Malini Kishor Sanghvi College of Commerce and Economics, known as MKS College, is a well-known name in Mumbai’s education landscape. Established in 1994 under the guidance of the socio-educational trust Ritambhara Vishva Vidyapeeth, the college was created with a clear purpose—to offer quality education while helping students grow not just academically, but also personally and ethically. What started as a small institution with a limited number of students has today grown into a lively academic community with thousands of learners from diverse backgrounds, all sharing a common goal of learning and self-development. MKS College believes that education is more than just earning a degree. It is about building confidence, shaping character, encouraging creativity, and preparing students to face real world challenges. The college focuses on nurturing future professionals, entrepreneurs, and responsible citizens who are ready to contribute positively to society. This belief reflects in every academic program, student activity, and initiative taken by the institution.

The journey of MKS College began with the vision of committed educationists and philanthropists who wanted to strengthen commerce education in Mumbai.

With the support of Ritambhara Vishva Vidyapeeth, the college was built on strong values such as honesty, inclusiveness, and excellence.

From the very beginning, the focus has been on providing students with the right guidance, personal attention, and opportunities to grow.

The leadership of the college—including President Shri Ashwinbhai Mehta, Chairperson Padma Bhushan Smt. Poornimaben Pakvasa, and Managing Trustee Shri Kishorbhai Sanghvi—has played a key role in shaping its journey.

Their vision and dedication have helped the college remain student-centric, ensuring that quality education is accessible to deserving students, regardless of their background.

MKS College is affiliated with the University of Mumbai, following its academic framework while continuously updating teaching methods to meet modern needs.

The college has also been accredited with an ‘A’ Grade by NAAC in third cycle with a score of 3.05, which reflects its commitment to maintaining high academic standards, effective administration, and overall student development.

The college offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs that cater to different interests and career goals. Along with the traditional Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) program, students can choose from professional and specialized courses such as BMS AICTE, BAF, BBI, BFM, BMM, B.Sc. (IT), and M.Com.

These programs are designed to give students both subject knowledge and practical exposure.

The teaching approach at MKS focuses on blending classroom learning with real-life applications.

Whether it is commerce, management, media, or technology, students are encouraged to think critically, work ethically, and adapt to changing industry trends.

One of the biggest strengths of MKS College is its dedicated and experienced faculty. The teaching team includes academic experts and industry professionals who bring real-world insights into the classroom.
