🚉 From Major Railway Stations

Here are common railway arrival points and how to reach IIT Delhi from each:

Railway Station Route to IIT Delhi

New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS)

Use the metro: from New Delhi station (on Yellow Line) take Yellow Line train towards HUDA City Centre → get down at Hauz Khas Metro Station → take an auto-rickshaw / e-rickshaw (~₹ 50–70) to IIT Delhi campus. (IIT Delhi Library)

Old Delhi Railway Station / Delhi Junction

Walk to nearby metro station (Chandni Chowk) → Yellow Line → Hauz Khas → auto-rickshaw to campus. (Leanpub)

Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station (NZM)

Since direct metro access is limited, recommended to book a prepaid taxi / app-cab to campus. (IIT Delhi Library)

• By road (taxi / auto) — outside main railway stations you’ll find prepaid taxi / auto-rickshaw counters, handy if you have heavy baggage or travel groups. (IIT Delhi Library)
  
  

• Approximate distances (road): IIT Delhi is ~14–15 km from NDLS. (IIT Delhi Library)
  
  

✅ Good for: Visitors arriving by train, with moderate luggage, and wanting cost-effective transport.

Tips for Conference Visitors

• If arriving by flight, using Metro (Magenta Line → IIT Delhi station) is usually fastest and hassle-free, especially with light/medium luggage.
  
  

• If you arrive late, with heavy luggage or in a small group, prepaid taxi or app-based cab from airport or station may be more convenient — though slightly expensive.
  
  

• Save the metro map and campus gate map (from IIT Delhi visitor-info) beforehand — will help especially if you arrive around peak hours or during heavy traffic.
  
  

Allow some buffer time if arriving during peak hours (morning/evening), as metro or road traffic might be crowded.
