Guideline for reaching IIT Kanpur.
From Delhi: Lot of trains are available from NDLS(Newdelhi) to CNBC(Kanpur)
Train took 6-7 hour and one can pick train around 10-11 pm from new delhi railway station and book his/her ticket advanced. Otherwise select the train which reaches at 6-7 am in morning.

My take is
ShramShakti Express (11:50 PM to 6:05 AM), good non stop train from delhi to kanpur. Easily get the ticket if book in advanced.

From Cawnpur(Old name)

railway station taxi/auto rickshaw/shared auto easily available. IIT Kanpur is situated
@Kalyanpur outer skirts. So asked anyone once you get at Kanpur for
Kalyanpur IIT Gate. Journey takes hardly 30 minutes.
Please come at
Ghanta Ghar side at Kanpur railway station mean platform number 16. Do not get outside from platform number 1 as ShramShakti usually come at Platform number 1.
Do not try to come from bus from delhi to kanpur.Accommodation: Lots of lodges/hotel are available at cheap rates(including hourly basis(do not get dirty

)) on
Ghanta Ghar side very near to Railway Station.
From Lucknow:Via Lucknow Airport: Shared/Individual taxi are easily available from
Amausi Airport(Lucknow Airport name). Taxi took hardly two hour to reach kanpur. One have to keep two hour extra in buffer for unavoidable circumstances.

Via Lucknow Bus Stand: Bus will take around two hour and drop you at
Jhakarkati Bus Depot hire a taxi from here to directly IIT Kanpur.
For Air Ticket: Please book it in advance for Delhi/Lucknow. My take delhi fare will be less in comparison to lucknow.
Try to come to delhi in evening around 7-8 PM and take Airport Metro which directly comes at New Delhi Railway Station(take only 18 minutes from IGI) and pick any train around 10-12 PM.


Hope it will clarify lots of people traveling doubts. If else have then it welcome.
