== Campus ==

The IIT Bombay campus, having an area of about 545 acres, is located at Powai, in East [[Mumbai]], between the [[Vihar Lake|Vihar]] and [[Powai Lake|Powai]] lakes. The campus is divided into clusters of buildings. The academic area chiefly comprises the main building, various departmental annexes and auditoria. All department annexes are connected by a corridor named ''Infinite Corridor''. Beyond the Convocation Hall lie most of the hostels. There are a total of 18 hostels, of which three hostels (Hostels 10, 11 and 15) and a wing of the newly constructed hostel (Hostel 16) are for female students.

Due to its proximity to the [[Sanjay Gandhi National Park]], the campus has significant green cover and is mostly untouched by the pollution of the rest of the city. The proximity of the campus to the national park has also led to occasional sightings of [[leopard]]s and [[mugger crocodile]]s along the banks of the Powai lake. Sometimes they stray into the campus in search of prey.<ref>{{cite news|title=After 4 days of manhunt, leopard leaves IIT Bombay Campus|url=http://news.biharprabha.com/2014/07/after-4-days-of-manhunt-leopard-leaves-iit-bombay-campus/|access-date=26 July 2014|agency=IANS|publisher=news.biharprabha.com|date=26 July 2014}}</ref>

The campus has also recorded over 200 species of birds including [[Indian grey hornbill]], [[Indian pitta]], [[Vigors's sunbird]], [[Ashy prinia]], [[Indian paradise flycatcher]], [[Rufous woodpecker]], and [[Oriental darter]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Illustrated Checklist - IIT Bombay, Mumbai Suburban County, MH, IN - eBird Hotspot|url=https://ebird.org/hotspot/L1190942/media|access-date=2022-02-18|website=ebird.org|language=en}}</ref>

The institute has two swimming pools; [[association football|football]], [[field hockey|hockey]] and [[cricket]] grounds; and [[lawn tennis|tennis]], [[basketball]], [[squash tennis|squash]] and [[volleyball]] courts. It also has a Students' Activity Center (SAC) for various cultural and other extracurricular activities. In addition to these facilities, the campus also houses two high schools, one of which is a [[KV IIT Powai|Kendriya Vidyalaya]] and the other is called IIT Campus School.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-07-13 |title=Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay |url=https://www.educationworld.in/indian-institute-of-technology-bombay/ |access-date=2023-08-28 |website=EducationWorld |language=en-US}}</ref>
