Is choosing avionics over other worth it?

From this year(2024) the two occupancy has been changed to 3. But still the rooms here are good, hostels provide us a study table, a cupboard and a wall attached cupboard to use. The meals are good compared to any other hostel's and everyday's breakfast contains bread and jam..

The Holistic IIST

The IIST has room accomodation of three people for 1st year students. The rooms are very spacious and clean including 3 almirah, three cot, three table-chair for a room and also the tube-lights are in the room which are taken care by the hostel warden. The room has sufficient amount of electric sockets. You can also chanege your room, you just only have to write a mail to hostel warden and student well fare faculty. The meal at IIST is made by keeping in mind that both North and South Indians could eat it. The menu is repeated after every 2 weeks and some of the diahes are Butter Paneer, fried Chicken, Malai Kofta, Butter Chicken Masala, Maggie, Noodles, Pav-Bhaaji, Dosa, Manchurian, Curd, Milk, Tea- coffeee, Pulses like Arahar, Chole, Rajma and many other. The hostel is provided by the Institute itself with an affordable price of 15,000 per month. No, you can't rent a PG outside the campus as much as you are a B-tech student. I don't know about M-tech people but PHD people can rent a PG outside.

IIST Dream college For Space Enthusiasts

There are double and tripple sharing rooms. The rooms are provided with fan, Almirah, Bedside table, Study table with drawers, Chair, Rack etc. The food is good but it tastes same every day. You won't like the food after 2 months. Hostel rent is 6000 per year and Hostel Establishment Fee is 10000 per year. The college is fully residential and no one is allowed to stay outside the college.

Dislikes

Not much food options available except for a small cafeteria in the campus and a small dhabha near the college.

The hostel rooms are quite basic. The mainly contain a bed a cupboard a side table and a study table. Plugs are provided near every study table. The Institute is strictly residential so you can reside outside the institute you have to use the college hostel. Also the college hostel is quite affordable with 30000 per annum with food included. The food is quite basic also as one mess is present in campus the menu is maintained to suit both South and North Indian taste.

IIST True Review By IISTian

Hostels are nice and spacious. You will get some furnitures in hostels. And cleaning happens every day. Electricity is 24*7 and water is also available for 24*7. You will get cold hot and normal water for drinking. Overall hostels are good here.

The hostel facility is good here and they used to clean the hostel every day but the fees of the hostel are a little bit high and if I talk about the rental accommodation for the hostel then it is around 14k which is too high in my opinion and food is also not so good as per the charges.
