I am an alumnus of JIPMER. Here are the details on the hostel and mess facilities at JIPMER.
Most hostels are located in the hostel complex. The male UG students get rooms in Osler House, Lister House or Intern's Boys Hostel. The Intern’s Boys Hostel is newly built and has better rooms.
Each hostel has a study room, a recreational room, and good wifi facilities. The Intern’s Boys hostel has good and spacious rooms. The hostel rooms are two seater rooms.The Intern’s Boys Hostel has attached washrooms, but Osler and Lister have common washrooms. Each hostel room has a balcony. There is a parking space behind the hostels.
There are two major messes on campus. The Common Mess offers both North and South Indian meals. Additional food items are available at cheap prices. The common mess operates till late night.
Harvey Mess serves South Indian meals only. They serve delicious chicken items that are available at cheap prices. Some external kitchens also offer mess service for students. Other than messes, the canteens (EMS Cafeteria and Lister Canteen) offer good meals at affordable prices. The food served at each of the messes and canteens is of good quality.
JIPMER offers good hostel and mess facilities overall.
