accepted the responsibility for all other expenses including the cost of the building project and recurring expenses. The site chosen for the institute was [[Powai]] with an area of {{convert|550|acre|km2}} which was given by the then [[Bombay State]] Government. While construction was being completed, the first academic session of the Institute opened on 25 July 1958, in its temporary home at the Synthetic and Art Silk Mills Research Association (SASMIRA) building in [[Worli]] with 100 students. | IIT Bombay was the second [[Indian Institutes of Technology|Indian Institute of Technology]] to be established in 1958 with assistance from [[UNESCO]] and with funds contributed by the [[Soviet Union]].{{cn|date=November 2022}} UNESCO agreed to provide equipment and technical experts mainly from the Soviet Union, while the Government of India accepted the responsibility for all other expenses including the cost of the building project and recurring expenses.

These students were selected from over 3,400 applicants for admission to the first year undergraduate engineering programmes of Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Engineering Physics, Energy, Mechanical, Metallurgical Engineering, and MSc Chemistry. One of the main objectives of establishing the institute was to develop facilities for studies in a variety of specialized engineering and technological sciences.
