NIT Surathkal

• First-year students of NIT Surathkal are allotted 1st and 2nd hostel blocks with double occupancy rooms.

One of my relatives has resided in NIT Warangal hostels. Based on his experience, I can give the following information:

• NIT Warangal has Asia's biggest hostel and it is given to B.Tech, M.Tech, and BCA freshers. There are both single and double rooms. 
• On the ground floor, there is a snacks corner, Amul shop, and coffee and tea shops as well. This is a hangout place for all the students. 
• There is another big hostel which is given to 3rd and 4th-year students with single and double rooms. 
• For girls, the hostels are not as good as the boys’ hostels. 
• In the first year, you will be accommodated with 4 people in one room due to space issues. 
• You will also be restricted from moving out of the hostel at any time during 1st year. 
• For the second-year students, an old hostel is provided where the washrooms desperately need renovation and the rooms are not in good condition. 
• For 3rd and 4th year, you might get good rooms which will be spacious and comfortable. Although new hostels are being developed, the facilities might change in the coming years.

When talking about NIT Surathkal, the hostel facilities are fine. In the 1st and the 2nd year, you will have sharing rooms. From the 3rd year onwards you will get single accommodations. Internet connectivity in the hostels is not very good. The girls are provided washing machines. There is a night canteen on the hostel premises. For boys, there are no in and out timings.

My cousin recently enrolled in NIT Hamirpur and definitely loves the state-of-the-art facilities. It provides and its modern infrastructure. It has excellent facilities in its 320 acres area which includes a computer centre, a library with over 100,000 books, an auditorium, a guest house, sports grounds, solar heaters, hostels, gym, and of course- lifts.

NIT Hamirpur has a lift facility in the departments which offer UG programs. Some more lifts have been added in some of the newly built hostels which are for students in the second year and beyond, much Iike NIT Nagpur has a lift in the new academic block and the new hostel.

Another point here, the New Hostels are for girls and boys in the first year, only.
