6 Reasons why NITIE campus is indeed the God’s own campus

CAT Study Planner

So what makes the NITIE Campus so unique? Here are six unique highlights that you would find in NITIE that I bet no B school campus can offer.

1. Two huge lakes, a Pond and a Forest for a setting

The majestic Vihar lake with the Sanjay Gandhi National Park in the background stands as an epitome of tranquillity whereas the Powai lake with the Hiranandani Skyscrapers in its backdrop serves as a perfect date spot for the urban young.

And not to forget the most favourite hang-out place of every NITIEzen, our very own pond aka Sarovar. We can promise you that several successful entrepreneurs or managers have found their inspiring big idea during one of their late night strolls around the pond. If not a million dollar idea, the romantic in you can always find a potential life partner. That’s no less isn’t it?

2. Late night Leopards

When we say life at NITIE can sometimes become a safari, we mean it. Some campuses have friendly deers, some have pestering monkeys but very rarely does a campus have the reputation of having real predators like Leopards.

The stories about the sightings of leopards especially near the Anand Path are legendary. Though most of the campus is fenced now, there are still those lucky few who have spotted them and have made indelible memories of secretly gaping at their sheer beauty and have lived to tell the tale. Game enough?

3. Crocodiles in NITIE Sarovar

For those who are bored of petting campus pet dogs and are fed up of feeding the domestic cats, the NITIE pond offers you something exciting. Introducing our very own Campus Croc, our beloved reptile which makes its appearance once in a while during monsoons midst cheerful welcomes and of course alarming screams.

Imagine peeping out of your hostel window while busy studying for mod exams only to find this beast popping its head out of the generally placid pond.

4. 96 Steps – Stairway to Wisdom

Every College has a trekking club, that’s plain vanilla. But everyday life in NITIE involves a min-trek up the academic hill. The 96 steps embellished with creepers all around ensure that the procrastinator in us still gets his daily dose of exercise. So the next time when you find a NITIE team winning a sport fest or a marathon, you know the secret behind it. Stairway to wisdom.. Ahem also to fitness!!

5. Rare variety of Snakes

Talking about reptiles like Crocs, how can one forget their slithering counterparts? The God’s own campus is home to a variety of snakes like cobras and pythons. The security guards are usually on high alert to keep them from disturbing the students. But I am sure the adventurer in you would say, “we ain’t complaining, show us the black mamba”

6. Skyscraper Hostel

So is NITIE campus just about all the greenery, the water bodies and the wildlife it inhabits? Is it just an idyllic village- the exact opposite of the bustling city that it is located in?

Behold, the 15 floor skyscraper hostel (taylor hall) in NITIE squashes all the above claims. Quaintly embracing the skyscraper culture of Mumbai, this behemoth of a building is the tallest B-School hostel in India. We said it is an urban experience in nature’s cradle, didn’t we?
