Reaching the Venue

The venue, IITM IC&SR is right next to the “Gajendra Circle (GC for short)”, an important landmark within IITM. The distance from IITM front gate to GC is pretty huge. If you are booking a cab / auto you might want to drop off at GC, rather than at the IITM front gate. There are IITM buses at regular intervals from the front gate to GC.

If you are not familiar with IITM, then entering the campus from the front gate is the easiest way to locate the venue. You can call us at the following phone nos., in case you get stuck.
