One of my friends lives in the PEC Chandigarh hostel, so I can give you basic information every hostler there may know. 

1. Locals: If you are local, then you have to wait a bit to get a hostel. Approximately it takes 2 weeks of time to allot rooms to locals. You also have to submit a written application to DSA with attached address proof. 
2. Room: Every first-year student has to share his room with another fresher. After the first year, students are eligible to stay in a single room.
3. Mess: The food quality of the hostel mess is not worth the fees you pay for it. On special days or occasions, special meals are served to the students, which is of good quality as compared to normal days.
4. Electricity and Water: Hostel has a good supply of electricity and water. So, students don’t have to worry about it.
5. Hostel Timings: There is no restriction of timing in the hostel. You can go out of the hostel and can come back at any time. 
6. Laundry: Every student gets laundry service at the hostel. But laundry allowance is not included in hostel fees, so students have to pay separately for it. Also, avoid giving expensive clothes in the laundry, as it might get ruined. 
7. Wifi: The campus has Wifi connectivity around the campus. It faces some network problems, but its speed is good.
8. Cleanness: Hostels are not clean and tidy, neither the washrooms and toilets. Except, the newly constructed building, Shivalik C Block, which is clean. It is better that you keep your room clean, though. 
9. Ragging: There is no ragging at the hostel campus. You will have an introductory session with seniors both in college and a hostel. The introduction is done with a few fun activities so that freshers easily get to mingle with seniors. 

Therefore, hostel life at Punjab Engineering College is overall good. Apart from this, freshers also get hostel parties besides college fresher’s parties. So, the overall experience of PEC is good.

Yes, you can get a hostel at PEC University if you live in Chandigarh. But Punjab Engineering College has its own procedure to allot hostels to students. 

• As per University procedure, firstly University will allot hostel rooms to students living outside Chandigarh. 
• The remaining seats after the allotment will later be given to waiting list students including locals and students with Chandigarh Quota. 
• PEC has huge hostel promises and enough rooms for students. You do not need to worry about not getting the seats. One of my cousins who is a local is also staying in the PEC hostel. 
• You might have to wait a bit to get a hostel. Approximately it takes 2 weeks of time to allot rooms to locals. 
• You also have to submit a written application to DSA with attached address proof.

Therefore, yes Chandigarh locals get hostels. As PEC hostels are big enough to accommodate all students.

One of my cousins recently graduated from NIT Arunachal Pradesh. He has shared his hostel experience with me:

• It all depends upon which hostel is assisted to you. If you are lucky you might get to live with 2-3 students or you will with at least 7 students in a single room. This is due to the unavailability of a permanent campus. 
• My cousin lived with 7 students who were allotted the same room. They were given 2 rooms, a hall with 2 bathrooms and a gallery. The distribution was such that 2 students in each room and the other 3 in the hall.
• By the 4th year, they were shifted to another building and 6 students were allocated the bigger room, and small rooms were allotted to 3 students.

You will get a better insight if you get in touch with any of the students currently studying in college.

Also, I don’t think rooms will be of any major concern. Once you get comfortable with your batch mates you will find a lot of empty beds to sleep in.

Haldia Institute of Technology is best known for its hostels among all of the state colleges in West Bengal. The best part about the hostels is that there are separate buildings year-wise and everyone literally enjoys this facility.

The food at the mess is good when compared to most of the hostels. However, it cannot match the taste with home-cooked food.

The staff and the workers of the hostels are very kind and help through any problem a student faces in the hostel property. Every student from HIT misses the experience of the hostel of this institute. Just try to be positive and enjoy your hostel life to the best of your best.

I have a few friends from Karunya University and here are some of the information about the hostel facilities according to them. 

Room:

The facilities of the hostel room of the Karunya University includes room for four students where there are two double-decker beds, four tables, four cupboards, and one mirror available. However, there is no TV provided in any room but there is a single TV available in the hostel for students to watch anything whenever they like to.

Food: The food that is being provided to the students at the hostel mess is quite good and hygienic.

Gym: There is a gym for students, where they have to pay just rupees 500 each semester and get access to every other piece of equipment available there.

Newspaper: The Hindu newspaper is provided daily in the hostel to be up to date with what’s happening in the world and around.

• Kannan departmental stores
• Fruit stall
• Cool and Yummy
• Hot kitchen
• Xerox Shop

Overall, the facilities at Karunya University hostels are good and you can happily stay there with the facilities available.
