The hostel offers affordable accommodation and dining, with annual fees around 7,000 rupees and daily meal costs approximately 50 rupees. There are separate facilities for boys and girls, with room options including single, double, and triple sharing. Triple sharing is notably more cost-effective. The hostel enforces a vegetarian-only meal plan in alignment with Gandhian principles and serves meals via a large mess capable of accommodating 500 diners simultaneously. Only students residing over 60 km away are eligible for accommodation, with a specific allowance for those living beyond 150 km.
The hostel features four blocks: Kasturba, Manimeglai, Kannagi, and Soundaram, and provides additional amenities such as a cooperative store. Despite some concerns about congestion and limited food portions, the hostel is praised for its peaceful environment due to its location at the foothills of Sirumalai.
