IISER Berhampur Hostel Fees: Rooms, Food & Rules

The hostels are quite spacious and clean. Some hostel rooms, usually the girls' hostels, have attached washrooms in the twin sharing or triple sharing rooms, while the boys' hostel has a common washroom. The institute manages a house-keeping service. There are, of course, separate hostels provided for boys and girls. Every hostel is equipped with CCTV surveillance, and guards are present 24/7. The hostels are assigned a particular caretaker who manages the students' complaints and issues living there regarding the hostel. The mess food is manageable, but it is sometimes not bearable.Read Full Review

Talking about the hostel, initially, it was not at all a good experience. Since it is a new institute, everything in the hostel was under construction when I first entered this college hostel. Our faculties were the hostel wardens themselves. Starting from the bedroom to bathroom to every appliance in the hostel, they were not complete. In fact, I entered a room with only a bed and a cupboard on the first day. The wooden tables and chairs were all provided a few days later. Also the water filters along with the geyser and washing machine.

Not to be disappointed about it. It is well furnished now with a huge common TV in the dining hall where we get all the meals. We have a washing machine, water filters on all floors, and mosquito nets on all windows. What more? We have attached a bathroom in our twin sharing rooms. It is getting furnished too with marble floors and walls with tiles. Our terrace remains closed due to security issues but otherwise, it’s a beautiful hostel. Facing away from the sun, it is usually cool during the hottest times.Read Full Review
