The hostel life at SSN College of Engineering is worth remembering. It is a place that unites all the students and builds innumerable memories apart from different cultural and financial backgrounds, therefore giving you a family-like feeling away from your home.

Btech Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal (2020)

Hostel life at NITK is great and teaches a lot of things that you will carry forever. People here are cooperative and friendly, willing to assist you in any way possible.

  1. Diversity- The student crowd is very diverse, from the north and south India allotted random rooms that let you expose yourself to students with different backgrounds across India. Upon interaction, you gain a lot of knowledge and insight.
  2. Seniors- You can approach any senior during or after your class hours, or even interact with them during a sport. The connections with seniors are certainly going to benefit you in the future as they not only help you to settle into college life but also help when it comes to switching jobs and recommendations. 
  3. Physical Fitness- The campus is equipped with a swimming pool, playgrounds, and a gym where students are allowed to play and workout even before exam time. You can regularly enjoy playing any sport of your choices like cricket, badminton, football or basketball.
  4. Leisure time- Whenever you have a lot of free time in your hands, you can invest it in your hobby or any club that you are interested in. There is definitely going to be free time when you are in your hostel room. 
  5. Electricity- There are huge generators, in spite of that whenever there are power cuts, they last long, though it rarely happens. 
  6. Food- The mess food is not that good as said by many students. The student council has now made many changes which are going to improve the food quality. There are several canteens and food points also available in case you don't like mess food. 

Other than this, you can go on trips with your hostel mates whenever there is a holiday. Some of the interesting destinations are Goa, Mangalore, Kerala, etc. Thus, the overall hostel experience at NITK Surathkal is pretty amazing.

What are the hostel accommodation charges of NMIMS Shirpur and Mumbai Campus? Is it included in the fees showed on the website?

GH
Gargi Halder Posted On : June 29th, 2021
B.Tech CSE, IIT BHU (2018)

Well, no the hostel fees are not included in the course fees shown on the website, you have to pay them separately. The accommodation charges for the NMIMS Shirpur campus and Mumbai campus vary from each other. I have friends studying on both campuses and they are currently paying the following charges.

  • For NMIMS Shirpur campus the fees are roughly 1,20,000 per year which includes both accommodation and mess food. There are separate hostels for boys and girls within the campus itself where you get facilities like Dining Hall TV Room, Reading Room, PlayGround, Transport Facility, Medical Facility, Staff Quarters, Gym Facility, Saloons.
  • For NMIMS Mumbai, the hostel fee can range from 1.3 to 1.5 lakh for 10 months which can be quite expensive. You get full-fledged hostels for girls and boys and three rented residential accommodations. The facilities are great and almost the same as the Shirpur campus. However, many students usually form groups and rent a flat near the campus which is less costly.

All in all, hostel fees especially at the Mumbai campus can be very expensive despite four-seater rooms. Also, preference is given to students who are from outside Mumbai. If you have budget constraints, you can easily rent a flat near the campus with your friends as most students do.

What are the best hostels to stay for the students who study at NIRMA Institute of Technology?

AB
Ashmita Bose Posted On : June 29th, 2021
M.Tech CAD CAM, Nirma University (2019)

My cousin completed his B.Tech from Nirma Institute of Technology who stayed in the community hostel named Saurashtra Kadva Patel Samaj situated in Gandhinagar. However, he had friends from various hostels, and here is his insight about the hostels.

Hiramani: This is the most liberal hostel for students in terms of rules and timings. You can return late at night and can indulge in typical hostelling activities like playing LAN games, watching movies on the laptop, etc, as long as you aren’t disturbing others. However, many students complain about the bad quality of mess food.

SGVP: It is a gurukul of Swaminarayan, thus making it quite religious and strict in terms of rules and decorum. Honestly, if you belong to a religion other than Hinduism then you might feel uncomfortable at times. However, the food quality is one of the best as they provide really healthy and tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner. The biggest drawback of this hostel is that there are no doors in the room hence no privacy at all.

Also, check out the following restrictions you have to face if you live in SGVP.

  • You have to wake up by 6:30, take a bath, do Pooja and assemble for prayer in the evening and return to the hostel before 10:00 pm.
  • You are not allowed to make noise by playing loud games.
  • You can not watch any objectionable things on your laptop, because the rector can barge into the room at any time.
  • If you break any rule you will have to pay a fine.

Saurashtra Kadva Patel Samaj: Here, my cousin chose to live for 2 years out of his B.Tech journey. The hostel was neat and clean and fees were just 20000 for a year, however, the food was just satisfactory.

Overall, it is highly recommended for freshers to join SGVP because of cleanliness, great food, and discipline. But, if you have budget constraints, the fees might seem high. Nevertheless, it is worth the fees.

How good or bad is the XIMB campus (both old and new), especially the hostel rooms?

HC
Himani Chawdhuri Posted On : April 17th, 2021
XIMB (2018)

Both the campuses of XIMB have their advantages and disadvantages, but you don’t need to worry about the campus you are gonna get as both are part of the same family.

Hostel Rooms:

  • Life at XIMB is pretty hectic. If you want to do well in your academics, you won’t be spending much time in your room. 
  • However, the new campus has better rooms as compared to the old one. As the new campus was build later. 
  • The rooms at the old campus are pretty good too. Besides, you will have so much on your plate that you will be staying out most of the time. 
  • There is a night mess at the campus that stays open from 12-3 and most of the time it’s crowded. 

Internet:

Broadband service is pretty much good in the new campus, although the old campus still has the best broadband service compared to the new one. Fast services are not in much need as torrents do not work there.

If you have decided to study on either of the campuses, there is no need to withdraw because both campuses will give you equal life experiences and moments that you will cherish forever.

Are the rooms at NLSIU and NALSAR good?

AT
Alok Tripathi Posted On : September 8th, 2021
B.A LLB from NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad (2024)

The rooms at NLSIU hostel are more or less okay. It is a government-backed institute and we cannot compare it with NALSAR.

The rooms at NLSIU can accommodate three students. They are not very spacious and you might find it difficult to share the rooms. There is no need for AC as the weather in Hyderabad is comfortable. There are coolers for the hotter months.

In the case of NALSAR, you will be sharing your room with another student for the first three years. From the 4th year onwards, you will have your own room. The rooms are not that spacious. With the construction of new hostel buildings, the problem of overcrowding is being dealt with.
