In India from the last past decades the number of educational campuses for higher education and their enrolment has witnessed a tremendous increase of 74 times with just 500 in 1950 growing to 37,204, as on 31st March, 2013 . These institutions are monitored and regulate by the various apex level bodies like AICTE, COA, CSSR, ICHR UGC etc. with focusing on the quality and improvement of educational system. It is very obvious that with the increase in educational campuses their will also be increase in built spaces and energies to fulfil the daily needs, operations in teaching and research thus completely relying on the environment for its survival and degrading the environment which is hardly seen and considered a matter of concern. Now, in order to ensure energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, these developments and activities need to be on green campus concepts (MNRE) . A green building depletes very little of the natural resources during its construction and operation. The aim of a green building design is to minimize the demand on non-renewable resources and maximize the utilization efficiency of these resources when in use and utilization of renewable resources. The aim of the paper is to examine the efficiency of existing building of SMVDU, Katra based on the criteria given by IGBC green campus for existing buildings and find ways on different category to achieve for highest recognition level of certification
