IIMC - Indian Institute of Management, Kolkata - Hostel Details

It's fine unless you're not used to eating mess food. In that case, you may grow tired of the same dishes. Food isn't an issue if you don't mind spending a little money – now and then to eat out. You could also pay extra and have a few extra items made from the mess for yourself. 

The mess is run by the student body, and you can bargain over the prices and menu items. The real problem is that mess workers are members of the local union and thus have some bargaining power, which is common in West Bengal.

IIM Calcutta has four hostels for PGP students, two of which are co-ed and the other two are boys' hostels.

The rooms are more than adequate for a 50+-year-old, long-established institution. The most recent hostel is the Lake View Hostel, which was built in 2008. The other hostels are basic, but the facilities and power backup are fairly similar. The rooms are quite large, the beds are comfortable, and, most importantly, there are individual balconies.
