Getting started from Jadavpur University

Wikipedia describes the main campus at Jadavpur, about 60 acres, and a separate Salt Lake campus in Bidhannagar. Tell us which one the group leaves from.
Jadavpur station on the Sealdah South section is the usual rail connection, while the airport is in Dum Dum on the other side of the city.

Groups usually meet near the campus gate or a landmark nearby. The Jadavpur and Salt Lake campuses are far apart, so we agree the exact campus and pickup point at booking.
