[[File:Nehru - rope FoundationStone IITBombay 1959.jpg|thumb|left|160px|IIT Bombay's foundation stone being laid by [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] in 1959]]<br />
IIT Bombay, established in 1958, was the second [[Indian Institutes of Technology|Indian Institute of Technology]] to be founded. Its establishment was supported by [[UNESCO]], with funding provided by the [[Soviet Union]]. The proposed site for the institute, allocated by the government of [[Bombay State]], was [[Powai]] in what is now [[Mumbai]], then known as Bombay. The institute's first batch, composed of 100 male students, commenced their studies in a temporary facility in [[Worli]] during their first year due to the construction of the campus in Powai. They graduated in 1962.<ref>{{cite web |last=Smart |first=Pallavi |date=5 January 2023 |title=First batch of IIT Bombay comes back to campus to reflect on the journey — and mark road ahead |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/first-batch-of-iit-bombay-comes-back-to-campus-to-reflect-on-the-journey-and-mark-road-ahead-8351477/ |url-access=subscription |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221230021118/https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/first-batch-of-iit-bombay-comes-back-to-campus-to-reflect-on-the-journey-and-mark-road-ahead-8351477/ |archive-date=30 December 2022 |website=[[The Indian Express]]}}</ref><ref name="worli">{{cite web |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai/iit-b-s-first-batch-to-have-50-yr-reunion/story-grj8Z0DQRRskkobFuYLIpI.html |title=IIT-B's first batch to have 50-yr-reunion |date=28 December 2012 |access-date=1 September 2023 |website=[[Hindustan Times]]}}</ref><br />
