railway stations between 1.00 AM and 4.00 AM, then local trains will not be available, hence you
may need to take an autorick or taxi directly to NITIE.

Landmarks:
NITIE is located in Vihar Lake, Mumbai. Powai is the closest well known location for drivers and
hence when you take auto/taxi, direct them to L&T Gate Number 2 at Powai. IIT Bombay (4 kms)
and Hotel Renaissance (1 km) are other landmarks close to NITIE. The autowalas generally tend to
take you IIT Bombay campus if they do not know NITIE. Hence, always come close to L&T Gate
Number 2 at Powai - but do not enter into the gate - and then ask someone for NITIE.
In short, wherever you hire an auto or Taxi, ask the driver for L&T at Powai and then upon
reaching Powai, ask someone for NITIE.
