JIPMER messes serve good quality food. You can either pay the monthly fee and have your meals in a single mess, or you can visit any mess and pay for that meal. You can also change your mess monthly. This is a really good system as it helps beat monotony. 

The common mess serves both North and South Indian dishes, separately. Addons like chicken 65, fish, omelet, egg, chicken gravy, etc. can be obtained at very affordable prices. The breakfast consists of idli, dosa, Pongal, poori, bread, jam, and sometimes noodles as well. 

During lunch, you’ll get rice, sambhar, rasam, curd, one vegetable, chapati/poori, curry, salad, and papad. The messes serve good snacks with beverages. During dinner, Uthappam/Poori/chapati with rice and curry is served. Dosas, juices, cold drinks, and other food items are available in the common mess and cafeterias at very cheap prices. 

The hostel food at JIPMER is of good quality and good taste. The best part is that the meals are very affordable.

A close friend of mine shared a few pictures of her hostel room at JIPMER. This is Curie 1 and the little garden attached to it. My friend enjoyed staying at Curie 1 more than Curie 2 because the life here was more vibrant. 

The view from her balcony shows PG men's hostel and the two basketball courts in between

The room with the green curtain belonged to my friend and the first door towards the right is the washroom for the set of rooms that are in the corridor

This is the wash area with provision for drying clothes

This is what her room in Curie 1 looked like as a whole.

The rooms in Curie 2 are much bigger. 

I hope the pictures helped you get a clear idea of the girls' hostel facilities at JIPMER. 

The PG life at JIPMER is extremely tiring and the clinical branches are hectic You will hardly get 4-5 hours of sleep a day but things will get better after 6 months. The academic environment is without doubt one of the best in the country with a healthy good senior-junior rapport. Students take their thesis work quite seriously.

The PGs hail from different corners of the country so you get to meet a highly diverse crowd with different levels of intellect and talents. many different types of people. Hard work is the common unifying factor among them. 

Infrastructure in Jipmer has been constantly improved over the past few years and the hostel facilities are amazing. Decent food is served in the mess and students have 24/7 access to the internet. Some of the best PG departments of JIPMER are Medicine, OBG, Pediatrics, Anaesthesia, Dermat, Opthal, ENT, etc

Overall, PG life at JIPMER is quite challenging but the experience and the JIPMER tag are definitely worth it.

Yes, students of JIPMER have a more dynamic and thrilling college life than students of AIIMS Delhi. JIPMER students are free to explore outside the campus and students can be seen having breakfast at the beach, spending weekends in some fancy beach resort, driving through White Town with its perfect French architecture, and going for star-gazing on a clear night. They have access to world cuisine from French to Italian to Asian in beautiful restaurants. All these activities speak of the sense of freedom experienced by JIPMER students. 

However, this does not certainly mean that the college has no rules and regulations and students are left on their own. There are regulations on dress code and attendance to maintain decorum within the campus. Students follow these rules diligently. Recently they also banned students from bringing vehicles inside the campus, although relaxations were soon made.

All in all, JIPMER does provide more freedom to its students and lets them explore beyond academics without bringing down the discipline of the institute.
