The Salt Lake City Campus is a newer campus and was setup after it was felt that the space on the main campus was insufficient to meet the demands of setting up departments for emerging fields of study.

It is a 28 acre campus in LB block, Salt Lake just off the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass near the Chingrighata crossing.

It is surrounded by many renowned educational institutes like The West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences, National Institute of Fashion Technology, Kolkata and Government college of Engineering and leather technology along with the Headquarters of the West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited.

Five engineering departments operate out of the campus — Information Technology, Instrumentation and Electronics Engineering, Printing Engineering, Construction Engineering and Power Engineering.

It also houses the School of Mobile Computing and Communication, a Library, the administrative block ( KMR ) and a hostel complex for out-station students.

The main ground at the Salt Lake campus has been leased out to the Cricket Association of Bengal and it often plays host to inter-and intrastate cricket matches.
