  • Estimated Fare: A private taxi from Trivandrum International Airport directly to the Karungal campus costs between ₹1,500 and ₹2,400. Using public transport buses keeps the total travel expense under ₹100 per person.

Local Taxi / Auto

  • Taxi / Auto Availability: Traditional three-wheeled auto-rickshaws and local call-taxis are readily available at Karungal Bus Stand, Marthandam Bus Stand, and Nagercoil Vadasery Bus Stand. App-based taxi aggregators (such as Uber or Ola) have limited coverage in this pocket, so relying on TNSTC town buses and local auto-rickshaws is recommended on exam morning.
  • Local Transport: Since the institution is situated at Nadutheri, Karungal (approx. 23 km from Nagercoil), the most direct route on exam day is to reach Karungal Bus Stand via TNSTC local bus from Nagercoil, Marthandam, or Eraniel, and then take a 3-minute auto ride or short walk (1 km) directly to the Bethlahem Institute of Engineering campus gates.
