Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology - [VNIT], Nagpur - Hostel Details

As a resident of Boys hostel at VNIT Nagpur, I can shed some light on the facilities available for us-

As a fresher, one has to live with three other people. Mostly, though not always, one gets a room with those who complete the registration at the same time as us. One gets a cupboard, table and bed for oneself. The rooms are three seaters, but due to lack of accommodation, four students share a single room. The rooms are non AC. The mess food is bearable, though everyone dislikes it. The freshers have an in-time of 8 pm. The rooms are crammed, but one starts to enjoy the hostel life after a while. As a fresher, one has to abide by the rules set by senior students. 

The second years get a different hostel. A single room is shared by three students, but the living conditions are pretty much the same as before. But one gets to choose one’s roommates. After the first year, boys don’t have to follow any in-time. 

In the third year, one gets a room for oneself, or a double sharing room. The rooms have a small balcony. The hostel for third years is much better and cleaner, and the rooms are better as well. 

Thus, VNIT Nagpur offers decent hostel facilities for its students.

As a girl hosteller, I can shed some light on the hostel facilities for M.Tech girls at VNIT Nagpur.

Girl students get a single room from the first year of M.Tech itself. The girls’ hostels are clean, but the rules and regulations are strict. One such rule is the hostel curfew timing which changes each year. It won’t be more than 10pm in any case.

Overall, the hostel facilities are good at VNIT. 

Here is the academic and hostel fee detail for B.Tech students of SC/ST category at VNIT Nagpur-

SC/ST/PwD students get complete relief from B.Tech tuition fee at VNIT Nagpur. They have to pay a one-time charge of Rs. 15,500 during admission. This includes library deposit, caution deposit, fee for identity card, etc. Other than that, they have to pay Rs. 4350 per semester for various campus facilities. This amount includes registration fee, library fee, sports fee, student activity fee, etc. 

They have to pay the complete hostel fee. This fee is Rs. 77,300 (1st year), Rs. 75,800 (2nd year), and Rs. 79,800 per year (for the rest of the years). Some charges from the hostel fee are subject to individual expense, so refunds are made accordingly.

This is the complete fee breakdown for B.Tech students of SC/ST/PwD category at VNIT Nagpur. 

VNIT Nagpur is one of the most expensive NITs, and its hostels are at par with private college hostels. 

The new NBCC constructed hostels have been functional for a few years.The hostels are provided with a TV room and a Table Tennis room. Each hostel room has high speed LAN ports.

The mess food is nowhere close to home cooked meals, but it is better than the one offered by tiffin services. North Indian and South Indian staples are served in the menu, along with some dishes from the Marathi cuisine. 

The hostel administration and mess contractors aren’t student friendly at all, but you’ll learn to manage things with time. The hostel fee is on an average, Rs. 32,700 per sem. You can expect a refund of around Rs. 5-10k for an academic year. 

Thus, you can expect a decent stay at the VNIT hostels. 

This is the Girls’ New Hostel building. It was constructed a few years back.

This is a single seater room that belongs to one of my friends-

The boys are also provided decent hostel rooms. Here is a picture of my friend’s room-

VNIT Nagpur hostels have decent rooms. Everything depends on the person who lives in them. It is the individual’s responsibility to arrange and maintain his/her own room.
