This part is more relevant to the speakers
Lecture Hall Complex-1 is on the KReSIT side. LCC rooms (so-called: Lecture Conference Classroom) are easily accessed from the KReSIT side entrance of the Lecture Hall Complex.
When entering the campus from the Main Gate, turn right just after Hostel-10 (about half-km from the Main-Gate), and then take first left, and turn extreme left. There is a parking area at this place. Vehicles cannot go beyond this point. Further on this road, on the right side is the Lecture-Hall-Complex (and left of this road is KReSIT). LCC rooms are very close when entering from this entrance of the Lecture Hall Complex.
