How are hostel rooms allocated in IIT Madras and what are the hostel rules and regulations?
One of my friends at IIT Madras stayed in the hostel. So I might be able to give you some information about it. Here is the stuff he shared with me.
- The allocation of hostel rooms for freshers and sophomores are random.
- There’s nothing as choice-based allotment of rooms.
- The good point of this is that you would be in possession of a room among your other batch mates.
- As mentioned earlier, sophomores again do not have a choice but to receive random allocation of hostel rooms.
- You are transferred to another hostel in your sophomore year.
- You’ll find yourself among the seniors and the better part of this is that seniors make the college life vivacious.
- Students of 3rd and 4th years have the freedom to occupy rooms of their own choice.
- Since the graduating students depart from the existing rooms, the sophomores and the students of 3rd and 4th years fill the vacancy.
- But the students of 5th year receive a higher priority in room selection afterall, they are the seniors.
There are a number of rules and regulations to be followed but the bottom line is that the students could not care any less. They precisely live by not being troublesome to others in the hostel and having the freedom to create their own fun college life.
Loud music, smoking and drinking within the hostel premises are prohibited but if you find a neighbour who does not care about it then the problem is solved.
How is hostel life in NIT Rourkela?
NIT Rourkela has 11 hostels, out of which 7 hostels are for boys students, 2 girls hostels and the remaining 2 are for married students.
The administration is very strict and hostel timings can become an issue for girls. Apart from this, you will be given 4 hours to use the Gym. Other than that, there are indoor sports like Badminton and table tennis courts in every hostel.
You will be given access to DC++, a software where you can find everything from videos, PDFs, assignments, tutorials and many other things. Overall, NIT Rourkela Hostels are quite good as they are well maintained and provide all the necessary facilities.
Does all the AIIMS have the same freedom environment like bringing anyone to their rooms no hostel timings or is it only for the AIIMS Delhi?
In AIIMS Bhopal, the hostel deadline for girls is 10 pm and for boys, there are no timings. Even for the girls, the library is open till 2 AM. There are no strict timings for both the girls and boys and they can stay out after 10 pm also. Many students do that.
From the third year, these timings and rules are even more relaxed. Until the third year, a student can have minor arguments with the warden or the guard but there will be no major issues or problems. For events also, there is no one to watch you. With the help of the student union, no one interferes in the college fests or events. They don’t keep a student under eye for 24*7 and students can be around in the hostel campus these times as late as 4 am also.
These rules are relaxed after the first year as earlier the deadline was off till 9 pm for girls. The rule of boys could not enter girls hostels and vice versa still pertains. The students can visit the PG and intern hostels at any time.
What are the mess charges at MNIT Allahabad?
The mess charges at MNNIT Allahabad may vary depending on the type of hostel and mess you are allotted to. Generally, the mess charges at MNNIT Allahabad are reasonable and affordable.
For a non-vegetarian mess, the average monthly charge is around Rs. 2500-3000. For a vegetarian mess, the average monthly charge is around Rs. 2000-2500.

As the hostel rooms at IIIT Guwahati are built for 1 person a room but from this year, it is going to be 2 per room, is it not congested and is anything going to change for the hostel?
Yes, as the rooms were designed and built for a single person per room, thus adjusting two people will make it a little congested. But it would not be a problem as the students will be provided with double-decker beds.
There will be proper space for two tables and chairs. The rooms in the hostel have proper ventilation.
If the student wants to sleep on the floor, they can remove the double-decker beds from their room. They will be provided with two cupboards in one room, each for a student. The students can put all their belongings there.
In comparison with some other institutions such as IIT BHU, where three of the beds are arranged in U-shaped with a table in the center of the room, the condition of IIIT Guwahati is much better.
Even after knowing all these facts, if there is any doubt about the room then you should visit the campus or talk with the current students over there and try to know about any ongoing issue about the same.
Which is the best hostel in NIT Trichy for first year B.Tech students?
