Fine. But why separate? Well, AJ was founded 19 years after the main structure. The main building was already a separate piece of land for the institute.

Strength of the college:

Mithibai has about 10,000 students in all, the only college in India to admit such a massive crowd, and considering the size of the institute and the number of students who wanna get in, principal Rupa Shah can easily admit a few double digits more. "But that would do injustice to the students and their studies," she explains.

Wow! An already over-burdened management, eh? Yeah! Probably, that's exactly why Mithibai's the sole institute to have as many as five vice-principals and three junior college supervisors at a time.

Any other salient features?

Well, Mithibai and N M are the only colleges to share a common canteen, and that too, one of the largest around. The food's quite famous for its taste and variety. But mind you, entry is restricted to Mithibaities and NM'iites only.

Why a common canteen?

Initially, Mithibai had a small room within their main premises itself, but it was too small to squeeze in the entire rush. N M on the other hand was looking out for a spacious canteen too. Meanwhile, there was this huge idle space between the two which just attached the two structures. Hence, the decision was taken. Today, the old canteen of Mithibai has been converted into one of the best labs around.

That's smart! But, are the two college related in any way? Yes, the two come from the same trust, Kelvani Mandal. In fact, even NMIMS belongs to the same trust.

So, does that benefit the college in any way? Mithibai is the only college with two libraries, one for the main wing, while the other's for the commerce wing. This itself speaks for the vast volume of books and journals available in these libraries.
