How to Reach Kolkata ISI

The Kolkata campus of the Indian Statistical Institute is located in a sprawling 30-acre estate
on the Barrackpore Trunk Road (B.T. Road) in the Baranagore suburb of Greater Kolkata. It
consists of two approximately equal parts - the office complex and the residential complex, -
separated by a public road. This road (Girish Chand Ghosh Street) connects B.T. Road with
Gopal Lal Tagore Road, a road which runs along the western boundary of the main campus.
The office complex bears door numbers 202, 203 and 204, and the residential complex, 205
and 206. There is no connection between the two parts of the campus; to move between the
residential and office complexes, one has to come out on B.T. Road and enter the other campus.
There is also a narrow public road that separates 202 and 203 B.T. Road. There is however, a
direct connection between these two premises.

The ISI campus lies five kilometers North of the Shyambazar five-point crossing. If you are
coming from the airport, drive towards Dunlop Bridge (via Nager Bazar and Chiria More). If
you are coming from the downtown area or one of the railway stations, you will have to drive
past Shyambazar and Chiria More. As you approach Dunlop Bridge, the boundary wall of the
ISI campus will be visible on your left. The residential campus is at the Bus Stop called Bon
Hooghly and the office campus is at the Bus Stop called ISI or Statistical. The Bus Stop further
to the Statistical Bus Stop is Dunlop Bridge, which is an important landmark. Dunlop Bridge
is also a useful way of describing the general destination when you are asking for directions.

If you miss the ISI gates and reach the Dunlop Bridge intersection, take a sharp left trun into
Gopal Lal Tagore Road. The ISI campus will be on your left. The first entrance on your left
leads you straight into the Library Building.

Direction

The ISI campus lies five kilometers North of the Shyambazar five-point crossing. If you are
coming from the airport, drive towards Dunlop Bridge (via Nager Bazar and Chiria More). If
you are coming from the downtown area or one of the railway stations, you will have to drive
past Shyambazar and Chiria More. As you approach Dunlop Bridge, the boundary wall of the

to the Statistical Bus Stop is Dunlop Bridge, which is an important landmark. Dunlop Bridge
is also a useful way of describing the general destination when you are asking for directions.

If you miss the ISI gates and reach the Dunlop Bridge intersection, take a sharp left trun into
Gopal Lal Tagore Road. The ISI campus will be on your left. The first entrance on your left
leads you straight into the Library Building.

Taxi
If you are coming from the airport or one of the railway stations, it is better to hire a taxi from
the prepaid taxi booth. The prepaid taxi fare is marginally higher than normal, but it is a surer
and safer mode of transport. While hiring a prepaid taxi, mention Dunlop Bridge as your
destination.
Taxis in Kolkata bear either manual or electronic fare meters . At present, the actual fare is
triple of the amount shown in manual meters and 1.5 times shown in electronic meter. The taxi
driver is supposed to carry a conversion chart with the validation date clearly marked on it.
Some taxis have electronic meters which show the actual fare.

Buses
There are a large number of buses and minibuses that pass by the Institute campus. Almost any
bus that goes to Dunlop Bridge passes by the ISI gates. The buses that pass by the ISI gates are
11, 32A, 34B/1, 78, 78/1, 78A, 78B, 78C, 201, 214, 230, 234, DN9, DN9/1, L9A, L11, L20,
L20A, M1, M2, M6, S9, S11, S32 and SS4. The minibuses plying from Howrah to
Nimta/Belgharia/Rathtala, from BBD Bag to DunlopBridge, from Babughat to Sodepur/New
Barrackpore and from Metiaburuj to Srirampur go past the ISI gates before reaching Dunlop
Bridge. While riding the bus from the city, the major bus stops on your way (from South to
North) would be Shyambazar, Chiria More, Sinthi More and Tobin Road. The Bon Hooghly
Bus Stop is just North of the Bus Stop at Ananya Cinema. This is where you have to get down
in order to enter the residential campus. The next Bus Stop is ISI/Statistical, which is located
just outside the entrance of the main office campus at 204, B.T. Road.
How to Reach Delhi ISI
ISI is close to two wellknown landmarks: Qutab Hotel (ISI is about 300 meters away from the
Qutab Hotel) or Katwaria Sarai (which is the locality where ISI belongs and the Katwaria Sarai
bus stop is directly opposite to the institute). While booking an auto or a taxi to the institute,
mention these two names in case the person concerned is unaware of ISI. Also, to disambiguate
with a couple of other organizations having the same acronym, it is always advised to expand
out the name of the institute. For the exact location find ISI on Google map here. ISI Delhi is
also connected by Metro Line. The closest station is “HAUZ KHAS” (about 2.5 KM from ISI
Delhi. The usual fare in an auto-rickshaw (‘tuk-tuk’) is Rs 40-50). Here is a map of Delhi
Metro: Delhi Metro Map – Hauz Khas station is on the Yellow Line of this map. The official
