The two closest Mumbai Suburban Railway stations are the Central line stops Kanjurmarg and Vikhroli. The four main entrances to campus are the Main Gate, the Middle Gate(Closed recently due to security reasons), the Y-Point Gate and the lake side gate. Main Gate remains open 24 hrs while Y gate serves the purpose only between 07:00 am to 12:00 pm
Due partly to the monsoons and partly to the fact that the campus abuts the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, the campus is extremely green. The proximity of the national park has also led to occasional excitement in the form of panther sightings.
There are 13 Student Hostel (11 Boys hostel & 2 Girls hostel), Tansa House & Staff Hostel (for unmarried & married Research Scholars resp.), & a lot of residential apartments for Faculty & staff.
