I lived in the hostel (it was a fully residential university). Most of the rooms had 3, while some had four beds. We were provided with one-door almirah, a study table and a single-bed with storage space per person. There was one common almirah used by all roomated of the room. We had table fans attached on the wall for each bed, instead of regular ceiling fans. The food menu was fixed, however during festivals and an yearly celebration we got special dishes. Special food was given on tuesdays, along with sweets. Sometimes we got chaach and aam panna drinks as well. Food was okay. Early birds were allowed to choose a room, while latecomers had to adjust with whatever available. Hostel allocation and fee was a part of the college admission process and had no specific procedure.
