Some of my friends are IIT Madras alumni. Here is their insight into the hostel facilities of the institute.  

  • The hostels have 24 hours internet connection. Internet speed goes up to 100 Mbps. There’s a 1GB per day data usage cap.
  • There is an airconditioned tech room that stays open 24 hours a day. The tech rooms have power tools. You can use the tools to get simple carpentry stuff done. 
  • You will have access to the Center of Innovation, a tech-conductive facility. Among other things, it has a 3D printing machine, a workstation for carrying out powerful stimulations. Most tech junkies on campus usually crowd over there.
  • Every hostel usually has a hostel room, a TV room, a computer room, and an indoor games room. All basic amenities are available in the hostels along with washing machines and portable water supply. 
  • The hostel rooms can feel a bit constricted at times. But every hostel has a huge central ground. 
  • Power cuts are quite rare. There are also utility support staffs to help you out even during night. 
  • The HUL snack station stays open from evening to late at night every day. There are also many eateries near the campus. 

A unique trait of the IIT Madras campus is its forested area. Although it is outside the boundaries of the hostel zone, you can wander off to this area when you need a Psychological high.

My brother is from IIT Bombay, so I know about the hostel facilities there. There are various hostels in IIT Bombay for both girls and boys.

Important factors regarding hostel facilities:

  • 24/7 High-speed unlimited internet connection is given. You will not get bored.
  • Every hostel has its own mess and canteen, with food available until 2 a.m. The institute regulates all rates. You can get a wide range of non-vegetarian options. Currently, there are 16 hostels on campus.
  • The hostels have their own Gym, and SAC (students activity center) has a shared Gym.
  • The hostels have indoor sports facilities such as table tennis, pool tables, and foosball.
  • Every hostel has a TV room, a study room/library, and a computer room with dozens of PCs.
  • Each hostel has three or four grounds with facilities and accessories for the sports such as Football, basketball, cricket, and badminton courts.
  • Some hostels even have a dance and music room with instruments.
  • Every hostel has a washing machine and a dryer on every floor (some exceptions though).
  • They also have shops such as Xerox and other necessities such as snacks, stationery, electronics, etc.
  • Single rooms are for final-year and post-graduate students.
  • Some hostels have a cycle pool where you can rent a bicycle using your ID card.
  • Any student is welcome to visit any room in other hostels. (That includes the girls' hostel as well.)
  • There is one co-ed hostel as well.

You can also visit the college website for hostel facilities in detail.
