During the time my brother stayed at the IIT Bhubaneswar hostels, there was one hostel for both boys and girls. One more for each was under construction. 

Mahanadi Hall Of Residence (Boys hostel)

• The residence is divided into 2 blocks where one is assigned to freshers and the other is assigned to seniors. The top floor is for Ph.D. scholars.
• There are LAN ports in every room and internet service is pretty good,
• There are 10 lifts inside the building
• Like any other IIT, Bhubaneswar has excellent sports facilities including a basketball court, a volleyball court, a gym,2 badminton courts, 4 table tennis tables. You can also find cricket, soccer, hockey fields, lawn tennis court, and separate space for javelin throw and short putt.
• The food served in the mess is decent and of average quality like any other mess. Additionally, there is a canteen that serves food till late at night. 
• There are some big common rooms for students to spend their leisure time and be involved in extracurricular activities like music, dance, and art.
• The hostel has a 24/7 operating AT

My knowledge is limited to the boys hostel only although I believe the girls hostel has similar facilities. 

I have many friends at Galgotias University and all of them hated the food there. Some even moved out of the hostel just because the food was unsatisfactory and not edible. Some prefer having food from the external hostel service. The university hostel does not serve non-veg so many have to eat from external services. 

Generally, hostel food at Galgotia University is pathetic and it’s recommended you live in a PG nearby. One of my friends lives at Stanza Living near Galgotias University. Their menu comprises a variety of tasty dishes!

One of my friends was a student at MNIT Jaipur and shared his hostel experience of the same. As per him, the accommodation facilities were decent and his favorite hostel was the Aurobindo Hostel. This hostel was allotted to boys in the 2nd and 4th years only. I also have friends in other government colleges from which I concluded that MNIT Jaipur Aurobindo Hostel was indeed the best among them.

The hostels for 1st and 3rd-year boys are also good. Girls are allotted a private hostel named Gargi hostel and a new girls hostel is on the way.

All the hostels are surrounded by lush greenery and offer a soothing ambiance.

As a senior I would advise you to never compare your hostel with your home. Hostel life is a unique experience, and you’ll meet people from various backgrounds and cultures. Hostel life will have something in store for you, irrespective of who you are and where you are from. 

Fresher boys are allotted Gajjar Bhawan at SVNIT. It is a four storey building, located at the end corner of the campus. The building is in a good condition with proper air circulation. It is furnished and painted. It is huge enough to also house M.Tech 2nd years and hostel workers. The fresher rooms are spacious and double seater. You’ll get a single room from second year onwards. The rooms are allotted randomly at the time of hostel admission. 

Each room contains two beds, two mattresses and mattress covers, two pillows and pillow covers ( depends upon availability), two chairs, two study tables, one big iron cupboard, one white board, one green board, one LAN connection port and a LAN cable, curtains on the windows, mosquito nets, one fan, three charging slots, one tubelight and one lamp.

The hostel has common washrooms, payable but affordable laundry facility, unlimited Wifi and LAN facility with high speed internet, clean surroundings, the lounge room has English, Hindi and Gujarati daily newspapers, along with some monthly magazines, there is a cycle parking on the ground floor, there are 2-3 table tennis courts, a volleyball ground, a small library, a study room, a TV room, a night canteen and a computer lab with internet facility. 

These are some of the facilities available at the first year hostel. Overall, the hostels at SVNIT are good enough.

The Kailash Boys hostel for freshers of NIT Hamirpur, has various blocks. The old ones are- A, B, C, D, and the new one is E. The old blocks have a good LAN network facility. The LAN network can be turned into WiFi network using cmd. E block has a decent Wi-Fi facility, however, there are some rooms where the network connectivity may be poor.

But overall, block E is better. This is because it has bigger, well-maintained newer rooms. Each of its rooms has 3 fans, 1 per bed. 

Overall, facility-wise, E block is better. On the other hand, the older blocks provide better internet connectivity. You can easily shift to an older block later on, by submitting an application. 

One of my friends, being part of the institute, has adequate information about it. Here is what he has to say,

Infrastructure:

• There are five blocks (A, B, C, D, H) built for the boys and G blocks for the girls.
• These blocks were constructed quite a long time ago and are currently under the renovation phase with better facilities expected to be equipped.
• The only new block for the boys is the H-block and it definitely has better infrastructure than the rest.
• There are two other buildings which are also under construction. It is expected that the two buildings will be constructed within the following 2 years.

Food Facility:

• The food facilities at the several messes will only cost Rs. 45. Nonetheless, there are 4 messes and you can choose one among any of them.
• There are other facilities like the Tiffin facility. It can usually be availed from various local Tiffin suppliers.

Study Facilities:

• The college library can be availed mostly every time for study purposes.
• It can be a very good option during or prior to your examinations.
• It is open from 8 A.M to 12 A.M.

Other Important Facilities:

• Other necessary items, like RO water and coolers, are available for students at the hostel as well.
• There are various solar water heaters equipped in each of the blocks.
• The electricity bills of the hostels are generally paid by the government.

The advantage of it all is that all these facilities can be availed at only Rs. 1200 per year. The main upside of the hostel is that the seniors in it are known to be very helpful and most of them are friendly.
