You can reach Chennai either by air or by train. The IIT Madras campus is located on the Sardar Patel Road, half-way between the Raj Bhavan and the Adyar bus terminus, i.e. about 12 kms from Chennai Central. The other landmarks are the Guindy Snake Park adjacent to the IIT main gate and the Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) campus lying opposite to ours. The travel time from the airport, railway stations or Koyambedu bus terminus is approximately 45mins.

From Airport

If you arrive at the Chennai International Airport (MAA), you can make your way to the Institute in a Pre-paid Taxis, Ola, or Uber from the airport to inside the campus Or take a bus, PP21. You can travel from Chennai Airport to any destination within the city via the following options. Chennai airport has three main terminals, Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 are international and Terminal 1 is domestic.

• Pre-paid taxis: There are prepaid taxi booths inside the airport located in the Arrivals hall, where you can book and pay for the ride. Once you have your ticket, you can board a taxi. Taxis are available outside the arrivals area. The rates are fixed, so the taxi driver can neither refuse your ride, nor can overcharge you. Estimated fares from Chennai Airport taxi to the city centre are from INR 350 to 500. Some of the following companies serve Chennai Airport Taxi and surroundings: - Fast Track: +91 44 2888 9999 - Aviation Express Taxis: +91 44 2256 2193 - City taxi: +91 82972 82979 - Meru Cabs: +91 44 4422 4422
• Uber/Ola: Uber works as expected in Chennai and Ola is another taxi aggregator service in India just like Uber. Both Uber and Ola offer airport transfers in a variety of sizes of cars. They can be booked the usual way, from your phone. However, Chennai Airport, also offers passengers the option to book a taxi without the application.
• Chennai Airport Metro: Chennai Airport is linked to the metro system through a free shuttle bus. You can get the Inter Terminal Shuttle Service outside arrivals area and get to the Chennai Airport Metro Station. At metro station take the blue line to reach Guindy (nearest metro station from IIT Madras). From Guidndy you can either take a public service transport (Bus no. 119) from Guindy Bus Terminal or book a cab or taxi to reach IITM.

You can get a train every 20 minutes on weekdays during 4:20 am to 10:30 pm and every 30 minutes on weekends during 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. On reaching Kasturibai Nagar, get down and ask for Sardar Patel Road or IIT Madras.
