How is the hostel and mess facility at JIPMER?
I am an alumnus of JIPMER. Here are the details on the hostel and mess facilities at JIPMER.
Most hostels are located in the hostel complex. The male UG students get rooms in Osler House, Lister House or Intern's Boys Hostel. The Intern’s Boys Hostel is newly built and has better rooms.
Each hostel has a study room, a recreational room, and good wifi facilities. The Intern’s Boys hostel has good and spacious rooms. The hostel rooms are two seater rooms.The Intern’s Boys Hostel has attached washrooms, but Osler and Lister have common washrooms. Each hostel room has a balcony. There is a parking space behind the hostels.
There are two major messes on campus. The Common Mess offers both North and South Indian meals. Additional food items are available at cheap prices. The common mess operates till late night.
Harvey Mess serves South Indian meals only. They serve delicious chicken items that are available at cheap prices. Some external kitchens also offer mess service for students. Other than messes, the canteens (EMS Cafeteria and Lister Canteen) offer good meals at affordable prices. The food served at each of the messes and canteens is of good quality.
JIPMER offers good hostel and mess facilities overall.
How are hostel facilities in VIT, Pune?
VIT Pune used to have one of the best hostels in Pune. But for some policy decisions, they had to let go of the hostel. The new student accommodation is decent but it is further away from the college around 2.5 km.
Rather it will be better to rent an apartment closer to the college. It will save you both time and money.
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 is the hostel life at IIM Bangalore?
The best thing about the hostel, according to students, is the bond that develops among batchmates. There are 16 hostel blocks, one executive residential block, and one executive accommodation at the Management Development Centre at IIMB (MDC).
All students are provided with on-campus housing in well-appointed single rooms in the hostels.
Standard amenities include 24-hour Internet access, fully automatic washing machines, a music room, and a recreation room. There are also laundry and ironing services available. The hostels also have an intercom system that is linked to the institute's intercom. It also has a student-run library, music club, and store.
Each room has a bed and mattress, a table and chair, a whiteboard with a clipboard, an almirah, tube lights, fans, and bookshelves. There is a mess on the campus where there are arrangements for the night canteen, managed by students. It also has a coffee shop, an Amul shop, two food outlets, and a restaurant. Food can also be ordered online and delivered within an hour to the hostel.
The IIMB campus is so fascinating that you won't want to spend time outside. Nonetheless, there are two malls within a three-kilometer radius. Students go there to watch movies or shop.
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.

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.

How is the girls hostel at MNNIT Allahabad?
MNNIT Allhabad has two girls hostels. Students of B.Tech lives in Kamla Nehru Girla Hostel. The hostel is located in the colony area outside the Saraswati gate.
MNNIT hostels for girls are two-seater. Although the rooms aren’t very spacious, after a while you will get used to them. The washrooms are hygienic and cleaned regularly.
The mess food isn’t too bad. They offer 4 meals - breakfast, lunch, evening snacks, and dinner.
There is no wifi, but each room has LAN connection. Usually, there is one LAN port, so you will have to share it with your roommate.
The hostels are safe. There are security guards present at all times. The in-time for first-year girls is 8:30 pm while for second year onwards, the in-time is 9:30 pm. Extensions are given during fests.
Other than the inconvenience of a few lizards and insects, the hostel facilities are pretty good.
Which is the best hostel in IIT Delhi? Can we choose which hostel we want to stay in?
IIT Delhi has both old as well as new hostels and obviously the new ones have better facilities and infrastructure. The new hostels are Girnar and Udaigiri and have spacious rooms and have 8 floors each with a total of 400 rooms in each hostel. These hostels have a big crowd which means a bigger hostel family to interact with during events. The mess facilities are also considerably better and bigger than old hostels.
The old hostel buildings have only 3-4 floors with smaller rooms and less facilities. But these hostels have a nostalgia associated with many toppers who are successful people today. This spirit keeps the ambiance of these old hostels lively.
Honestly, I wouldn’t say one hostel is better than the other. Every hostel has its unique aspects and cannot be compared.
As for the choice of hostels, no, you cannot choose your hostel. It is allotted to you randomly at the time of admission, every hostel having a mixed bag of students. You cannot change your hostel unless it’s a serious issue.
