IIM Calcutta has four hostels for PGP students, two of which are co-ed and the other two are boys' hostels.
The rooms are more than adequate for a 50+-year-old, long-established institution. The most recent hostel is the Lake View Hostel, which was built in 2008. The other hostels are basic, but the facilities and power backup are fairly similar. The rooms are quite large, the beds are comfortable, and, most importantly, there are individual balconies.
IIM Calcutta has 3 major hostels i.e. Old Hostel, White Hostel, and New Hostel. Old Hostel is a co-ed hostel with a separate wing for girls. Whereas the White Hostel and New Hostels are both boys hostels. There is also another hostel under construction and will be functional from the next session.
All of the hostels are equipped with the necessary amenities. The facilities of the newest hostels are of international standards with spacious rooms and French windows opening up to a balcony. All the hostels have common rooms for group discussions and project planning. There are also game rooms and courts for various sports in all hostels. The hostels are designed in a way to help students easily adapt to the new environment.
