IIT Madras is half an hour away from my house and this is the reason I didn't avial the hostel facility for my BTech program. But still I Know a good amount of things about the facilities because I've visited the hostels a number of times. The rooms were available for single living and sharing basis also and the facilities were totally separated for both genders. As per the reviews of my batchmates who lived in the hostels the mess services were also great.
