IIT Bombay Hostel Fees: Rooms, Food & Rules

Hostel at IIT Bombay is bit disappointing as hostel are so old and rooms are very small. The main problem is the size of the room only, rest of the things are just perfect you get all the basic facilities in your hostel like laundry services, washing machine, dryer, water cooler, regular cleaning of toilets (we have one common toilet for 3 rooms, it can vary according to different hostels), hostel canteen (every hostel has their own canteen which is open up to 4 A.M ), gyms (every hostel has their own separate gym which is equipped with almost every modern equipment). Specifically talking about first year as fresher we get two hostels out of which H-16 is good and rooms are big enough, but H-1 rooms are so small, earlier those rooms were made for accommodating one person but due to large number of students and less room now two students live there which make it congested. As you move to second and third year you get rooms smaller than H-16 rooms but by that time you learn how to adjust. Talking about fourth year at that time you get the single occupancy room in H-18, 17 which are newly built hostels, and they look like hotels and facilities are also too good in their hostels. There are some cons of old hostel but vibe and culture you find there is something you will remember for your whole life. A special point to be mentioned there are many new hostels under construction and some very old hostels are also being demolished and are going to be built again so small rooms problem will be sought in coming few years.Read Full Review

Hostel facilities are quite good, though some old hostels have small rooms and little space, but new hostels are pretty spacious. Mess food is, I must say most of the time is much better than any other college. They offer something in sweet or fruit everyday along with good menu of food. Playing areas are also very good in hostels. Every hostel has their own music room, dance room, yoga room, gym and other facilities.Read Full Review
