After the admission of students in M.Tech at MNNIT Allahabad, the institute allows Raman Hostel for the first-year students, which is situated near Optron Chowk, 600m away from Patel gate of the institute. The points below give a brief overview of the hostel and the facilities provided by the institute in it.

• The Raman Hostel has 3 floors and 100 rooms in total. There are 2 washrooms on each floor, situated diagonally opposite to each other.
• The students in M.Tech and Ph.D. get access to a TV hall and a reading room. The TV hall is situated on the 2nd floor and the reading room is situated on the 1st floor.
• They have two badminton courts, one on each side. But, on most days, there are cycles parked on the courts. A small park is also made as a common entity for the students of both Raman and Tagore hostels.
• Tagore hostel has a canteen in the outer part of the hostel, which is available to all. In the Raman hostel, there is a small shop to carry on with basic needs like pen, copy, groceries, cold drinks, files, mobile recharge, etc.
• There is 24-hour access to the hostel for students. But, students need to sign a register if they have to go out after 12 AM midnight.
• The rooms in Raman hostel are good enough for 3 students each, but 4 students are accommodated in every room in the first year. There are 4 beds, a table, and a chair for students in each room. Other than that, each room has two fans and two light sockets, and 3 sets of LAN ports and wardrobes.
• In the second semester, few students leave the institute for a job or other purposes. So, three students are allotted to each room from then.
• Each washroom in Raman hostel has 5 bathrooms and 6 latrines of both kinds. There are 4 front wash basins too. No washing machine is provided in the hostel.
• Coming to the second year of M.Tech, students are allotted a PG hostel which is near the Computer Science department. It has 2-seater rooms, but the rooms are slightly more congested than those in Raman Hostel.

This is the overall condition and facilities provided to M.Tech students in MNNIT Allahabad, which is quite decent with required facilities for students inside the campus.

One of my friends was a former student of this institute. He once told me that everyone always considers the window users at the hostel; thereby, he prioritized the Linux users not to face any internet-related issues.

• My friend considers the conditions related to the proxy net, which is not the regular one. He mentioned that utilizing proxy settings basically changes the internet settings of “Fast Internet”.
• The most important thing is that the college can monitor internet surfing; besides, they also limit your Internet usage.
• However, DC++ settings were very ancient, and it was there approximately 3-4 years back. But as everything is now streamed online, thereby usage of DC has been drastically reduced.
• It can be mentioned that there are approximately 8-10 proxy settings by which you can surf the internet. But the problem is that only one has no limits; however, it is not allowed in the hostel and the surrounding areas.
• The Internet becomes slow during the evening time, that is from 7 pm to midnight. This institute provides a Squid proxy setting to its students, which is basically a visit more and gets easier. , if you visit one particular website daily, this setting will automatically allow you to visit the site, even at a low internet speed.

However, my friend was a gamer; he was not so interested in doing Facebook and YouTube. Thereby, he finds the following solutions:

• You can use VPN.
• It is better to use the internet at Night.
• If you utilize college internet effectively, then it is important to know the basics of Putty. You can use other IP addresses on their computers or laptop.

It completely depends on your usage perspectives. However, most of the students do not think so deeply and remain constant to their understandings only.

Mechanical Engineering Department in MNNIT has the best faculties. However, the following are the reasons for this consideration.

• Professors of this department are mostly highly qualified. However, a majority of them have done Ph.D., on the contrary of CSED.
• Besides, the professors from the Mechanical Department of MNNIT are also well-experienced.
• Most of them have a research profile, which influences the student’s mind towards the research-based work and study. They are also very helpful; if you want to pursue a research-oriented study, they welcome it from the heart.

Moreover, the most dissatisfactory thing about this department is the lack of cheering the students. My friend told me that he never saw anyone from his batch work on a research-based project or doing any further research-related studies.

One of my friends has shared his experiences. He traveled by train to Allahabad from Delhi, and after reaching there, his first experience was so disappointing. He thought about how he would survive here in the next 4 years of his study. 

• First, he went to the hotel, and then he went to complete the registration process of his admission.
• When he went to the college for the registration process, a positive feeling had haunted his mind after seeing the main building of this institute.
• Registration is a big process, and he had to run from one office to another at that temperature, which made the fading of good feeling. He took lunch in the college canteen, and he said that the food was very good and cheap.
• After completing the entire process, he visited the hostel. The hostel for the first-year student is really good. But he was not permitted to stay in the hostel as the registration process of the entire student was not yet completed.

So, my friend hated the place at the beginning, but after living in this place for 4 years, everyone will love this place. Besides, the student will also get a bag of memories in their 4 years of study.

One of my relatives was a student of MNNIT Allahabad and had experienced and eye-witnessed ragging in the university. According to him, the culture of ragging was restrained at MNNIT Allahabad after 2002. 

• The common place to rag and trouble freshers was the hostel area, which was outside the campus. All the freshers were asked to walk in queues. For boys, the dress code was a white shirt with a red third button, white pants, black shoes. For girls, it was white salwar and kameez, black shoes, oiled hair with the compulsion of ribbon. They were supposed to wear this uniform for two-three months. Furthermore, the seniors had asked the freshers to always look at their third button (the red one) whenever they were nearby them. 
• Room visits by seniors used to be a norm. While few seniors used to ask only questions and share their practical experience with juniors, many also used to ask the juniors to salute them at a 90-degree angle, or Paper dance, etc. Some seniors also used to make juniors do their practicals/assignments. 
• There used to be a railway track inside the campus and juniors were often asked to run on the track late at night, in earlier days. 

The situation started to change after 2000/2001 when a student allegedly died from his injuries due to ragging. The University administration started taking complaints seriously and worked their best to maintain peace at the university.

Abhinandan Aggarwal is one of the prominent coders of India. He studied B.tech from MNNIT Allahabad and became the most exceptional coder of that MNNIT Allahabad has ever witnessed. 

He was the batch mate of my brother and I have heard a lot of stories about him. 

• Abhinandan did his first coding when he was a kid, merely in grade eight. He was given to multiply big numbers as his homework and doing it manually was too mainstream for him so, he wrote a code to do it instead. 
• Besides being exceptional in academics, every one from his batch knows that Abhinandan is a fun person in real life. 
• My brother was also in awe of Abhinandan’s great taste when it comes to music. My brother describes him as very sociable and kind. From movie plans to trips he was always up to take the initiative. Among his peers, he was known as ‘The God’. 

As for how Abhinandan became so good at coding, he was born to code. Apart from being intelligent, he was also quite hardworking. These are probably the secrets behind his coding legacy.
