Who We Are

Managed by the
Society of Jesus

St. Xavier's Technical Institute (X-TECH) is proudly managed by The Society of Jesus — The Jesuits, a religious order of the Catholic Church founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius of Loyola. For over 450 years, Jesuit education has shaped leaders, thinkers, and change-makers across every continent.

"The aim of the Institute is to develop men and women who are not just top quality engineers but also well-developed persons. Our motto therefore is The Joy of Excellence in a World of High Technology."

Started in 1937 at the premises of St. Xavier's College, Fort, Mumbai, X-TECH was transferred to its own building in Mahim in June 1967. Today, it stands as a premier autonomous technical institution — affiliated to MSBTE, approved by AICTE and DTE, and accorded Minority Status by the Government of Maharashtra.

The institute is part of an international network of over 3,700 Jesuit educational institutions spanning 38+ universities worldwide, united by a shared commitment to academic excellence, ethical leadership, and service to humanity.
