How to get to IITB
|

IIT Bombay is located at Powai, which is an eastern suburb in the north-eastern
part of Mumbai.
|
|
|
|
Mumbai is in the form of a long narrow island, almost a peninsula, thrusting southwards into the
|
|
Arabian Sea. It can be broadly divided into four zones.
|
|
|
|
South Bombay (Colaba, CST, Fort, Churchgate, Nariman Point, etc.)
|
|
Central Bombay (Dadar, Bombay Central, Worli, etc)
|
|
Central Bombay (Dadar, Bombay Central, Worli, etc)

The Eastern Suburbs (Kurla, Chembur, Ghatkopar, Mulund, Kanjur Marg, Vikhroli, etc.) |
|
|
|
There is also New Bombay (Vashi, Turbhe, etc.) across Thane Creek on the mainland.

Public Transport |
|
|
|
Mumbai has one of the most efficient and reliable public transport networks. One
can travel by
|
|
autorickshaws / taxis to reach IIT from the nearest stations (autorickshaws, however,
do not go further
|
|
south than Sion and Bandra). For longer distance, you can use either the BEST bus
network or the
|
|
Mumbai local train system.
|
|
|
|
Suburban Railway Transport
|
|
|
|
Those coming by Central Railway Suburban train will have to get down at Kanjur Marg,
Vikhroli, or
|
|
Ghatkopar, which are the nearest stations from IITB. If you are coming by the Western
Railway Suburban
|
|
train, you will have to get down at Andheri, Bandra, Goregoan or Malad. We give below
the road network
|
|
to reach IITB, along with the approximate bus / autorickshaw / taxi fare.
