All post-graduate students admitted on a full-time basis may, subject to availability, avail of residential facilities in the hostels. The Institute has eleven boys’ hostels and two girls’ hostels. Each hostel is self-contained with amenities such as a reading room, an indoor games room, a lounge and a dining hall with a mess. Hostel rooms are adequately furnished. Please check this website: https://home.iitd.ac.in/hall-of-residence.php.
Please note that currently there is a severe shortage of hostel accommodation owing to renovation activities and the recent increase in student strength. The Institute may not be in a position to offer hostel accommodation to all post-graduate students. In such a case, some of the students will be accommodated in Nalanda/ IP apartments on a sharing basis. They may opt to cook in the apartment, eat out or choose to dine in a nearby hostel mess. The Institute will also try to facilitate students to get accommodation outside the campus, in case the students cannot be accommodated anywhere on campus.
