During my B.Tech from NIT Durgapur, I stayed at Halls-9,3 and 5. I can tell you about the condition of these halls.

The infrastructure of these hostel buildings is in a poor and dilapidated state. They are located in one corner of the campus. The rooms are old, and these halls aren’t well maintained. The mess food isn’t good.

Despite all of this, you’ll find solace in your hostel rooms. You’ll form close bonds with your hostelmates. Once you move out of NIT Durgapur, you’ll miss these times. Over here, you’ll enjoy plenty of freedom with practically no responsibilities. 

For the most part, the condition of hostels isn’t good. Still, you’ll eventually adapt to this place. You’ll form close friendships and lifelong memories over here.

If you're considering studying at IIT Mandi, here are some points you might find useful:

• Ragging is not something you need to worry about at IIT Mandi. The seniors are helpful and supportive.
• The smaller batch strength (compared to other IITs) at IIT Mandi comes with its own advantages. You get opportunities to work on projects even if you have no prior knowledge, as long as you're willing to learn.
• Unlike other bigger institutions where hundreds of students stay in one hostel, at IIT Mandi, you have clusters of hostels with about 150 students in each hostel. In your first year, you'll stay together with almost the whole batch, but in later years, you get to stay with awesome seniors in your hostel. Some seniors even hold positions in technical secretariats and club coordinators, making it a great environment to work in. You can join clubs and be part of the core team as long as you're willing to work.
• If you're concerned about placements, rest assured that top companies come for placement and internship drives at IIT Mandi. The institute was placed 6th in median salary.
• In terms of drawbacks, the sports facilities at IIT Mandi aren't quite up to the mark, but this is expected to improve with more students returning to campus and a new Director taking charge. The roads have been in bad shape this season, but repairs are expected as soon as the weather permits.
• On the brighter side, there are some fun fests at IIT Mandi to lighten the mood. While not all fests are legendary, Exodia and Rann-Neeti are quite awesome if you get involved. Even the intra-college fests are cool and enjoyable. The sports culture here is just awesome, not just on the campus but even in Mandi, where people are great sports enthusiasts. You can also showcase your technical and non-technical talents at various events. And there's unlimited high-speed internet, although with some restrictions to make you think and explore for solutions.

Hostel life at AIIMS Rishikesh depends on the hostel you have been allotted

Boys hostel-first year:

• During your first year at AIIMS Rishikesh, students are given an apartment-like hostel with 2 Rooms for 3 students with all the basic amenities one could ask for. After one or two semesters you are shifted to the senior boys hostel.

AIIMS Rishikesh

Senior Boys Hostel 

• Single occupancy rooms are provided with basic stuff like a table, Chair, Bookshelf, Almirah, bed, small table, Fan, Tubelight etc.
• Cleanliness is a unique aspect of AIIMS Rishikesh and its hostels and the entire campus in general is clean and well kept
• There are no fixed hostel timings and you can come and go as your will. 
• For leisure time, there are 2 TV rooms, one T.T. Table and 2 badminton courts in the hostel.

For fresher B.Tech boys, there are four hostels at NIT Trichy. These are- Agate, Jade, Diamond and Coral. The rooms at these hostels are three/four seater, and have enough space to accommodate the furniture of each occupant. All of these hostels have decent wifi facilities. 

Each one of them has its own pros and cons. Agate gets good wifi speed, and is comparatively close to most academic buildings. Jade is the farthest from every college building, but it has its own cricket ground on the backside. Moreover, its rooms are well ventilated. Jade experiences a water cut once every two months, and every hostel experiences a 15 minute power cut once a month. 

The fresher hostels at NIT Trichy are decent and liveable.

JIPMER messes serve good quality food. You can either pay the monthly fee and have your meals in a single mess, or you can visit any mess and pay for that meal. You can also change your mess monthly. This is a really good system as it helps beat monotony. 

The common mess serves both North and South Indian dishes, separately. Addons like chicken 65, fish, omelet, egg, chicken gravy, etc. can be obtained at very affordable prices. The breakfast consists of idli, dosa, Pongal, poori, bread, jam, and sometimes noodles as well. 

During lunch, you’ll get rice, sambhar, rasam, curd, one vegetable, chapati/poori, curry, salad, and papad. The messes serve good snacks with beverages. During dinner, Uthappam/Poori/chapati with rice and curry is served. Dosas, juices, cold drinks, and other food items are available in the common mess and cafeterias at very cheap prices. 

The hostel food at JIPMER is of good quality and good taste. The best part is that the meals are very affordable.

As a resident of Boys hostel at VNIT Nagpur, I can shed some light on the facilities available for us-

As a fresher, one has to live with three other people. Mostly, though not always, one gets a room with those who complete the registration at the same time as us. One gets a cupboard, table and bed for oneself. The rooms are three seaters, but due to lack of accommodation, four students share a single room. The rooms are non AC. The mess food is bearable, though everyone dislikes it. The freshers have an in-time of 8 pm. The rooms are crammed, but one starts to enjoy the hostel life after a while. As a fresher, one has to abide by the rules set by senior students. 

The second years get a different hostel. A single room is shared by three students, but the living conditions are pretty much the same as before. But one gets to choose one’s roommates. After the first year, boys don’t have to follow any in-time. 

In the third year, one gets a room for oneself, or a double sharing room. The rooms have a small balcony. The hostel for third years is much better and cleaner, and the rooms are better as well. 

Thus, VNIT Nagpur offers decent hostel facilities for its students.
