You can take a direct auto-rickshaw to Kamalpur/Santiniketan Polytechnic. A private auto will cost you roughly ₹150–₹220, while shared autos (which may require a change at City Centre) will cost around ₹40 in total."

However, if you are flying from a city with limited direct connectivity to Andal, the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) in Kolkata is the main alternative, located about 175 km away.How to reach: From the Durgapur (Andal) airport, the most practical way to reach the center is by hiring a private taxi or booking an Ola/Uber. The drive takes about 40 minutes. If you arrive at the Kolkata airport, it is best to take a train from Howrah or Sealdah to Durgapur, or board an air-conditioned Volvo bus from the airport’s bus stand directly to Durgapur."

        The Santiniketan Polytechnic (often searched as Shanti Niketan) is a well-known technical college in Durgapur that frequently serves as a large-scale examination hub for online competitive tests. It is located on Nachan Road in the Kamalpur area, which is slightly removed from the dense urban core of the Durgapur Steel Plant township. This location is particularly advantageous for candidates as it offers a quiet, academic atmosphere with minimal noise pollution. The campus is quite expansive with clear signage, making it easy to navigate once you reach the main gate. While it is on the outskirts, the center is well-connected by the city's main arterial roads, and the presence of the Kamalpur Post Office nearby serves as a reliable landmark for anyone arriving by local transport.    </div>

However, if you are flying from a city with limited direct connectivity to Andal, the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) in Kolkata is the main alternative, located about 175 km away.</li><li><strong>How to reach: </strong>From the Durgapur (Andal) airport, the most practical way to reach the center is by hiring a private taxi or booking an Ola/Uber. The drive takes about 40 minutes. If you arrive at the Kolkata airport, it is best to take a train from Howrah or Sealdah to Durgapur, or board an air-conditioned Volvo bus from the airport’s bus stand directly to Durgapur.</li></ul></p>

You can take a direct auto-rickshaw to Kamalpur/Santiniketan Polytechnic. A private auto will cost you roughly ₹150–₹220, while shared autos (which may require a change at City Centre) will cost around ₹40 in total.</li></ul></p>
