Hostel Facilities:

Hostel facility provided to the students are well organized and up to the mark. In an on campus hostel, there are 3 persons that can be accomodated in the room and 2 wardrobes are provided in the room. 3 beds and 3 study tables. Meal quality is above average in our college campus and mess provides us with breakfast , lunch , dinner with different varieties everyday. Evening snacks is also available. Mess provides non veg 3 times a week and rest of the time its veg. Registration process for hostel and affordability they make the student write their name , roll number and also the signature , then the student get their respective keys. I have an inside campus Hostel rooms.

IIITK hostel nightmares

Likes

The amenities available seems good enough nothing to complain

The room was made for 2 ppl in the hostel but they fit 3 ppl in there. The quality of the meal is very ok it is edible but there is no flavour and such and the quality is generally a gamble, The hostel is compulsory so everyone has to go through it It is around 70,000 for a semester and is compulsory

IIITK is a Mixed Bag

Internet availability at the hostels are very good
Gymnasium is available for the students for 1000 per sem

The rooms were made for 2 people but currently accommodates 3 so it's a bit cramped. There are ethernet ports with very high speed internet 1Gbps. Mess food quality is very bad and it's inedible a lot of the days.

1st YEAR REVIEW OF IIIT KOTTAYAM

Here hostel food are mix of south Indian and north indian. but it is same as other government colleges repetitive that's why it becomes bad taste from time to time. Hostel room is compulsory here. 1st year hostel outside of the campus and after that you will inside the campus.

IIIT Kottayam at a glance from an insider

Dislikes

The worst thing about the college is definitely the mess food. I have experienced hostel Life since 5th grade. But never ever I have seen such poor quality food. Vegetarians like me will surely suffer the most. Atleast some fruits should be given...

Each room has 3 occupants. The rooms have fan, cupboards and study tables as well as individual beds. Wifi routers are provided everywhere. During rainy season, there are some issues regarding the internet speed. Sometimes the routers are down for whole days. As for the meal, there cannot be anything worse. Menu is balanced with both North and South dishes but they seem to forget about the taste.

Uncovering the Truth : A systematic review of Indian Institute of Information Technology, Kottayam

Some rooms are of double occupancy and some rooms are of triple occupancy, enough space for luggage and 2 storage space(almirah) is also provided one desk and a chair for each student. Mess meal quality is not really good, don't expect much from mess food, menu on the other hand is very diverse. Rice and roti is always available with many options of curry. Hostel fees is 28,000 per semester. The hostel for first semester students/ freshers is assigned outside campus. Construction of more hostels are going on, soon freshers will also have hostels in campus.

My College Pros and Cons

Hostel facility provided by the collage is pretty good. In one room there are 3 students and everything is pretty good. Meal quality needs to be improved by a lot as most people dont even go to mess. And you get outside collage hostels for first year.
