How are the hostels and the facilities for first-year students in SVNIT?

As a senior I would advise you to never compare your hostel with your home. Hostel life is a unique experience, and you’ll meet people from various backgrounds and cultures. Hostel life will have something in store for you, irrespective of who you are and where you are from. 

Fresher boys are allotted Gajjar Bhawan at SVNIT. It is a four storey building, located at the end corner of the campus. The building is in a good condition with proper air circulation. It is furnished and painted. It is huge enough to also house M.Tech 2nd years and hostel workers. The fresher rooms are spacious and double seater. You’ll get a single room from second year onwards. The rooms are allotted randomly at the time of hostel admission. 

Each room contains two beds, two mattresses and mattress covers, two pillows and pillow covers ( depends upon availability), two chairs, two study tables, one big iron cupboard, one white board, one green board, one LAN connection port and a LAN cable, curtains on the windows, mosquito nets, one fan, three charging slots, one tubelight and one lamp.

The hostel has common washrooms, payable but affordable laundry facility, unlimited Wifi and LAN facility with high speed internet, clean surroundings, the lounge room has English, Hindi and Gujarati daily newspapers, along with some monthly magazines, there is a cycle parking on the ground floor, there are 2-3 table tennis courts, a volleyball ground, a small library, a study room, a TV room, a night canteen and a computer lab with internet facility. 

These are some of the facilities available at the first year hostel. Overall, the hostels at SVNIT are good enough.
