There are a number of things one needs to carry to their hostels as a fresher irrespective of whichever IIT they belong to. Some of the most important things are
- All official documents along with the admission letter. Bring extra photographs.
- Every type of clothing like pants, shirts, undergarments, socks, towels, shorts, handkerchiefs, and a cap
- Other basic necessities like mirror, comb, oil, cream, deo, etc.
- Footwear like shoes and slippers
- Electrical extension board
- Laptop
- Sports equipment
- Water boiler if allowed and basic utensils like plates and spoons
- Blanket
- Medicines and snacks like dry fruits.
Make sure to pack all the necessary things as you will be at a new place all alone so the least you can do is come prepared.
