Hostels are Sea Green and Sky Blue in colour (Marine life because it is Odisha, finding memo)
Library is a white building with rainbow pillars and blue stripes (Snoopy with rainbow stripes)
Administrative block is orange-yellow (Garfield)
Pura campus colourful hai :)

6. MNLU, Nagpur

This list is formed on the basis of staring at campus pics of all NLUs for several minutes :)
No point mentioning the ugliest since some of them doesn't even have a campus to begin with.

NALSAR: A safe, sober design with safe, sober colours. Also looks more modern than NLSIU.
NLUD: Should have been better designed. A concrete jungle, as someone said.
NUJS: Ridiculous. The quad and pillar take up so much space in a small campus. Should have just been a ten-storeyed boxy building, given the space constraints.
GNLU: Fugly. Just grey concrete. It actually looks like those big-ass Soviet and Nazi buildings.
NLIU and NLUJ: Keep confusing the two, lolz. One looks like a typical sarkari building and one looks like a Lego contraption built by a 4-year old who had too much sugar for breakfast.
CNLU: Looks like a cheap Bhojpuri film set replica of a royal palace. Can imagine Ravi Kishen dancing Naatu Naatu in front of it.
- IISC Bangalore
- St Xavier's College Mumbai
- Calcutta University
- Bombay University
- King George’s Medical University, Lucknow

- Ferguson College Pune
- IIT Kharagpur main building (then known as Hijli prison camp)
etc etc
I don't think the steel bird's next design of the Jindal campus is very attractive, but he was probably asked to do it, since Jindal Steel must have supplied it for free.
NLU J = beautiful
NLSIU = 7/10 = weird geometrical shapes
NLUD =7/10 = congested, given the space constraint in delhi, good try
CNLU =7/10 = weird choice of colours, will never understand those arabic domes on top of every building
NLUO = 8/10 = love, campus radiates abundance and freedom, but 5 or 6/10, could have done much better
DSNLU = beautiful overall structure, some uncle from 60s chose the building colours?
NLU KOCHI = beautiful, just like any other place in kerala, but please know there exist colours other than brick red?
NLU SHIMLA = 7/10 = monotonous, looks like someone built them with legos, but cute and simple
TN NLU = broken buildings, area wise TINY, more or less organised but UGLY
GNLU = gothic colours and ISRO + roman colosseum vibes
aesthetic wise
DSNLU > GNLU > HP NLU > KOCHI NLU and NLU O > RML NLU

unlike most nlus which are all pretty much new buildings of the last 10-30 years, the mayurbhanj complex is atleast a century old, if not older. it also use to house, iim shillong and the north eastern hill university (nehu).
it'll be disappointing when the nlu shifts to its new greenfield township in shilong, situated in 65 acre campus in the next few years, where all infra development lately such as the iim, have all been none but fabricated glass and steel facade.
Most attractive university buildings in India were actually those built by the British, such as IISC and Roorkee.
