IET Lucknow has a total of 6 boys’ hostels on campus. B.Tech first-year students (boys) are accommodated in a room shared by a total of 4 students. However, you will only get 3 cupboards and it will be shared among 4 students.

Ramanujam Hostel is one of the best of all. You will get 24*7 electricity and a water supply. It is a 4-floor structure with the ground, 1st and 2nd floor accommodating 4 students each in one room while the topmost floor accommodates 3 students.

In rare circumstances, if your luck favors and any allotment remains vacant you may get a triple sharing room. You may change your room if you like on certain special circumstances such as medical but there is no guarantee that you will get triple, double, or single sharing rooms.

The chances are very bleak and almost non-existent. 

Nowadays, PEC is going through a space crunch, since the number of seats has been increased by a large amount in recent years. Authorities give top priority to students from outside the Chandigarh quota. 

New hostels are being considered and Shivalik Hostel was recently expanded into a new block, the lack of rooms to house all of the students comfortably is still a sore point. The number of seats has increased but hostel capacity remained the same. 

Hence, by chance, if Hostels do not get filled up completely, you can definitely get a hostel at PEC. So, unless a new batch of students shows a great reduction in hostlers, you should not expect to get accommodations in the hostel.

I have some friends at the institute, so I can give you some information on the hostel facilities provided on campus. The student has a choice to stay within the hostel at Brainware University or to live by themselves. 

• The girl's hostel and the boy's hostel are inside the campus of Brainware University. 
• All hostels have resident wardens to whom students will associate if they have any kind of problem. 
• Hostel rooms are spacious and follow a strict no ragging policy.
• The hostel fees include 4 meals in a day.

The below table has brief information about the hostel charges:

You will have an excellent time living within the hostel at Brainware University.

One of my friends lives in the PEC Chandigarh hostel, so I can give you basic information every hostler there may know. 

1. Locals: If you are local, then you have to wait a bit to get a hostel. Approximately it takes 2 weeks of time to allot rooms to locals. You also have to submit a written application to DSA with attached address proof. 
2. Room: Every first-year student has to share his room with another fresher. After the first year, students are eligible to stay in a single room.
3. Mess: The food quality of the hostel mess is not worth the fees you pay for it. On special days or occasions, special meals are served to the students, which is of good quality as compared to normal days.
4. Electricity and Water: Hostel has a good supply of electricity and water. So, students don’t have to worry about it.
5. Hostel Timings: There is no restriction of timing in the hostel. You can go out of the hostel and can come back at any time. 
6. Laundry: Every student gets laundry service at the hostel. But laundry allowance is not included in hostel fees, so students have to pay separately for it. Also, avoid giving expensive clothes in the laundry, as it might get ruined. 
7. Wifi: The campus has Wifi connectivity around the campus. It faces some network problems, but its speed is good.
8. Cleanness: Hostels are not clean and tidy, neither the washrooms and toilets. Except, the newly constructed building, Shivalik C Block, which is clean. It is better that you keep your room clean, though. 
9. Ragging: There is no ragging at the hostel campus. You will have an introductory session with seniors both in college and a hostel. The introduction is done with a few fun activities so that freshers easily get to mingle with seniors. 

Therefore, hostel life at Punjab Engineering College is overall good. Apart from this, freshers also get hostel parties besides college fresher’s parties. So, the overall experience of PEC is good.

Yes, you can get a hostel at PEC University if you live in Chandigarh. But Punjab Engineering College has its own procedure to allot hostels to students. 

• As per University procedure, firstly University will allot hostel rooms to students living outside Chandigarh. 
• The remaining seats after the allotment will later be given to waiting list students including locals and students with Chandigarh Quota. 
• PEC has huge hostel promises and enough rooms for students. You do not need to worry about not getting the seats. One of my cousins who is a local is also staying in the PEC hostel. 
• You might have to wait a bit to get a hostel. Approximately it takes 2 weeks of time to allot rooms to locals. 
• You also have to submit a written application to DSA with attached address proof.

Therefore, yes Chandigarh locals get hostels. As PEC hostels are big enough to accommodate all students.
