Reaching IIT (BHU):

1. By Air: The approachable airport to the city is Babatpur which is approximately 35 km away from BHU. One can easily get a direct flight to Varanasi from cities like Delhi, Agra, Khajurao, Kolkata, Mumbai, Lucknow, and Bhubaneshwar airport. 

2. By Rail: Since Varanasi lies in the heartland of the North Indian plains, it is connected to major cities of India via rail. There are three railway stations in Varanasi: Varanasi Junction, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction and Banaras Railway Station.

   Varanasi Junction to BHU :
   BHU Campus is about 10 kms from Varanasi Junction railway station. Auto/Taxi services are available from Varanasi Junction railway station to BHU (Lanka). 

   From Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction to BHU:
   BHU Campus is about 20 km. from Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction. Auto/Taxi services are available from Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction to BHU (Lanka). 

   Banaras Railway Station to BHU:
   BHU Campus is about 3 Km from Manduadih Railway Station. This station connects mainly Varanasi within Uttar Pradesh/New Delhi and there is one weekly train from Rameswaram to Varanasi. Auto/Taxi services are available from Manduadih station to BHU (Lanka).
