JIPMER Hostel Fees 2025, Facilities, Rooms, Food, Photos

JIPMER messes serve good quality food. You can either pay the monthly fee and have your meals in a single mess, or you can visit any mess and pay for that meal. You can also change your mess monthly. This is a really good system as it helps beat monotony. 

The common mess serves both North and South Indian dishes, separately. Addons like chicken 65, fish, omelet, egg, chicken gravy, etc. can be obtained at very affordable prices. The breakfast consists of idli, dosa, Pongal, poori, bread, jam, and sometimes noodles as well. 

During lunch, you’ll get rice, sambhar, rasam, curd, one vegetable, chapati/poori, curry, salad, and papad. The messes serve good snacks with beverages. During dinner, Uthappam/Poori/chapati with rice and curry is served. Dosas, juices, cold drinks, and other food items are available in the common mess and cafeterias at very cheap prices. 

The hostel food at JIPMER is of good quality and good taste. The best part is that the meals are very affordable.

A close friend of mine shared a few pictures of her hostel room at JIPMER. This is Curie 1 and the little garden attached to it. My friend enjoyed staying at Curie 1 more than Curie 2 because the life here was more vibrant. 

The view from her balcony shows PG men's hostel and the two basketball courts in between

The room with the green curtain belonged to my friend and the first door towards the right is the washroom for the set of rooms that are in the corridor

This is the wash area with provision for drying clothes

This is what her room in Curie 1 looked like as a whole.

The rooms in Curie 2 are much bigger. 

I hope the pictures helped you get a clear idea of the girls' hostel facilities at JIPMER. 

I am an alumnus of JIPMER. Here are the details on the hostel and mess facilities at JIPMER.

Most hostels are located in the hostel complex. The male UG students get rooms in Osler House, Lister House or Intern's Boys Hostel. The Intern’s Boys Hostel is newly built and has better rooms.

Each hostel has a study room, a recreational room, and good wifi facilities. The Intern’s Boys hostel has good and spacious rooms. The hostel rooms are two seater rooms.The Intern’s Boys Hostel has attached washrooms, but Osler and Lister have common washrooms. Each hostel room has a balcony. There is a parking space behind the hostels. 

There are two major messes on campus. The Common Mess offers both North and South Indian meals. Additional food items are available at cheap prices. The common mess operates till late night. 

Harvey Mess serves South Indian meals only. They serve delicious chicken items that are available at cheap prices. Some external kitchens also offer mess service for students. Other than messes, the canteens (EMS Cafeteria and Lister Canteen) offer good meals at affordable prices. The food served at each of the messes and canteens is of good quality. 

JIPMER offers good hostel and mess facilities overall.
