Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication Pune Hostel Fees 2026, Facilities, Rooms, Food, Photos

The hostel provides separate facilities for boys and girls, with options for 2-sharing, 3-sharing, and for boys, 4-sharing rooms. The fee structure is INR 60,000 for 2-sitter and INR 50,000 for 3-sitter rooms annually, with an additional mess charge of INR 30,000 per year for three meals a day. Rooms are spacious, equipped with individual WiFi routers, and include basic amenities like a study table and bed. While the hostel is well-maintained and hygienic, with available cleaning services at a small monthly cost (INR 200-300) and a laundry facility, cooking is not allowed, necessitating reliance on the mess.

The mess food is generally average, with breakfast being the best meal, though some students find it monotonous. Hostels enforce strict timings yet are flexible for genuine cases.

The university is reputed and rightfully so.

Hostel Facilities:

Every student is allotted a 2 sharing or 3 sharing room, each with an inbuilt washroom. Each room also has its own wifi router. The rooms are somewhat spacious. There is enough privacy also. They are not too concerned about what you do in your private space, with the exception of abusing alcohol/other substances. The hostels also have cleaning staff, so students don't have to worry about cleaning

The Pandemic Batch

Again, no idea. I also feel that these questions should be updated since most students are attending classes online. These questions not only draw blank answers from us but also evoke immense pain. Also, I don't know what to write anymore to cover 200 characters. Feels like an assignment at this point.

MBA with a difference

It's a residential course. Staying in hostels is mandatory. Hostels are on twin sharing, three sharing and 4-sharing basis. In the 1st year, you don't get a chance to choose the rooms or your room partner/s, but in the 2nd year, you are given the choice to choose both - your room partner and the rooms. It's one of the best campuses in India - on a hill-top. You witness some great views from your hostel room, and in fact all across the campus. The hostel is a 5-10 minute walk to the Academy block where the classes are being conducted. One can also use a bicycle to roam around the campus. The hostels are clean and well-maintained. Basic assets like a study table, chair, cupboard, bed, mattress, etc. are provided. Boys and Girls hostels are separate but next to each other. Hostel fee is included in the overall fee structure and an additional deposit is also taken in the beginning which is then refunded once the student passes out.

Good 2 years.

Hostel was very good and clean. There were some initial hiccups but the 2 year stay was comfortable. There was no way to cook food on your own though. There was no kitchen and we had to depend on maggi cooked in kettles for late night binges which was very often considering we were working round the clock. The food was also a problem in the mess. I never remember it to be tasty. It was almost always below average.

Wish there was a Time-Machine.

Hostels are comfortable and well ventilated. They are strict with regards to the timings but are flexible and considerate to genuine cases. On hygiene front they are well maintained. There are local house-keeping workers who you can pay a small amount monthly (INR:200-300) for cleaning purpose. There is laundry facility as well which is affordable if you plan your clothes set wisely. The mess at SIMC can be rated as good if not excellent. They serve breakfast (veg/non-veg), lunch, evening tea and biscuits, dinner(veg/non-veg). If you build a good rapport with the mess staff you might get food even during closed hours. (this is of course on an unofficial note).

Fantastic day in college

Hostel was awesome. Especially if you stay in 416. Apart from that food was also good. There were times when it was not good. But then everything has pros and cons. Nothing can be perfect.

SCMC- A WHOLE OTHER UNIVERSE

The hostel facility along with the wardens, and the keepers is way too good. The mess which was responsible for our food was the most hygienic place I have ever seen in a hostel and the needs of every student were kept in mind it whatever.

SIMC best college for Journalism

Campus Life:

Extracurricular activities included sports dance, college had a big swimming pool a cricket and a football ground a tennis court to name a few, many workshops were also conducted by industry experts from time to time and as far as gender ratio is concerned it is in a balanced state as I have never observed any kind of discrimination on the basis of cast creed race and ethnicity.

A Holistic Learning Experience

The hostels are three sharing and double sharing for girls and double, three and four sharing for boys. The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable with most comfort facilities. The food is of average quality. Breakfast is the best meal provided in the mess.
