By Cab
From Airport/Railway station/Bus stand:
Simplest is to take a taxi/auto to IISER Mohali. Ask them to drive to IISER (pronounce it as ‘eye-sir’). Almost all the drivers know the location and the way to IISER, which is situated at the point of intersection of Purv Marg and Airport Road (the road one takes while going to Mohali from Tribune Chowk is Purv Marg). Neighbouring locations are – Indian School of Business (ISB) Mohali, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) Mohali. Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST) Mohali is also adjacent, but may not be as well known.
From outstation:
Road connectivity from neighbouring towns to Chandigarh is quite good. From Delhi/Gurgaon, outstation cabs for many online providers only charge one way. The same is true for many other cities in the neighbourhood.
