LET’S HANGOUT

This part is for all of you out there who are in mood of bunking a few lectures to hangout with your friends, but don’t know where to go.

1.The Lake

One of the most scenic spots in the campus, with benches laid around the lake in the sets of three. The watchmen take rounds of the lake to avoid any mishap, so you can expect a little questioning.However,  your ID alone is enough to get rid of that. But don’t take undue advantage of that fact because in case of any misbehaviour, the watchmen have full authority to throw you out!

2.The Banyan tree

The large tree that you see as soon as you enter through the campus main gate is a great hangout spot too. This place is always lively with people all the time, so finding a place to sit on the bench may be difficult. But need not worry, the lush green grass surrounding the tree is quite comfortable to sit on.

3.The SPCE canteen garden

The garden opposite the SPCE canteen is a good place for a short duration. It’s a small area but it is the closest spot to the SPIT.

MUST-KNOW
