Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital Pondicherry Hostel Fees 2026, Facilities, Rooms, Food, Photos

The hostel accommodates over 2,000 students and 200 staff families, with rooms designed for two occupants but comfortably fitting one. The annual hostel fee ranges from Rs 90,000 to Rs 1.6 lakh, with an additional Rs 75,000 for air conditioning. There is criticism about the lack of air conditioning and the small room sizes.

The mess food, while hygienic and varied, receives mixed reviews regarding taste, with some complaints about cleanliness. Students have a say in the menu choices. Facilities include a hygienic canteen offering diverse cuisines at subsidized rates, a herbal garden, an effluent treatment plant, and rainwater harvesting. The college covers research expenses and doubles prize amounts won in external events.

Hostel amenities are considered inadequate for the fees charged, with some recommending alternative accommodations outside the campus.
