Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences - [Karunya Deemed University], Coimbatore - Hostel Details

As you start a new chapter of your life, the question does come to mind regarding what to pack for your new hostel room here are a few tips for you. Below I’ve listed some essential items that you must pack with you.

• Clothes: You should ideally carry both formals and informal so that you are ready for all occasions.
• Bedding: Karunya hostel provides you a bed but you’ll have to carry your mattress, pillow, bedsheet, blanket/quilt, and pillow covers. If you find carrying so much luggage cumbersome, you could think of buying these items locally.
• Toiletries: Your essential toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, oil, etc must be packed. You must get a bucket and mug too!
• Medicine Kit: Keep essential medicines such as those for headaches, cough, cold, fever, stomach upset, cuts and bruises, and band-aid ready at hand.
• Documents: Originals and photocopies of mark sheets, admit cards, certificates, acceptance and offer letters, domicile certificate, multiple copies of photographs (preferably in formals), and Aadhar card.
• Money: Remember to carry ready cash with you, but stash it in different bags and pockets to minimize the loss in case of theft. Don’t forget to bring an ATM Card.
• Laptop and Data card: Cell phone and laptop The college provides Internet access with WiFi in hostels. However, it makes sense, therefore, to invest in a dongle or WiFi of your own.
• Stationery: It is always a good idea to have a stationery kit containing a scientific calculator and basic stuff ready at hand.
• General Items: This would be depending on your preferences. For example, you may need to keep mosquito repellent, sunglasses, reading lamps, locks and keys, umbrellas, keyrings, flashlights, and other such items.

All the best!

I have a few friends from Karunya University. According to them, the hostel facilities are quite good. 

• In the first and second year, you will have to stay in 4-seater rooms with four random people. In the third or fourth year, you can change to single seater/4-seater/6-seater rooms. For single-seater rooms, you will have to pay an extra 5,000 each semester.
• Every room in the hostel is facilitated with a proper cot, tube lights, study table, clean bathrooms, housekeeping, and proper ventilation. You can also use a wall shelf for keeping your belongings. The rooms are spacious. However, the rooms are non-ac.
