IISER Kolkata review by student

Hostel Facilities:

Hostels are good overall. There is no specific rent for the hostel room it is included in Semester fees itself. For Bachelor's and Master's student of Integrated BS-MS dual degree course, Hostel rooms are allotted and they can live outside hostel. Hostel are good and well maintained, hygiene is maintained and there is good WiFi connectivity. But one thing i dislike is there are 3 sharing rooms which should be 2 sharing. Otherwise it is good.

Cross gender hostel visits are allowed for a period of a day

Hostel Facilities:

This course have residential facilities, you have to stay in hostels only for 5 years. Mess is probably the best point our college have, the food is great as compared to other colleges. Hostels are affordable, you have to pay somewhat 42k over 5 years, I think it's manageable.

The hostel life here is great with opposite gender visits into hostels allowed from 10am to 11pm

Hostel Facilities:

The hostels are in okay condition. The double occupancy rooms are to be shared by 3 people in the first two years, because new hostels have not been built yet. The hostels are compulsory as it is a fully residential campus, and the fee is included in the total fees. Mess is decent compared to other colleges

Likes

The Student Monitored Canteen serves very good quality food. If you are a non vegetarian, you will not miss you home food much (of course home food is the best). I have stayed in hostel for 8 years befor joining IISER, and trust me iiserK is the best

Dislikes

Single room accomodation is not provided to hostelers as there is shortage of hostel rooms in iiserK.

Hostel Facilities:

Hostel rooms are equipped with bed, chair, table, almirah,etc. Rooms are either double sharing or tripple sharing for, BS-MS, MS students. Mess food is excellent. Registration fees and hostel fees are including the semester fees i.e. PhD students generally don't get hostel rooms, so they get a good amount of HRA, rented rooms are easily available just outsi6the campus.

The mess food is one of the best thing here , the menu is also very good .

Dislikes

Too much empty space in college, small hostels , snakes, forest.

Hostel Facilities:

Here you can get 2 sharing room or 3 sharing room, but the 2 sharing room is small for 2 persons but the 3 sharing room is enough for 3 people. The meal and menu quality of IISER KOLKATA is the best in India. Registration for hostel will be done in the day pf registration.

IISER Kolkata: 1 Answered Question

How is the hostel facility at IISER Kolkata?

Singdha MishraIntegrated BS-MS from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata (2020)

IISER Kolkata has three hostels. The hostel accommodations are quite good.

Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar Hall (ICVS): It is an all-boys hostel for BS-MS students. This hostel is closest to the lecture halls and research labs. You can get to the lecture halls within 2 minutes from this hostel.

ICVS has great facilities including high-speed internet, wash-rooms with geysers, washing machines on each floor. The hostel is under CCTV surveillance. However, there are no strict entering and exiting times specified.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose (NSCB): NSCB has the same facilities as ICVS. It was also built at the same time. There are 2 wings for girls and 1 wing for boys. The boy’s and girl’s wings are separated by doors.

The main canteen is situated between NSCB and ICVS. The canteen is run by students. Below the main canteen, there are two stationary shops, xerox shops, saloons, and two refreshment shops.

Nivedita Hall: This hostel was built most recently. It is for the junior year BS-MS students. It has 2 wings for boys and 1 wing for girls. The wings are well-separated. It has all the facilities as the other two hostels. But there is poor ventilation.

It is close to the cricket ground, gym, badminton court, volleyball court. This hostel has its own canteen.

In the hostel, there are separate wings for Ph.D. and BS-MS students. Ph.D. students are allotted single rooms and BS-MS students are allotted double sharing accommodation. There are no hostel facilities for post-doctoral students.
