METROS

These cities have a cosmopolitan culture, with multi-cuisine restaurants, large shopping malls, pubs, nightclubs and have varied public transportation like rail, bus, taxi and three wheeler “rickshaws”. All the modern conveniences are available and off campus housing ranges from the budget to the luxurious and is easily available. These cities are well connected to India by air, rail and road and have good connectivity to the rest of the world. Examples of metros include Mumbai (Bombay), Bangalore, National Capital Region (New Delhi) and Chennai (Madras).
