IIT Hyderabad Hostel

Kandi campus of IIT Hyderabad has beautifully designed hostel buildings designed with unique infrastructure. IIT Hyderabad (new campus) provides single-seater rooms for all students. Girls are usually allocated to the new campus. Each hostel block has seven floors, with no rooms on the ground floor, and rooms on 6 floors only. Each floor has 32 rooms. So approximately, 192 students live in one block.

Some key highlights of the hostel are

  • Dwelling Design: IIT Hyderabad’s hostel architecture is designed by the Japanese who have used Dwelling Design. This helps the equal amount of breeze flow in all the rooms irrespective of the location of the room and direction of airflow.
  • Radiant Cooling: The walls and ceiling of the hostel rooms have hidden pipes that have cold water running through them. The temperature of this water is controlled depending on the season and outside temperature. This keeps the room warm in winter and cool in summer.
  • Washrooms: Each floor is divided into 4 comprising 8 rooms each. Every pod has two bathrooms, two urinal pots, and two toilets.
  • Toilets: Out of the 2 washrooms, one is Indian and one is Western. There are motion sensor lights in the hostel washrooms. There are both hot and cold water options available 24/7. 
  • Rooms: Rooms are spacious enough for one person. A typical room has a single bed, a table, and a chair. There is also a built-in almirah.

How are the boys’ hostel at IIT Kanpur?

VS
Vijay Sarnaik Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Studied at IIT Kanpur

There are a total of 4 boys’ hostels namely, Hall 2,3,5, and 12. The oldest halls are 2,3 and 5.

Halls 2 and 3: These halls provide a three-seater room. Initially, you might feel congested but soon you will adapt yourself to the limited space. I’m the 2nd and 3rd year, one boy will be removed and only the 2 of you will be left.

Hall 5: Although you will be sharing the room with just one student, you will realize that the size of the room is smaller than 2 and 3. Again in the 2nd and 3 rd years, you will get the entire room to yourself.

Hall 12: This hostel has the best rooms that are well furnished and with great facilities. The luckiest people get to stay here.

It’s important to bear in mind the fact that the above details were limited to BTech students only.

How are hostels at CUSAT?

IJ
Ishan Juneja Posted On : March 17th, 2022
B.Tech from Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2017)

CUSAT hostel fee is pretty minimal. You need to pay around INR 300/month

Although the fees for CUSAT hostel are nominal, the quality of living can’t be compared to other government colleges like NITs and IITs. Washrooms and other facilities aren’t at optimum standard. But if you compare it with the amount then the facilities are sufficient.

The hostels don’t have wi-fi facilities, so you will have to depend on local ISP. Also, there is no guarantee that you will get a hostel room in the 1st year itself. Many freshers have faced this and got hostel rooms, generally in 3rd or 4th year.

How is the hostel life of DTU?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 4th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

DTU hostel life is like any other college. My friend was allotted a room in the Type 3 girls hostel and this is what her hostel building looked like:

Delhi Technology University

Here is what her room looked like

Delhi Technology University

The hostel life is pretty disciplined here and girls are expected to get back to their rooms by 11 PM. The attendant keeps track of the student's attendance and locks the main building door to ensure no one gets out. Boys on the other hand get a lot of freedom and can roam around the campus even at 2 in the morning. Midnight cravings can be taken care of by Micmac which stays open till around 2 AM. This is what the DTU campus looks like at night.

Delhi Technology University

The campus is well-secured and guards are on duty throughout the night. The hostels are situated near the academic block and you can reach the classes within a few minutes. 

Overall, the hostel life at DTU is pretty vibrant and you make a lot of memories here.

IIIT Hyderabad hostel rooms are like that of any typical hostel. They can easily house two students but sometimes are too cramped. The hostel rooms also have a cupboard which will hold most of your belongings. The beds are also of average size. 

Usually, BTech students are allotted single occupancy rooms in the first 2 years after which they are shifted to their single rooms. These rooms are quite spacious than many other engineering college hostels. A friend currently in her first year at IIIT Hyderabad shared the following photo of her room
