Situated atop a very scenic hillock, the campus offers plenty of beautiful spaces for students to take part in a whole range of sporting activities. The scenic, slightly winding road down the hill to the institute gates, for example, is used extensively for both jogging and walking by the students and faculty alike. One can in fact find students jogging down the well-lit roads even at 3am. Wide, open lawns and cleared spaces also provide excellent opportunities for impromptu games of badminton or football. Like the rest of India though, it is cricket that rules.

Each of the hostel blocks has a square in the center that has either a basketball court or a badminton courts or both. The well maintained turf are relaid frequently in consultation with experts, to provide the best and safest facilities for students to play on. The squares in the larger blocks can frequently be found entertaining games of cricket. Three of the hostel blocks have floodlights so that games of cricket, basketball or badminton can be found going on into the wee hours of the morning.

The institute takes great pride in its state of the art Gymnasium. The gym is equipped with most modern work out machines like exercise bike, rowing machine, stepper and multigym. Also, dumbbells and discs are available in all sizes to provide participants extensive free weight training. All the three types - Flat, Inclined and Declined - are available for the bench-press enthusiasts. The Gym floor features a layer of plywood and adds to the ambience of the Gym, making the workout a highly enjoyable and refreshing experience. A complete boxing kit consisting of punching bags and gloves adds another feather to the cap. The institute also employs the services of part-time yoga trainer and weight instructor. With the anticipated increase in the intake of particpants, another gym is being contructed n one of the new hostel blocks.
