A senior of mine from school used to be a student of NIT Jamshedpur. She has said that the first-year students are given the mega hostel. It is the best building of NIT Jamshedpur. My senior was so comfortable in her hostel that she often used to skip classes to stay indoors.

There are drawbacks too as listed below: 

  • Internet connection is lacking in the hostels but the administration is working on it.
  • You will have to walk 150 meters for food.
  • You will also get indoor game facilities like table tennis in the hostels of NIT Jamshedpur.

My senior found her hostel very comfortable while she was a student there.

  • There are basketball courts, tennis courts as well on the campus. 
  • The hostels have sufficient space for balconies. In the backyards of the hostels, there are also open-air theaters. 
  • Along with that, there are also four elevators in the hostel.

Can I get vegetarian food in the NEIGRIHMS Shillong hostel mess? I am a pure vegetarian hailing from Rajasthan.

AB
Anumita Biswas Posted On : September 30th, 2023
North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences

You’ll face a problem regarding mess food if you are a vegetarian. 

The girls’ mess still provides an alternative option when non-vegetarian dishes are served, but the boys’ mess offers no alternative. The mess food is poor in taste. As a vegetarian, you’ll end up spending around Rs. 3000 per month eating from the Cafeteria or Guest House. The boys’ mess serves no roti, only rice. The girls’ mess offers roti and comparatively better food.

Other than the food at the mess, everything else is top-notch at NEIGRIHMS.

Can you give a brief description of IIM Sambalpur (pros/cons, campus life, placement, hostel life, faculty, facilities, and anything else that you can add on)?

RD
Ridhhi Dogra Posted On : February 10th, 2023
Studied at Indian Institute of Management Sambalpur

In the middle of picturesque hilltops in Odisha, IIM Sambalpur is situated. Here, you can wake up to beautiful sunshine and humid weather every morning, which will give you energy. However, this morning brings with it a rush to finish eating breakfast and get to the academic block in time for your classes.

The Academic block is a short walk from the Hostel blocks. Our classrooms are fully equipped with air conditioning, comfortable seating, and modern equipment. We have experienced faculty from a variety of backgrounds, both in-house and visiting institutes such as IIM A, B, C, XLRI, and others.

After classes, your day spins around in all directions. In the evening, you typically attend meetings and enjoyable events from various clubs and committees that are put on by students. If you don't have anything like that, you can go out with your friends to the Hirakud dam, Right dyke, or take a long drive all the way to the main city for fun. You can also participate in those based on your interests, hobbies, or preferences for volunteer work.

Following dinner, some students participate in outdoor sports such as badminton, cricket, football, and so on, or indoor sports such as chess and table tennis, or watch television in the common room. You meet your academic groups, project groups, and so on to do the work, which usually takes most of the nights in the hostel block's discussion areas.

However, these moments of shared work always strengthen batchmates' bonds. Some of the pros and cons are mentioned below:

Pros:

  • IIM Sambalpur is located close to a large number of big industries, providing opportunities for real-life experiential learning for students.
  • The Innovation and Incubation Cell (IIC) of IIM Sambalpur helps in the promotion of startup development and has recently partnered with Flipkart to support small weavers and artisans.
  • As a new IIM, students have the opportunity to witness the development of the institute from its core.
  • IIM Sambalpur has consistently been ranked 2nd amongst the new IIMs and holds a position among the Top 30 in the overall MBA Universe Ranking 2022.
  • The institute follows a Flipped Classroom methodology, which is a unique concept aimed at promoting overall development both inside and outside of the classroom.
  • IIM Sambalpur has the highest gender diversity among all other 3rd generation IIMs.
  • The location of the institute is away from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan areas, providing a peaceful and calm environment amidst the rush of MBA life.
  • The IIM tag and connections to IIM alumni in the IIM community can provide valuable networking opportunities.

Cons:

  • As a 3rd generation IIM, the institute is relatively new and may take some time to fully develop.
  • The institute follows a schedule with working days on Saturday and Sunday, which may not be suitable for all students.
  • Students may be compared to graduates of older and more established IIMs, which may be an unnecessary source of stress.

How is the hostel facility for girls at haldia institute of technology? Is there any kind of strict rules and regulations?

DS
Deepa Singh Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
Studied B.Tech Electrical Engineering,Haldia Institute of Technology

One of my friends was a student of the Haldia Institute of Technology and as she was from Delhi, she had to opt for the hostel. As much as I remember she had no problem with the hostel facilities but there were a few non-major issues she had. 

  • She wasn’t much habitual of living away from her family so she wasn’t comfortable with the food of the hostel as the taste wasn’t much homely. 
  • Besides this, the hostel is well-constructed and the rooms are well-maintained with moderate bathrooms.
  • Moreover, you will be provided with the laundry facilities which is quite helpful. 
  • Apart from this, the main concern for parents remains the security of their children. For this, the university has provided high security in the hostel. This includes the round-the-clock security guards plus the warden which keeps a good record of the students’ in and out time. 
  • You will have to follow in and out time properly. Failing to do so, the warden may call your guardians and that may be a blunder to you. The timings for students’ in time is 7:30 pm and you have to stick to it anyhow. 

Therefore, the hostels are quite amazing with all the security you’d as for.
