IIT Mandi has a variety of different types of hostels, each with their own occupancy and room arrangements. Generally, students in IIT Mandi's hostels share rooms with one or more other students. The exact number of students per room can vary depending on the campus you are allotted.
IIT Mandi has 2 campuses namely the North Campus and the South Campus.
When my sister was in IIT Mandi, first what students were allotted were triple occupancy rooms for boys and double occupancy rooms for girls. Now, the situation is expected to have improved, and there might be double or triple for boys and single for girls.
Usually, the south campus has multiple seater rooms while the North campus has single rooms. Additionally, Ph.D. students are allotted single rooms.
My friend stays at IIT Mandi's hostel for girls and she has a room for herself and the facilities are good. It is an excellent institute, being an IIT, it ranks #31 on the NIRF Engineering ranking list. In 2018, girls had to share rooms and two girls stayed in one room. IIT Mandi has two campuses called the North and South campuses respectively.
