Directions


The Institute is located on a side road off Rajiv Gandhi Salai (a.k.a. Old Mahabalipuram Road a.k.a. OMR). If approaching from the south (Tidel Park / SRP Tools / beyond), after passing Tidel Park / Thiruvanmiyur MRTS station, take the SECOND left (immediately after a traffic light, at a foot overbridge, just before the Indira Nagar MRTS station), and go about 100 metres down. The main campus is on your left, the guest house complex on the right. If approaching from the north (Sardar Patel Road / Adyar / Guindy etc), turn onto OMR, go 1 km down, take a U-turn at the signal (just after the foot overbridge at Indira Nagar MRTS), and after the U-turn, immediately turn left.

FROM AIRPORT: Pre-paid taxis are available (government counter). The booking counter will not know the institute: the landmarks are "next to MGR film institute", "near women's polytechnique", "near Indira Nagar MRTS", and you may have to guide the driver. Ola and Uber are also available, and the mobile app shows suitable pickup points, and you can select the institute as the destination.

FROM CENTRAL STATION: Pre-paid and app-based taxis as above, but you can also take the MRTS train from the Park Town station across the road from Central, in the Velachery direction, and get off at Indira Nagar. The institute is a short walk away.

VENUE: Chandrasekhar Hall, first floor of main building. Enter the portico in the picture below, take the stairs immediately behind the reception. The door will be on your left near a bust of S Chandrasekhar.
