DRIVING DIRECTIONS

 

How to reach IISC from the Airport/ Railway station / Majestic?

Bangalore is connected by air, rail and road to all the metropolises and most major cities of the country. Now you can fly direct to Bangalore from several  international airports as well. The Institute is known as "Tata Institute" to the locals. It is better to use the name "Tata Institute" with the taxi, auto-rickshaw drivers, and bus conductors. The institute is located between Malleswaram and Yeswantpura.

Reaching IISc from the Airport:

Prepaid taxi service is available from the airport. The fare to IISc would be approximately INR 600.
You can pre-book a taxi from either Fast Track (+91 80 2888 9999), Meru Cabs (4422 4422) or EasyCabs (43434343).

Please be advised:

  • Taxis belonging to a particular company are lined up at specific locations at the airport. Make sure you avail them from these locations only. Some arbritrary persons might offer you "Airport Taxi"s. Ignore them.
  • Make sure that the taxi will charge you according to the meter, and not some predefined rate chart.
Shuttle bus services are available from the airport. The A/C bus fare is around INR 150. The bus BIAS-11 comes directly to the IISc ATM Gate from the Airport. Alternately, you can take buses to either Mekhri Circle or Malleshwaram. IISc is around 2 kilometer from these bus stops and you may take an auto to reach IISc. The fare for the auto would be around INR 30-40.

Reaching IISc from the City Railway Station / Majestic Bus Stand:

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) are opposite to each other. Pre-paid taxi and auto-rickshaw facility is available at the Bangalore City Railway Station, near platform number 1. You could tell the person at the counter that you are travelling to Tata Institute. A trip to IISc may cost about INR 60 by auto. Travel by auto-rickshaws between 22:00 hours and 06:00 hours will cost 50% more. You can also use the bus services from platform Number 22 of Majestic bus station:
Bus Route nos. 252 E, 258 C, 271 E, 273 C, 275, 99 A and B. Alight at TATA INSTITUTE Bus Stop.

You can also avail the air-conditioned buses at Majestic. The AC Bus service is called "Vajra". You can ask around for the Vajra Platform, and then avail the AC buses to either Yeshwantpur or Mekhri Circle. However, the number of AC buses along this route is low.

Reaching IISc from Cantontment Railway Station:

Another important railway station in Bangalore is Cantontment Railway Station, also known as Bangalore Cantt. The distance from this station to IISc is almost same as the Bangalore City railway station and 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.

Reaching IISc from Yeshwanthpur Railway Station:

Yeshwanthpur is another important railway station in Bangalore. Yeshwanthpur is very close to IISc. The auto fare doesn't have a tight upper bound, unfortunately. Generally, they charge between Rs 50 - Rs 80.

Bus stops near IISc:

If you go to the city and wish to take a bus back to IISc, you will have to move past  Malleswaram 18th cross bus stand  towards Yeshwantpura  in order to return back to IISc. There is also a bus stop on the highway between the yellow over bridge and Prof. CNR Rao Circle, and another one at Prof.CNR Rao circle (on Sir CV Raman Road ). Finally there is a bus stop at Yeshwantpura tollgate, just off campus near R block. Most buses go to one of these places.
