Which is the best hostel in IIT Bombay and why?

PD
Priyanka Das Posted On : March 18th, 2023
Studied Marketing at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai (2019)

My brother had the pleasure of staying at hostels 9, 16, and now 13 in chronological order. However, he claimed not one hostel had the complete facilities one expects in a hostel. I have described each hostel in a few pointers 

Hostel 9

  • Extremely small room difficult for even 2 people to share
  • The best food in the entire institute is served in this hostel
  • It has many facilities like a pool, a small footer field, basketball court, table tennis and makes your leisure time great 

Hostel 16

  • This hostel has some of the best rooms in the entire institute. The rooms are double occupancy but can easily be shared by more people.
  • If you are lucky enough to be allotted the 6th floor or above, you can get a spectacular view of Hiranandani.
  • The food is not very good

Hostel 13

  • The room is usually for PG or DD students
  • The rooms are single occupancy and are decked with decent facilities 
  • The food in the Mess is neither too good nor too bad.
  • The hostel has a wide range of extracurricular facilities. There is a TV room that can accommodate around 70–80 people. 
  • This hostel is most coveted because of the spectacular view of the Powai lake and the Hiranandani it offers.

Does NMIMS Mumbai provide hostel accommodation or residential facilities near the campus? What's the cost associated?

SD
Shivani Deshmukh Posted On : March 14th, 2023
B.Sc. in Finance (college major), NMIMS

If you are considering staying at MKM Sanghavi hostel at NMIMS Mumbai, here are some important things you should know based on personal experience:

  • Food: The mess facility is available, but it can be expensive at Rs 75 per thali. It is open from around 7:30 am to 10 pm, but breakfast is often not served on time. If you come back from college after 10 pm, you will need to order food from outside. Sharing a thali can be a good way to save money.
  • Washing: There is a washing machine area on the first floor with around 7-8 machines, but only half of them work. With so many girls and only a few working machines, it can be challenging to wash your clothes. MBA students have erratic schedules, and they may not be able to use the washing machine when they want to.
  • Water: There is a machine on every floor, but some girls prefer to buy their own Bisleri water because they have heard rumors of worms in the water from the machines. You only get hot water in your bathroom for a limited time each day, and it can take a while to get hot water. This can be inconvenient when you are busy with deadlines.
  • Fridge: There is a fridge on every floor, and you can label your milk tetra packs with your name. If there is no fridge on your floor, you can ask the authorities to provide one.
  • Curfew: The curfew is 11 pm, but you can enter later if you are coming back from college or placements. However, once you are in the hostel, you cannot leave after 11 pm. If you need to stay in the library to study, they will not let you out after curfew.
  • Rooms: The rooms are spacious, with most being triple sharing and a few twin-sharing. The beds are single beds with box beds, and you get a study table and cupboard. Storage space is decent, but lighting is low, so many people use table lamps in addition to the light at the study table.
  • Bathrooms: The bathrooms have been designed well, with three separate areas for the bath, toilet, and wash basin. Lighting is low, though, and some plug points may not work.
  • Open drain: The biggest disadvantage of the hostel is the open drain behind the building, which leads to a lot of mosquitoes. The common area on each floor overlooks the drain, and some rooms have balconies that open to the drain.

Is a single person room available in the IMS Noida boy’s hostel?

AS
Akshita Sonavane Posted On : March 10th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (2000–present)

Firstly, IMS Noida does not have its own boys' hostel and is affiliated with Sanskriti Awaas Boys Hostel. This hostel is at a distance of 5-6km from the main campus. Some other highlights of this hostel are

  • The overall hostel facility is extremely poor
  • The amenities are of substandard quality
  • Hard water is provided and causes a lot of problems
  • The two-bedroom rooms are decent but the triple bedrooms are average

Overall the poor hostel facilities might hinder your studies and bring down your performance as a whole. So I would recommend you to find PGs or flats in Indrapuram, Ghaziabad.

Where are some housing living accommodation options for a girl attending JBIMS at Churchgate?

PS
Pranay Singh Posted On : March 3rd, 2023
MBA Guitarist

You have the option of staying in the girls' hostel at the Mumbai University Campus in Kalina. A classmate of yours moved there in the second semester and reported having a positive experience. Here are some of its key features:

  • You can easily access the university canteen which is located just a minute away from the hostel.
  • The campus itself is well-maintained with plenty of green spaces and your hostel is located near the main gate.
  • You can take a shared rickshaw to Santacruz Station, which is just a 5-8 minute ride away. From Santacruz to Churchgate, you can travel by train in approximately 40 minutes. Additionally, it is a 5-minute walk or a 2-minute taxi ride from the station to the college. Thus, you can expect an hour of travel time from the hostel to JBIMS.
  • Each person is assigned their own room and there is no need for sharing.
  • The Business District Centre (BKC) is located just 10 minutes away from the university.
  • You can visit the American Library, which is located 15 minutes away, and study for hours while accessing their vast collection of books for free.

