Directions to the venues:

Lectures would be held in MSB 360 (Mechanical Sciences Block), located on Alumni Avenue, between Computer Science Department and Gajendra Circle. A less confusing way to reach there from Taramani Guest House and Hostels would be to take the institute bus (which is free for everyone) going towards Main Gate, and get down near MSB (on your right). Alternatively, if you are walking, you can come to Gajendra Circle from Hostels / Guest House, and take a left on Alumni Avenue. You will reach MSB in five minute walk on your left. The classroom is on the third floor towards a corner.

Lab session would be held in the Systems Lab, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, which is again five minutes from MSB. We will take you there from MSB.
