Comprehensive location and transport guide
Nearest Airport
- Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International: The Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) is the primary airport and is quite close to this center, located about 8–10 km away. Depending on traffic, it usually takes 25 to 35 minutes to reach.
- How to reach: The most efficient way to travel from the airport is by booking an Ola or Uber. Alternatively, you can take a yellow taxi from the prepaid counter. If you are using public transport, you can take a bus towards Birati or Belgharia, though a direct cab or bike taxi (Rapido) is much faster for reaching the specific M.B. Road location.

- How to reach: From Belgharia Station: Take a Toto or a cycle-rickshaw from the station exit. It’s a 5-10 minute ride costing around ₹20.
- From Sealdah: Take any North-bound suburban train (Main line or Dankuni line) and get off at Belgharia. The train journey takes about 15–20 minutes.
- From Howrah: Take a bus (Route 185) directly to Belgharia or take a ferry/bus to Sealdah and then a train. A direct taxi from Howrah will cost approximately ₹350–₹450.
Metro Station
- Dakshineswar Metro Station (Blue Line): The nearest operational metro station is Dakshineswar Metro Station (Blue Line), located approximately 5–6 km from the institute. Another option is the Dum Dum Metro Station, which is about 7 km away.
- How to reach: From Dakshineswar Metro, you can easily find an auto-rickshaw or a local bus heading towards Belgharia or Nimta. From Dum Dum Metro, you can take a suburban train to Belgharia Station (just one stop away) and then a short auto ride to the centre.
Bus Connectivity
- Main & Nearest Bus Stand: The Udaypur Bus Stop is the most immediate stop, located just a few steps from the institute. The main regional hub is the Belgharia Station Bus Stand, roughly 1.5 km away.
- Bus Route: Several local and private buses (such as those on route 185, 214, or DN2) connect this area to Howrah, Sealdah, and other parts of North Kolkata. From the Belgharia bus stand, you can take a cycle-rickshaw or a Toto (e-rickshaw) directly to the IIM gate for a fare of about ₹15–₹20.

Exam center is good overall and behavior of staff is also good Computers are ok overall it is comparably good than other centre and one more thing baggage area is also good.
The center is very conveniently located near Belgharia Railway Station(about a 5-minute walk).
Quickest Route: Exit from Platform No. 4, walk parallel to the overbridge, and continue straight. The venue is right on the main road.
Infrastructure & Hardware (IIM 1):
I was at the IIM 1 center. The labs are quite good with huge desk space, ample legroom, and comfortable chairs, which helps during long exam hours.
Systems:
Monitors and mice are from Acer.
Keyboards: This is a hit-or-miss. Many PCs have the Acer PR1101, which is quite stiff/hard to type on. However, some have Frontech keyboards which are much smoother and compact (laptop-style).
Staff & Management:
The staff members are very cooperative and helpful, but they seem Insufficiently trained on the technical side. Some struggled with the software/process, which caused unnecessary delays during registration.
Facilities:
Bag Storage: Available, but the area is very small. It becomes chaotic after the exam, and you’ll have to stand in a long queue to get your bag back.
Washrooms: There is only one toilet inside the hall, leading to very long queues.
Food: Plenty of shops nearby for breakfast and snacks, so finding food is not an issue.
