Hostel Facilities:
At VIT, hostel facilities are well-organized with strict segregation between boys and girls, ensuring privacy and security. Boys and girls are housed in separate hostels, such as P Block and Q Block for boys, and G Block and H Block for girls. The allocation of rooms is generally on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability. P Block is often praised for its modern amenities, while F Block is favored among girls for its location and facilities. Hostel fees vary by occupancy: single occupancy starts around ₹48,000 per year, double occupancy ranges from ₹30,000 to ₹40,000, and triple occupancy costs about ₹25,000 to ₹30,000, with four and six-bed rooms being more affordable at ₹15,000 to ₹25,000. Hostels have a curfew, usually requiring students to return by 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM, though late returns are permitted with prior permission. Food is not included in hostel fees; students pay an additional ₹2,000 to ₹3,000 per month for mess facilities, with options varying from vegetarian to special mess. Each hostel has its own mess, and there are also canteens and cafeterias on campus where students frequently eat. Food quality varies but is generally acceptable, with menus changing periodically. Hostels are secured by a sufficient number of guards, and there have been no recent major security issues reported.At VIT, hostel sharing options range from single to six-bed rooms, catering to various preferences and budgets. Single occupancy offers the most privacy, while double and triple occupancy are common choices. Four-bed and six-bed rooms are larger and more economical. I opted for a non-AC room in P Block, prioritizing affordability and comfort. P Block is well-maintained and conveniently located on campus. Non-AC rooms are equipped with ceiling or table fans, while AC rooms have air conditioning. Coolers are not typically provided. All hostels feature geysers for hot water, high-speed WiFi, personal almirahs, study tables, and chairs. Beds come with standard-quality mattresses, and rooms are equipped with curtains for privacy and adequate lighting. Common rooms in some hostels offer seating, table tennis, and board games for recreation. Washrooms are generally common, with daily cleaning by staff. Rooms are cleaned weekly or upon request. In hostels with common washrooms, approximately 10 to 15 students share a single facility, with this number increasing in larger hostels.
