One of my friends graduated from NLU Delhi and also after checking the reviews online, I can share these details about the hostels, which might be useful for you.
Do keep in mind that a single occupancy hostel room here, only means a bed, a table and chair, a wardrobe, and electrical plug points and implements. No separate bathroom or anything of the sort is facilitated.
ABV IIITM has three boys’ hostels and one girls’ hostel. In the first year, you will get accommodation based on your batch. You will either have a flat mate or a single occupancy during only the first year of the course you are enrolled in. You are afterwards required to shift to a new hostel where your period of stay will remain for the remaining college years (that is, 3-4 years).
However, in all the aforementioned cases, you are supposed to obtain a chair, a table, an almirah, some of the storage spaces niched on the walls and on top of a cupboard, and 2 sets of 3 spaced shelves. It comes double in number if your room has been designed for places of two.
The good news is, once the final allotment of a permanent room has been completed in the second year, you are free to buy your own personalized furniture items, such as a chair or anything as per your wish.
The rooms of the institutional hostel are of a decent size for single occupancy and are provided with the bare minimum essentials like a single fan, and adequate lighting. But, other non-essential luxuries such as coolers, heaters, ACs, and even better furniture are to be bought with personal expenditure.
Alongside, other crucial gadgets like fridges and washing machines are usually bought as a clubbed expense, by groups of friends having almost nearby room attachments or living door-by-door to one another.
Apparently, as witnessed, hostels here can be counted upon for all the basic amenities required for minimal staying purposes. You are also free to decorate your room as you wish to. That being said, the institute provides basic needs, and if students require more, they can amend as they wish to.
According to recent guidelines by the MCI, the first years now have the 3rd floor of the girls’ hostel all to themselves.
The hostel overall is decent by the government hostel standards. There are cats everywhere though. Food could be a major problem, especially for vegetarian students, but they are trying to come up with newer options. The common room is huge, which is also the common dining hall.
The rooms are not big enough for 3 people, yet they have to share them. Each room has 3 beds which take up the spaces for proper bookshelves and a table-chair. The corridors do not have dustbins and thus the corridor gets frequently littered.
It will take some time to get adjusted to it, but overall it is a nice place to be in.
Married accommodation is not readily available on campus, but on request, IIMK can facilitate locating suitable accommodation for students, in proximate areas.
My sister's batch had 2 married students. The institute assigned them an extra room for spouses in the women's hostel. If your roommates are okay with it, then your spouse can visit you for a few days.
Outside facilities are also available for spouses' accommodation. But then the transport expenses will have to be taken care of.
Although students may be told that they won't get a hostel in earlier stages after waiting for a few days the students in the Chandigarh quota can get a hostel in PEC. But there is some process that needs to be completed in order to get a hostel in PEC.
You have to submit an application to the hostel warden and you have to mention your reason clearly, why do you need a hostel after being from Chandigarh as they don't provide hostel facilities to the students belonging from Tricity (Mohali, Chandigarh & Panchkula).
But the first preference is always given to the students who are taking admission through all India quota and they are allotted the hostel rooms first. But after a few weeks from their allotment of hostel rooms, the students in the Chandigarh quota who have applied and submitted an application will get the hostel rooms.
Yes, students must stay in the XLRI hostels for at least the first year of their program. This is because XLRI thinks that the hostel experience is an essential component of the entire learning process, and it assists students in developing a strong sense of community and camaraderie. XLRI hostel rooms are single occupancy, and each room has its own bathroom .Pets are not permitted in the XLRI hostel accommodations.
My cousin is currently studying in LNCT Bhopal and he stays in a PG too. If you are looking for some good stays nearby LNCT then you can go for the following localities that have good pgs.
Although it totally depends on your preferences, the best localities for joining some coaching or arts/theatre clubs are MP Nagar like Bharti Niketan, Gautam Nagar, and all the places nearby Chetak.
While if you are just a fresher in the college, it is highly recommended to go for hostels and enjoy the hostel life for at least one year. You will also get hostels in all these places mentioned above, as the LNCT campus hostels are full of restrictions such as in and out timings, bad mess food facilities, and no complaint board, etc.
One of my cousins recently graduated from NIT Arunachal Pradesh. He has shared his hostel experience with me:
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.
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.
The hostels in Ganpat University are better than the hostels of Govt. colleges. The rooms are big and well-ventilated. All rooms have a big study table, a small shelf for books and a big cupboard for clothes and other things. Each hostel also has a common drinking point on the ground floor. Every hostel has a separate mess.
The university has a complex near all hostels, where you can buy the things that you need in day-to-day life. Most students prefer New Uma hostel. Ganpat University hostel fee is around INR 24,500 (total).
