Bhubaneswar is well connected by Airways and Railways.And i guess most of you would have booked your tickets by now.Anyways considering feasibility and demand we are going have help desks and bus services in the Railway Station only.

Help Desk Dates:15th,16th,19th,20th,21st,22nd July 2009

Tentative Timings: 0300 hrs to 2100 hrs

IIT Bhubaneswar officials will be there to help you out and ferry you off to the hostel.On reaching the hostels kindly go to the Hostel office(tentatively at Balmiki-2 Flat No.-103) and submit your filled Hostel Proforma and complete the necessary procedure and take over your keys to your room.Feel free to ask any queries to any of the officials and student representatives.

In case you arrive at an odd time, when there is no help desk no need to panic.Follow the instructions below:

For Railway Station: You may go to the auto stand or the taxi stand and ask them to take you to the hostel address.Don't pay more than Rs 50-70 for autos and Rs100-150 for taxi(bargain for better deals).Though i would recommend autos they are easily available quick and competitive.

For Airport: There is a good enough taxi stand there with a taxi union having fixed rates/prepaid taxi service to drop off at any location in Bhubaneswar.

We will try to inform the taxi and auto unions of the IIT Bhubaneswar hostel still write down the following address of the hostel in a piece of paper accurately.

DEVASHRAM,SBI COLONY

KESHURA,JHARPADA

BHUBANESWAR

Landmarks and Keywords to identify the area…..Jharpada Jail,Ganesh Mandap

Here is a rough not to scale map from Railway Station to Hostel(courtesy Google Maps):

If you arrive on the Registration Date and within 1-2 hrs of registration timing i.e. say about 2 hrs before 09:00 am something around after 07:00 am then it would be advisable to directly come to the IIT Bhubaneswar Campus.You can go to the hostel after registration.

If you by mistake get lost or something feel free to contact me and my friends anytime day and night.We shall be happy to help you out:
