Scenic and adequate for the low strength.
By Rahul Chakrabvarthi | B.Tech (Avionics) | 2024

Infrastructure: Being built in a hilly region it is extremely beautiful with two ponds, beautiful buildings, one central garden, and 12 hostel blocks, 4 academic blocks, 1 massive, well equipped library, 1 Administrative block, curvy, inclined roads weaving all these together. There is a student activity center (SAC) building which houses TT Courts, indoor badminton courts, chess and carrom and pool tables, A gym and the main mess. Adjacent to it is a Multipurpose hall, and an open air theatre. Sports facilities include a basketball court, Volleyball court, A newly built football turf and a large football ground on a hill top adjacent to the campus. Also there is a medical office and a cafetaria within the campus. The campus is relatively small compared to IITs but for the meagre strength of 1500 from B.Tech to PhD the facilities are adequate.

Hostel: There are 12 hostel blocks. First year students will get 3 sharing rooms while 2nd year onwards the rooms are 2 sharing. Each room has one bed one almirah and one study table+ chair for each student. WiFi is available in all hostels and any maintainence work is resolved quickly after complaint is placed. There are no restrictions on entering and leaving the hostel (except for first year students). The boys hostels are seperate for each batch but girls have a single hostel for all batches. Ragging is almost non existent and seniors are very supportive to their juniors. It is very safe for the girls as it is a small and secure campus. CISF security ensures no safety issues occur within the campus. Mess works on booking basis so students pay only for the meals they eat. Overall I've had no problems with the hostels.
