Other institutions in the localities file
The localities file also names two institutions in Kherwadi, Bandra East: Kaiser Jr College and Raheja College of Architecture. These appear as landmarks only, so we state no board, courses or affiliation for them. Apostolic Carmel High School and Junior College in Bandra West, covered in the schools list, also runs a junior college section.
If your priority is higher education for a young adult, the corporate and institutional mix of BKC and Bandra East is also worth a look on commute grounds, since many students travel across Mumbai by train and metro.
How to find more colleges near a project
Because the verified list is short, build your own shortlist in three steps. This takes less time than it sounds and avoids relying on a single portal.
- Start with the University of Mumbai's list of affiliated colleges and filter by area.
- Cross-check each college on its own site for courses, fees, and admission cut-offs.
- Test the real commute from the project you are considering, at the time a student would travel.
- Remember that Bandra, Khar, Santacruz and Kurla all connect by rail and road, so useful colleges may be a short ride outside Bandra.
Commute matters more than distance
Colleges draw students from across the western suburbs, so a flat near a campus is rarely essential. Bandra station on the Western and Harbour lines and the metro network make most of Mumbai reachable, and the localities file lists Metro Line 3 stations at Bandra Colony and BKC.
If a family member will study at one of the colleges above, test the real journey at peak hours before you finalise a project. Our 105 tracked projects are spread across 13 localities, so there is usually a pocket that balances college access with your own work commute.
