I am a fresher at NIT Kurukshetra, residing in H2 boys hostel. I will describe the condition of boys hostels at NIT Kurukshetra using my limited knowledge-

1. Freshers are allotted 3 seater rooms which are small and old.
2. H1, H2 and H3 hostels do not have Wifi facilities. Instead they have WLAN which is useful only if you have a laptop or a router.
3. The student committee of each hostel decides the menu. It is a good thing that the choice of meals is handled by the students themselves.
4. Overall the hostels are great. They have open grounds where you can play sports like tt, chess, badminton, volleyball, etc., given that you arrange the required equipment.
5. You can watch tv till 10 pm in the common rooms. You can also read newspapers over there.
6. During 1st month, freshers can only travel to their classes and back. This is done to ensure that there is no ragging.
7. Once the freshers party is done with, you can enjoy all the freedom.

NIT Kurukshetra hostels are good. You will enjoy your time over here.

My brother was a student at NIT Kurukshetra and was allotted a room in H-3 Chakrdhar Bhawan on the campus. He had two other roommates from Rajasthan. Initially, he felt awkward sharing his living space with someone else but after a few days, he adapted well to it. They became great friends, who would discuss papers and help each other in preparing for tests. He realized that the rooms and food don’t make hostel life but your friends do.

He befriended some really good people who became his supporters in the first year. They would help her in all times of need and hang out in their free time. 

He had the best hostel life experience thanks to his amazing friends and the room and the hostel have a special place in his heart. He heard from his friends at other colleges like NIT Patna, VIT Vellore, BITS Goa, etc. that their hostel life was rather restrictive.

He was glad he chose BIT Kurukshetra which gave him some amazing memories and friends for life.

Also, it would be a good idea to bring a few basic cleaning supplies to keep your room clean and tidy.

There are a total of four hostels allotted for the institute. A single room is given for each student, and each section is divided into H-7, H-8, H-9, and H-10 for the BTech students. Among them, H-10 is newly constructed, allotted for second-year students, and has all the facilities, including the water cooler, internet facility, and so on. The other hostels have poor facilities and are not properly maintained. You can also switch to H-10 with the permission of the authorities.
