By Air

Chennai is served by the Chennai International Airport (MAA), which has both domestic and international terminals.

From the Airport to IIT Madras:

  • Taxi: Prepaid and app-based taxi services like Uber and Ola are readily available at the airport. The drive to IIT Madras typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
  • Public Transport: The Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) buses and suburban trains are also available, though they may be less convenient if you’re traveling with luggage.

IIT Madras is centrally located in Chennai and is accessible by various modes of transport

  • Taxi/Auto-rickshaw:Easily accessible from anywhere in Chennai for convenient transport to IIT Madras.
  • Bus: Several MTC buses stop near the IIT Madras campus, with key stops being “Adyar Gate” and “CLRI.”
  • Metro: The nearest metro station is “Guindy.” From there, you can take a taxi or auto-rickshaw to reach IIT Madras.

  • Inside IIT Madras: After arriving at the main gate, you can use the campus shuttle service to get to your destination, such as the ICSR building. As the campus is vast and green, a campus map or guidance from the main gate security can be very helpful.
