Main campus
The Kolkata campus of the Indian Statistical Institute is
located in a sprawling 30-acre estate on the Barrackpore Trunk Road (B.T. Road)
in the Baranagore suburb of Greater Kolkata. It consists of two approximately
equal parts - the office complex and the residential complex, - separated by a
public road. This road (Girish Chand Ghosh Street) connects B.T. Road with Gopal
Lal Tagore Road, a road which runs along the western boundary of the main
campus. The office complex bears door numbers 202, 203 and 204, and the
residential complex, 205 and 206. There is no connection between the two parts
of the campus; to move between the residential and office complexes, one has to
come out on B.T. Road and enter the other campus. There is also a narrow public
road that separates 202 and 203 B.T. Road. There is however, a direct connection
between these two premises.