The hostel facilities provided in NIT Trichy are excellent. There are many hostels in this college but the best hostel for the students is the Diamond hostel.
- Diamond hostel: The facilities available inside this hostel are amazing and the ventilation available inside the rooms is top class. The hostel is located in a very good spot with the mess, canteens, and lecture halls are nearby. There are also two well-maintained rooms which are specially made to play table tennis.
There are some other hostels too inside the NIT Trichy campus which are as follows.
- Agate: The location of this hostel is excellent but there are a lot of issues with the wifi speed and the ventilation available is not good.
- Jade: This hostel is also very good and is above average in everything except for the location of the lecture rooms and the canteen is very far away from the hostel and it is a big disadvantage.
- Coral: The location of this hostel is as good as agate but the condition of the rooms inside this hostel is very poor.
Before choosing a room, do check out the wifi speed personally as slow wifi speed can be very frustrating and it consumes a lot of time while accessing the internet.
How good is hostel life at NIET?
Here are some of the information from an ex-student of NIET and a good friend of mine about the girl’s hostel.
- The wifi facility is available, however, most of the sites are blocked and students use VPN to use them.
- The food served initially is good but over time, the quality degrades. The mess committee guarantees quality and change of menus in starting year but you won’t get to see any change.
- Lift is also available but it never works. It is always under maintenance. The student of the first year gets 4th floor and they have to struggle a lot due to this.
- The security management of the hostel is quite good.
- The rooms in the girls’ hostel are of two types- three and four-seater. The first-year students are placed on the 4th floor in four-seater rooms and rest in 1st. 2nd, and 3rd in three-seater.
- There is no Gym facility for girls in the hostel. There is one on the second campus, you will have to go by NIET Bus.
- You are not allowed to be in your room during college hours. As there won’t be any electricity.
- The students are allowed to stay out till 7 pm. And for a night out, you will have to take permission from the chief warden who will first ask from parents and then allow.
Overall the hostel experience will be average. You can opt for the college hostel in first year to make some friends, and move out later in 2nd year.
How is hostel life in the Madras Institute of Technology? What is the hostel GATE closing time?
During my brother’s college days, they roam around freely as there was no fence. But now, to get into the hostel zone of MIT, you must walk around the fence. One of the primary difficulties for dormitory students should be this. However, this has been done from a managerial standpoint to improve safety.
- The hostel zone takes up about a third of the overall campus space, making it one of the smallest in Tamil Nadu.
- A great area filled with trees for convenience and to enable interactions with all of the batchmates, juniors, and seniors, was too compact, yet too good.
- The smaller the campus, the shorter the distance between MITians.
- As the hostels are close to one another, the students are easily connected to all of their fellow MITians.
- The only disadvantage is that the playground with extra dorms is located through the main gate, which is very far.
- Except for breakfast, hostel messes were always full. However, even at that time, a single plate is shared by a large group of friends.
- Students rush into the mess at 8.25 a.m. to smuggle their breakfast onto their friend's plate.
Everything that happens there, from department slides to songs, films, IPL games, MITAFEST, and so on, introduces MITians to a new universe in which they not only sit and watch but also shout, dance, and play on stage.
Hostel gate closing timings are 6:00 pm for first-year engineering students. 9:00 pm for girls and 10:00 pm for boys respectively.
Do a PG student get a hostel room in IIT Delhi campus?
IIT Delhi has stopped providing on-campus hostel facilities to PG MTech students specially bound mainly due to the shortage of Hostel rooms inside the campus. Earlier they used to provide off-campus hostels that were in pathetic conditions. But starting from 2020, they have even stopped providing these off-campus hostels and students are expected to arrange for their accommodation.
The students have to go to the hostel inside the campus for mess food and have to roam around without any permanent on-campus residence. Moreover, so much distance between their off campus residence and the college wastes a lot of time and they can hardly spare time for doing additional things like studying for an entrance exam.
New hostels are being built to accommodate MTech students and hopefully, in the coming future you might see better hostel facilities for PG students.
