How To Reach
Access by Train
K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering is located very
near to Vidyavihar railway station which comes on the
Central Railway track, between Kurla and Ghatkopar. If
you are planning to come from the Western Railway side,
you can change from the Western Railway to the Central
Railway at Dadar station, and catch a slow local train
from platform no. 1. Please do not catch the train whose
final destination is Kurla. Those trains terminate at
Kurla and you will not be able to come to
Vidyavihar.
If you are coming from the suburban side of Mumbai
from the Central Railway, then please note that the
trains are usually crowded in the mornings during
weekdays for arrival. Please board the 'slow' trains
whose destinations are Dadar or CST.
Please get down from the eastern side of the
platform.
The average time period between two consecutive
trains in the central side is approximately 7 minutes.
However if the trains are late, then the next train to
arrive may take a long time. It takes a minimum of
fifteen minutes by walking from the Vidyavihar railway
station to the college. Auto-rickshaws (3 seater
vehicles) are available for hire outside the Vidyavihar
station, and they take you to the outside of the Somaiya
Vidyanagar campus.
Access by BEST
You can come to KJSCE by using the BEST buses. The
following buses come to Vidyavihar on the eastern
side. 385 - (Mumbai Central bus depot to Ghatkopar
Bus Depot) 353 - (Wadala Depot to Tagore
Nagar) 399 - (Marathon Chowk(Thane) to Anushakti
Nagar(Chembur)) The campus entrance is just behind
the BEST bus stop. The name of the stop is Somaiya.
The following buses come to Vidyavihar from the
western side and the final bus stop, where you also have
to alight, is at the Vidyavihar station (West)

Parle)
323 - (starts

433 - (starts from Santacruz-E)
308 - (starts from Majas Depot)

You can come to KJSCE from there by
crossing the overhead pedestrian bridge that goes above
the railway tracks and come to the eastern side. From
there take the same path as described in `How to come by
train' section.
Access by Road
While coming from the Eastern Express highway, take a
turn at the Amar-Mahal Signal towards Ghatkopar. (When
coming from Thane do not take the bridge after Vashi
cross road instead turn right underneath the bridge at
the Amar-Mahal signal. If coming from Dadar side, after
crossing Kurla signal take the next bridge and keep
left. Do not take the bridge that starts atop this
bridge on the right. Instead climb down and take left at
the signal towards Ghatkopar.)
Then take a left just after the second signal which
will get you to the Somaiya Campus.
