The hostel room had a bed, one almirah and table for each student with a single fan in the room. Since it had a centralised AC duct system, it used to be pretty active in the summers. The food was fairly average. Hostel was mostly compulsory for everyone, but there was an option of being a day-scholar.

I chose LNMIIT becuase it offered me my desired branch, was nearer to my hometown of Bareilly and had the hostel included. During my time, I had confirmed admissions from MIT Pune as I had appeared for the MHT-CET in 2016 and also had a sub 1500 rank in the COMEDK-2016. Due to proximity of location, I chose LNMIIT.

Total students: 60. Total faculty members: 10 (from 2016-2020) So, the ratio was 1:6. The faculties were friendly and easy to approach, even after the classes. I liked Dr. Sandesh Chougule and Dr. Manoj Kumar the most as they were very helpful, always offered to make the subejcts easier for everyone. Dr. Sandesh, Dr. Manoj and Dr. Vikram and Ashok Dagar were the best faculties around. The exams were of moderate difficulty. Some students were failed regularly at times.

Gym was available in the SAC aka Student Activity Centre, libray used to open till midnight during end semester exams. Hostel in-time was 11 PM and campus in-time was 10 PM. There was a college canteen, which had many food options as well a laundry shop to take care of all needs.
