What is the best time to travel around India, given the IIMC schedules?
R. For exchange students, especially those in Term V, the Puja vacations can be used to travel (October 12-16). Else it is a good idea to do your traveling before the term states or after it ends due to the attendance requirement. Despite the attendance, you can still manage weekend getaways around Calcutta but nothing of the Delhi/Madras sort. In terms of seasons, India is best seen in November-January when the weather is pleasant. In case you are planning to travel after your term ends, all the exchange students can leave all the excess luggage they dont want to carry around in a room at IIMC for which they shall have to jointly pay a daily rent of Rs. 30/- per day. Also you must get your visa extended to cover the period of travel as IIMC will not provide any letter on that regard.
