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

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.

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
