The university’s main campus (created in 1960) lies to the west of the Kukkarahalli Lake, while the university headquarters, Crawford Hall is situated to the east across the lake.

Students can study at one of 37 postgraduate departments, spanning five faculties: the faculty of arts, the faculty of science and technology, the faculty of commerce, the faculty of education and the faculty of law. Facilities include an amphitheatre, auditorium, swimming pool and a library, which holds over 800,000 books and 100,000 journal volumes. Located in the foothills of the Chamundi Hills, Mysore is 146km from the Karnataka state capital of Bangalore. It is spread across a 128.42km² area, with a population of about 890,000. Known for its striking building and palaces including the Mysore Palace, the city also welcomes many tourists from around the world for the Dasara Festival, a Hindu celebration to triumph the victory of good over evil.
