The aim of this study is to classify and compare between soil samples from two areas of NIT Rourkela campus using plasticity tests. The two areas chosen are- (i) area near site of Vikram Sarabhai Hall of Residence and (ii) area near site of new Lecture Complex building. Along with plasticity tests other tests such as specific gravity test and soil gradation test were also done to find respective geotechnical properties. On the basis of these experiments the conclusions are drawn
