How to reach AMET University from Chennai Railway Station

Couple of months ago, I had to go to AMET university,
for admitting a relative of mine. Since it's located at
the outskirts of the city, not many locals are familiar
with it. So, when I tried to book a pre-paid auto from outside
the railway station, the person at the booking counter
was clueless, even the auto drivers were unaware.

I had called up a friend before the trip, who told me
that AMET is very close to Mayajal Multiplex. Most
of the people knew that place well. Still no auto
driver agreed in less than Rs. 450/-. So, I called
fasttrack taxi at 044 2888 9999. They charge Rs. 10/-
per km, and AMET was 35 kms from the railway station.
So, it cost us Rs. 350/-. Much cheaper than an auto
and much faster as well.

After finishing our work, we went to the Crocodile park
nearby(roughly 8-10 kms) and Kovalam beach (somewhere
in the way you have to take a turn inside).
