How is the hostel facility at NIT Patna?

First-year NIT Patna boys are allotted separate hostels with two/three-seater rooms. The rooms are not very great. There are single seater rooms also, but they are very small in number. There are three hostels for fresher boys- Sone Hostel Block A and B, Kosi Extension near Ganga Ghat, and Ganga Hostel. 

From the second year onwards, you will get a different hostel. There are mainly double-seater rooms in this one. Only 10 out of 500 rooms are four-seater. In this hostel, you will get to meet your seniors. 

The mess food isn’t good. Drinking water, common rooms, and washrooms are good. The premises have space where you can play underarm cricket, badminton and volleyball. In the fresher hostels, you won’t encounter any seniors. I don’t know much about the Girls’ hostel, just the name- Ganga Hostel.

Overall, the boys’ hostels are pretty average at NIT Patna. The senior hostel is comparatively better and new.
