IIT Delhi has stopped providing on-campus hostel facilities to PG MTech students specially bound mainly due to the shortage of Hostel rooms inside the campus. Earlier they used to provide off-campus hostels that were in pathetic conditions. But starting from 2020, they have even stopped providing these off-campus hostels and students are expected to arrange for their accommodation.
The students have to go to the hostel inside the campus for mess food and have to roam around without any permanent on-campus residence. Moreover, so much distance between their off campus residence and the college wastes a lot of time and they can hardly spare time for doing additional things like studying for an entrance exam.
New hostels are being built to accommodate MTech students and hopefully, in the coming future you might see better hostel facilities for PG students.
The key to manage your UPSC preparation while doing an MTech from IIT Delhi is to score well in your optional subjects rather than General Subjects. A successful candidate scores 275+ in optional whereas an unsuccessful candidate scores around 240. The General Subjects' scores are usually the same.
So prepare well for optional in MTech because you can prepare for GS in just a year. Focus more on optional as it’s a major criterion for selection.
IIT Delhi has both old as well as new hostels and obviously the new ones have better facilities and infrastructure. The new hostels are Girnar and Udaigiri and have spacious rooms and have 8 floors each with a total of 400 rooms in each hostel. These hostels have a big crowd which means a bigger hostel family to interact with during events. The mess facilities are also considerably better and bigger than old hostels.
The old hostel buildings have only 3-4 floors with smaller rooms and less facilities. But these hostels have a nostalgia associated with many toppers who are successful people today. This spirit keeps the ambiance of these old hostels lively.
Honestly, I wouldn’t say one hostel is better than the other. Every hostel has its unique aspects and cannot be compared.
As for the choice of hostels, no, you cannot choose your hostel. It is allotted to you randomly at the time of admission, every hostel having a mixed bag of students. You cannot change your hostel unless it’s a serious issue.

For PhD students, their advisors are the determining factors for most of their decisions. The compatibility between the two is crucial for good research work and a PhD degree. IIT Delhi does not have very friendly professors and most of them are not willing to help you. This might hinder your performance.

I would rather recommend you go for Uber than join Google (India). A few reasons that justify my opinion are

With no specific area of interest, the best option for you is IIT Delhi Biotechnology. Here are a few points to support my opinion
IIT Delhi is the dream college of many owing to the excellent brand name and opportunities it offers. Trust me, once you are inside your branch will hardly matter.
IIT Delhi Textile department is still in its infancy and unfortunately, is one of the least demanded branches. The scope and opportunities offered are meager. To put it rightly, it does not do justice to the brand name of IIT Delhi.
Many people think that this branch might somehow open opportunities for them if they involve themselves in extracurricular activities and so but then the entire purpose of the department is negated. Still, for the most desperate, this might be the only option. So, it’s advisable to go to this branch only if it’s the last option you have.
