All cab drivers are familiar with the University campus, and the road signs in the campus will direct you to IUCAA. (In case the driver is unsure of the route, or location, please call our Nalanda Guest house reception (020)-2560 4500 who will be able to guide the driver). If you arrive at the university after 10pm, please enter the university from the main gate. IUCAA is located close to the Aundh-Khadki gate at the other end of the university. The cab will cost you about Rs. 350-450/-. (We have found that taking a prepaid cab proves to be more convenient than having a taxi wait, since parking is somewhat further away.)
