Do they have a single student per room in hostels at IIT Kanpur?

My knowledge is limited to the accommodation facilities of UG students at IIT Kanpur only. The first-year students are allotted the Hall of Residence 13. This 6-story building has double or triple-seater rooms and has been built recently and thus has the best facilities among other hostels of IIT Kanpur. Its location is an added feature.

But from the second year, you will have to leave these splendid hostels and move to other hostels like Hall of Residence 2,3, 5, or 12. Let’s talk about these halls individually to get a better insight into the accommodation facilities of IIT Kanpur students.

• Hall 1 and 9: Thisbisbysally for final year students as it has single occupancy rooms only.
• Hall 2: Students of this hostel are allotted double occupancy rooms and this hostel is known for its prime location.
• Hall 3: The design and facilities of this hall are very much similar to Hall 2
• Hall 5: This hostel has bigger and more spacious rooms in comparison to 2 and 3 and you are likely to get a single occupancy room in your 3 or 4 years.
• Hall 6: This is the girls' hostel which is infamous for its congested rooms and poor location.
• Hall 12: This hall has both single and double occupancy rooms and the one you will be allotted depends solely on your luck.

All in all, IIT Kanpur provides decent hostel facilities to its students so that students are comfortable and can give their all in academics.
