Directions to reach Conference Venue

J N Tata Auditorium, National Science Seminar Complex, Indian Institute of Science

From Bangalore International Airport (BIAL):

IISc is about 35kms from the airport. One could take either a prepaid taxi (the counter is

available near the exit of the Airport Building), or a city taxi (a queue is just outside the airport

building). The Institute is known as "Tata Institute" to the locals and is just past Mekhri circle

and on the way to Yeshwantpur (one must take a right turn at Mekhri circle). Shuttle bus

service, operated by Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), runs from the

airport to various areas in Bangalore city every 15 minutes.

Some of the basic taxi services available:

Meru: +91-80-44224422

EasyCab: +91-80-43434343

From Main Railway station:

The main railway station in Bangalore is called Bangalore City which is about 7 km from IISc.

The railway station and the main bus stand (called as Majestic and Kempegowda Bus station)

are opposite to each other. One will have to get out of the station from platform number ONE

and reach the prepaid taxi stand and hire a city taxi. Pre-paid auto rickshaw facility is available

at the Bangalore City Railway Station. You could tell the counterperson that you are travelling to

Tata Institute.

Travel by auto rickshaws between 10:00 p.m. and 06:00 a.m. will cost 1.5 times more. If one

happens to reach Majestic, Bangalore by bus, reach platform number 22 from where almost all

buses come to the Institute. You can also use the bus services from the Majestic bus station:

Bus Route nos. 252 E, 258 C, 271 E, 273 C, 275, 276, 99 A and 99 B. Alight at TATA

INSTITUTE Bus Stop.

From Yeswanthpur Railway Station:

Yeshwantpur is a small railway station, located within Bangalore, but it is NOT the main railway

station of Bangalore. One good thing about Yeshwantpur is that it is very close to IISc, but very

few trains stop here. The Yeshwantpura railway station is located at less than 2 km from the

institute campus. One can take a 'pre-paid' auto from the counter located outside the exit gate

of platform number 6. The landmark is CNR Rao Circle from where one would take the entry to

IISc. Though the prepaid contract says IISc (Tata Institute as more popularly known) gate as the

destination, the hostels and most of the academic departments are within 500 mts from the

gate, and hence the auto can be requested to drop at your destination.

From Cantonment Railway Station:

Another important railway station in Bangalore is Cantonment Railway Station (BNC). The

distance from this station to IISc is 6km. It also has prepaid auto rickshaw facility. You can also

use the bus services from the bus stop just opposite to the station. Route Nos. 94 A and E, 252

A, 270 A, 272, 276 A.
