If you are travelling with light luggage, you can take a city bus to IIT.

The bus stop is right opposite the Central Station.

You could use the subway to cross the road which is perpetually busy.

Your options are:

• The direct buses to the campus are 19B and 5C. If you take any of them, get
down at Gandhi Mandapam or CLRI, which is at walking distance from the IIT main gate.


• You can also take any bus to Saidapet and from there, any bus heading for Adyar or Besant Nagar Adyar (5B, 47, 47A, 47D, 23C etc.) which will drop you right in front of the IIT gate, on the opposite side.

• You could also take any bus to Adyar; there are frequent buses from Adyar Signal to the campus.
