National Institute of Technology - [NIT], Durgapur - Hostel Details

During my B.Tech from NIT Durgapur, I stayed at Halls-9,3 and 5. I can tell you about the condition of these halls.

The infrastructure of these hostel buildings is in a poor and dilapidated state. They are located in one corner of the campus. The rooms are old, and these halls aren’t well maintained. The mess food isn’t good.

Despite all of this, you’ll find solace in your hostel rooms. You’ll form close bonds with your hostelmates. Once you move out of NIT Durgapur, you’ll miss these times. Over here, you’ll enjoy plenty of freedom with practically no responsibilities. 

For the most part, the condition of hostels isn’t good. Still, you’ll eventually adapt to this place. You’ll form close friendships and lifelong memories over here.

Here are the facilities available at NIT Durgapur Boys’ hostels-

1. In Hall 11 (for freshers), Wifi facility is provided. For the students in other halls, LAN facility is provided.
2. Its mess committee members decide the menu for a respective hall.
3. Mess food is average. But once a week, you’ll be served good meals. Every month, there’s a special dinner where you’ll be served dishes like mutton, pulao, ice cream, cold drink, rasgulla, etc.
4. First year boys can go out between 6am-6pm as a preventative measure against ragging. However, this in-time is extended to 10 pm later on.
5. There’s a weekly laundry service for which the bill gets added to your mess bill accordingly.
6. Barbers are available on Saturdays and Sundays.
7. The campus has strict security.
8. Hall 11 has a canteen on the third floor which offers good food and 100+ dishes. As you become seniors, you will get the freedom to visit malls and “jhoops”.
9. Common rooms contain TT tables and carrom boards. The hostels also have Badminton, Basketball, Cricket and football equipment.
10. Common rooms contain TV.
11. There are small shops near the halls to provide items of daily use. Water coolers are provided on every floor.
12. Sweepers clean the rooms on a regular basis. The cleaning staff cleans the washrooms on a daily basis. Once a week, the halls are sprayed with pest control sprays and powders.

You will enjoy your stay at NIT Durgapur and make endless memories while at its hostels. 

I am an alumni of NIT Durgapur. As I have never been to JU hostels, I can tell you about the condition of hostels in my college.

The fresher rooms are much better than those allotted to senior boys. Hall 9 consists of four-seater rooms which were allotted to me, back when I was a fresher. These rooms are small. However, they are still bigger than the four-seater rooms we were allotted during the second and third years. 

Presently, freshers are allotted Hall-11 which is newly built and has all the facilities. It is well-built. During the fourth year, you will be allotted single-seater rooms. These single-seater rooms are below expectations. They are quite old. 

Here are some facilities provided in hostels-

1. LAN/Wifi Connectivity
2. Clean drinking water via water coolers
3. Common washrooms for each wing
4. Mess for each hall
5. Sports facilities

The hostel facilities at NIT Durgapur aren’t really good, especially for a college of national importance.

Yes, NIT Durgapur has amazing hostel facilities. The accommodation facilities are amazing for girls who are allotted the HALL-13. Students are given huge double occupancy rooms. Other hostel facilities include common rooms with indoor game facilities and a big LED television. Students also get 24×7 high-speed internet connection in hostels. Most importantly you will be making some amazing friends for life!
