Who may need to visit
The main campus may be relevant if you have a specific university destination, such as the Central Library, a postgraduate department, Pharmacy, Gandhi Bhavan or the Computer Centre. Use the campus map to identify the location you need rather than assuming all destinations are in the same building.
If your plans involve the Salt Lake campus, note that it is a separate location from the main campus at Jadavpur. Check which campus your appointment or other university business is at before setting out.

Campus entry rules can affect whether and how you may enter, so check the official site before you go. Do not assume that a campus is open for general access or use as a public route.
