How is hostel life in the Madras Institute of Technology? What is the hostel GATE closing time?

During my brother’s college days, they roam around freely as there was no fence. But now, to get into the hostel zone of MIT, you must walk around the fence. One of the primary difficulties for dormitory students should be this. However, this has been done from a managerial standpoint to improve safety.

• The hostel zone takes up about a third of the overall campus space, making it one of the smallest in Tamil Nadu.
• A great area filled with trees for convenience and to enable interactions with all of the batchmates, juniors, and seniors, was too compact, yet too good.
• The smaller the campus, the shorter the distance between MITians.
• As the hostels are close to one another, the students are easily connected to all of their fellow MITians.
• The only disadvantage is that the playground with extra dorms is located through the main gate, which is very far.
• Except for breakfast, hostel messes were always full. However, even at that time, a single plate is shared by a large group of friends.
• Students rush into the mess at 8.25 a.m. to smuggle their breakfast onto their friend's plate.

Everything that happens there, from department slides to songs, films, IPL games, MITAFEST, and so on, introduces MITians to a new universe in which they not only sit and watch but also shout, dance, and play on stage.

Hostel gate closing timings are 6:00 pm for first-year engineering students. 9:00 pm for girls and 10:00 pm for boys respectively.
