You could get a rapid PCR test which gives results within an hour. Not a rapid antigen test, a rapid PCR test. It's more expensive that regular PCR though.

Re: self tests: Coviself, Covifind and PanBio (the Indian version of binaxnow) are approved by ICMR and available on amazon.in

And at most (big) medical stores as well. I've used Coviself and it's fairly straight forward although they make you download an app for verification...only thing is to make sure you have a safe way of disposing it after use. The instruction leaflet instructs to dispose with household waste which is incorrect - it should be disposed with sanitary waste instead.

I plan to fly into CCU later this month and was concerned to find this on a government site (especially #3 below):
In any case we were planning to spend only about 4 days in CCU and then move elsewhere in India.
I understand I am perhaps getting a little paranoid here, but I certainly do not want to spend even 1 hour in one of these places, let alone seven days! Short of cancelling the trip altogether, what would the India experts on this forum suggest?
- Passengers must complete the self-declaration form before departure. They must select Air Suvidha on the right top corner at www.newdelhiairport.in
- Passengers are subject to medical screening.
- Passengers are subject to quarantine for 7 days.

You stay in the same hotel room, no problem. The WB authorities are currently not checking the home q. Make sure you give an adress you can be found at and a number you can be reached at when filing the air suvidha form.
