Do 1st year MTech students in IIT Madras get single rooms?

Yes, students who fall into the following criteria are given single rooms:

All second-year B.Tech students.

All P.G. students and research scholars.

The rooms are generously sized and equipped with LAN connections for internet use. With washing machines, urinals, and several toilet and bathing stalls, each hostel wing features a communal set of toilets that are used by about 8 rooms. Additionally, the hostels frequently feature an ironing board, a refrigerator, and other amenities.

In addition to these amenities, the hostels also have multiple common areas, music rooms, libraries, and sports facilities like basketball, football, or badminton courts.

Earlier it was slightly difficult to secure a hostel room in 1st semester but with the establishment of a new hostel, this process has been alleviated. There are higher chances of acquiring a single room second semester onwards.

A number of first-year students in M.Tech have had the privilege of possessing the entire room to themselves. Precisely, students are given this facility from the beginning of their semester.
