About Institute Of Instrumentation And Metrology

The Institute Of Instrumentation And Metrology (IIM), located in the Belgharia/Nimta area of North Kolkata, is a well-established technical institute and a frequent venue for various online competitive exams. Situated on Madhusudan Banerjee Road (M.B. Road) near Udaypur, it serves as a critical hub for candidates from Kolkata and the surrounding districts. The centre is favored for its spacious computer labs and systematic entry procedures, which help minimize the stress often associated with exam days. Its location in a residential-cum-educational pocket of Belgharia ensures that the immediate surroundings are relatively calm compared to the busy main roads of Kolkata. For candidates, the availability of small shops and eateries near the "Udaypur More" landmark makes it a convenient spot for a quick bite or last-minute stationary needs.

How To Reach Institute Of Instrumentation And Metrology

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.

Railway Station

  • Belgharia Railway Station: Belgharia Railway Station is the nearest local station, situated about 1.5 km from the centre. For those coming from further away, Sealdah (SDAH) is the main station (12 km), and Howrah (HWH) is about 16 km away.
  • 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.

Local Taxi / Auto

Candidate's Reviews

Real experiences from previous candidates

Real Experiences from Real Candidates — The reviews below are submitted by students and candidates who have personally appeared for examinations at Institute Of Instrumentation And Metrology in Kolkata. Each review reflects a genuine on-ground experience covering aspects such as center infrastructure, seating comfort, invigilator behavior, entry procedures, availability of drinking water and washrooms, and overall exam environment. Reading these reviews before your exam date can help you set the right expectations, avoid common mistakes, and plan your arrival, parking, and nearby stay more effectively.

VIGILANTE — ★★★☆☆ (11 months ago)
The exam centre comprises two buildings, with bag storage provided in the second building located behind the main one. The premises are somewhat congested, ventilation is inadequate, and conditions can become uncomfortable during summer. Washroom facilities are average, and parking as well as accessibility remain challenging. On exam days, the infrastructure often feels strained due to heavy footfall. On the positive side, staff are cooperative and the computer systems provided (Acer brand) are reliable. Overall, the centre is functional, though improvements in comfort and facilities would greatly enhance the candidate experience.
Koushik Kolay — ★★★★☆ (6 months ago)
All Guidences are good, they clarify your thinking about going towards the centre. But if you travel from long distance you may have followed by the sealdah Railway Junction and get into the Krishna Nagar Local or Naihati Local Train and arrive at Belgharia Station. If you belong from Lower Middle class family you walk straight beside the overbridge around 15 minutes, you entered into this centre easily. Arrive by auto rickshaw or toto e-rickshaw is good for nothing from Belgharia Station.
Travo — ★★★★☆ (9 months ago)
From platform number 4 of Belgharia station, walk straight from the side of the bridge, You can get off at Udaipur intersection from there by paying ten rupees for auto, Or walk 900 meters and you will reach at IIM.

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.
Tirtha — ★★★☆☆ (4 months ago)
Location & Directions:
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.
