The hostel facilities at IIIT Bhagalpur are currently in rented accommodations due to the ongoing construction of the permanent campus, expected to be completed by mid-2023. Hostel fees are around INR 22,000 per semester, with mess fees ranging from INR 16,000 to INR 17,000. Accommodation is mandatory, with rooms typically shared by three students and equipped with beds, study tables, chairs, almirahs, and LAN internet connections. Hostels provide 24/7 electricity and water supply, with additional amenities like RO water, a balcony, and common areas for recreation.
Separate hostels exist for boys and girls across different years to minimize ragging. The mess offers three to four meals daily, including North and South Indian options, and non-vegetarian dishes a few times a week. While meal quality is considered average, breakfast is generally well-rated. The registration process is straightforward and conducted during college admission. The facilities are described as adequate, despite some issues with water shortages and occasional power cuts.
