How many roommates can stay in one hostel room at IIT Bhubaneswar?

All students who have registered for full-time courses in the institute have to live in the

hostel. The rules and regulations of the institute govern the hostels.

• In the beginning, for at least six to eight months, as a fresher, you will live in double-occupancy rooms. This is to make sure that you and other fellow newcomers are not affected by homesickness and isolation.

• IITs attract students from a broad variety of backgrounds from across the nation. It promotes cross-cultural relationships. This will help you to socialize and create a sense of security with others.

• All the allotted rooms have a set of furniture and fittings in each room. They consist of a bed for each inmate as well as a table, chair, ceiling fan with a regulator, and light fitting.

• From the second year onward, you will be able to live in separate rooms with single occupancy in the hostel. The basis for such an allotment is to encourage students to focus more on their studies.

• Throughout your stay in the hostel, you are not allowed to exchange rooms or furniture and fittings with other students. To do so you should get an allowance from hall management.

• The hall management consists of the warden, assistant warden/wardens, the council of wardens or hall councils, and hall managers.
