In 1948 after the partition, a small group of teachers who hailed from D J Sind College in Karachi and were displaced because of the partition came together with a vision the educational rehabilitation of the Sindhi community. And so Jai Hind college was born. They didn't even have a place initially to start a college and conducted classes at Elphinstone College. From this humble beginning, Jai Hind college has now blossomed into one of the premier educational institutions in Mumbai. Jai Hind College is located at Churchgate just near the railway station and thus it is easily accessible even for students living in the suburbs. The college is affiliated to the University of Mumbai. It offers courses in arts, science and commerce at the junior college level and at the degree college level, along with BMS, BMM and BBI. For Science students, there are vocational courses in Computer Science, Electronics and Biotechnology. The college is well known for its faculty of eminent teachers.

The college boasts of good infrastructure with a spacious air-conditioned auditorium, a state of the art audiovisual center, an air-conditioned and computerized library, a computer center, a gymkhana and an open air canteen. A counselling center and a special counseling unit for students who wish to pursue education abroad are special facilities provided. Jai Hind College has a tradition of academic excellence but it is also famous for extra curricular activities. There is a Literary and Debating Society, which has activities like elocution and debating competitions and the annual staff v/s students debate and book exhibition. The Social and Dramatic Union has activities like the famous Talent Parade, Inter Class Drama competitions, College Day, etc. The activities held by the Hobby Centre are Personality Contests, The Annual Bazaar Day and workshops for calligraphy, cookery and creative writing. There is also a Rotaract Club of Jai Hind College. An annual magazine “Saraswati” is published. Year after year, Jai Hind students win laurels for their college in many inter collegiate competitions. This year, the Jai Hind contingent won Malhar.

The college students live by the motto- “We can and we will”.

Jai Hind college besides providing good quality education is considered to be a fun and 'happening' college to be in.