This information should be useful for you in making a decision. There is also another Diamond Awa hostel, but it is only available to students with a direct relative in the army. For more information on this hostel, it is recommended that you conduct a search on Google.

How is the NMIMS Mumbai? What can be the cost of 2 years for an MBA, including accommodation? Is it worth the money? Which companies come for placement?

MJ
Malhar Joshi Posted On : March 1st, 2023
MBA Operations & Supply Chain, Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune (2014)

You have asked multiple questions at the same time and I'm here to clear all your doubts. Starting with the first part is how NMIMS is, well it is better than the newer IIMs and institutes like IMT, SIBM, SCMHRD, and IMI. In case you have calls from these, straight away go for NMIMS only. You can pursue an MBA with any specialization here. You should reconsider your decision however if you have calls from MDI, NITIE, IIFT Delhi, IIT Bombay, and JBIMS and you are willing to study something apart from Marketing.

However, NMIMS is not comparable to the older IIMs and FMS.

Cost of MBA (2 years )

The yearly NMIMS MBA fees are INR 11.95 Lakhs Fees. The additional costs are around 2.4 Lakhs every year. So the total cost of an MBA for 2 years is around INR 28.7 lakhs.

Worth

It’s impossible to evaluate correctly if a certain B School is worth the money. Some end up with high packages while some with low packages. Also, ROU is a broad term and cannot be determined by just the package you receive. Most of the time I have seen the lives of people with low packages change after their first job. So the initial package is just a stepping stone and not a deciding factor.

Placements 

Some major companies that visit the campus for placements are Aditya Birla Capital, EY, Capgemini, Cognizant, ICICI Bank, etc.

Is joining School of Law, NMIMS (Mumbai) worth it for a BA LLB? How good is the faculty? Do they have a hostel facility? What is the fee structure?

KB
Komal Bora Posted On : February 28th, 2023
MBA from SVKM's NMIMS (Graduated 2018)

In case you are not able to make it into the top 6 National Law Universities, considering NMIMS law school is definitely a good choice. The school has updates to the semester system which earlier was a trimester one. 

Faculty: The institute is expanding at a fast rate and its faculty is also changing, bringing in more dynamic staff. The faculty is proficient in their respective fields and adopts the best pedagogy. 

Fees: The total NMIMS B.A.L.L.B. fees for this session is INR 5.1 L - 15 L.

Hostel fees: Boys- INR 1.60 L - 2.35 L/yr; Girls- IN 1.60 L - 2.35 L/yr.

However, the hostels are highly not recommended owing to the following reasons

  • Only 6 seats for law students
  • Non A/C accommodation 
  • Strict rules and timings

What is the total cost incurred in doing your MBA from NMIMS Mumbai?

S
Sneha Posted On : February 28th, 2023
Lived in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

The following answer is based on my brother’s experience at NMIMS and may vary from person to person depending on their own personal expenses and standard of living. The table below shows the NMIMS MBA fee structure.

Particulars 

Data

Total Fees

INR 23.90 Lakhs

Hostel fees (Non-Refundable)

INR 2,25,000- 3,00,000

Hostel fees (Refundable)

INR 10,000

From the above data the approximate cost is 26-27 Lakhs. The additional expenses like hanging out, fares, and miscellaneous activities can amount to 1 Lakh. 

Now let’s consider you staying in a flat and not a hostel. The MBA fees remain the same. But the living expenses are considerably cut down. My friend lives in a flat with 5 people and shared her average expenses.

  • The rental expense was 10k
  • The security deposit was 1 lakh
  • 6-8k per month for electricity bills and grocery shopping
  • An additional 2-3k for hanging out 
  • The average auto fare would be 3k per month
  • The rough average is 20k per month and if you calculate the same for 21 months it amounts to 4.2 Lakh.

The total expenses including tuition fees amount to 30-33 Lakhs. I think it’s better to go to a hostel than to a flat.

How is the food in IBS Hyderabad?

RC
Rima Chakraborty Posted On : February 14th, 2023
HR / Engineer

Commenting on the taste of food is subjective and totally depends on one’s taste buds. While some may enjoy a certain dish others may dislike it. So for the definite answer, you will have to personally taste the food to know if it’s good or not.

The food is provided through a 4-meal per day program including breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. They keep changing the variety of food offered so as to meet the tastes of everyone in general. 

There are 2 Mess facilities at IBS Hyderabad one is close to the boy's hostel while one is closer to the girl's hostel. You can get enrolled in any one of your choices at your convenience.

There are gingers on the ground floor of hostels to cater to your midnight cravings and birthday parties.

Overall the food served at IBS Hyderabad is decent, hygienic, and healthy and is better than many other colleges.
