Life in Bhopal

The Bhopal center is one of the latest additions to the existing countrywide gamut of NIFT. IT started functioning from June 2008, from its transit campus situated in Bhoj (Open) University, Kolar Road, in the heart of Bhopal city.

The present campus is located within 5 KM from Habibganj railway station, 13 KM from Bhopal railway station and 19 KM from Raja Bhoj airport, Bhopal. IT is well connected to every part of the city through city bus and autorikshaws, apart from the student bus of the institute. Security is of prime importance in the institute, which is also a strictly non smoking zone.

The entrance of the campus is heavily surrounded by trees and plantations maintained by government authorities, which protect it from the air and noise pollution of the city. The 'Kaliya Sot' dam is located at the rear end of the campus and the Kolar river, a tributary of Narmada, flows alongside the campus. All these together make up the delicate picturesque beauty of the campus. The university also has campus in Bhubaneswar, Jodhpur, Kannur, Navi Mumbai, Kolkata, Kangra, Raebareli, Patna, Shillong and Delhi
