Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication, [DAIICT] Gandhinagar Technology, Gandhinagar - Hostels and Facilities

The campus is of 50 acres and is full of greenery. There are 3 Lecture Theatres to conduct classes for core courses and a CEP building where other classes are held. The campus has Wifi connectivity at all the important places. The library or the Resource Centre as it is called here has a great deal of educational as well as other books. There are 4 small cafeterias as well as 1 main canteen. There is a pay and order system here which makes it very feasible for students. The laboratories are well equipped with latest software as well as hardware.

There is compulsory hostel for UG students where as it is optional for PG students. The rooms have twin-sharing and have very basic facilities. The washrooms are common between all the rooms on a floor. The quality of food in the campus is just average and variety is also limited but you can find varied options outside the campus. There are various small and big food joints to explore in the 2 km radius.

The food at the mess/canteen is priced reasonably, the place is clean and the food hygienic. Apart from being a very unusual kind of a canteen (which feels like a part of a resort), there are a couple of other small franchisee counters around too.  With wood benches ad rounded stones in the floor, it feels no less than a nature resort you would want to visit to take a break from routine.     

• A very well-planned and laid out campus, which includes separate blocks for various activities spread throughout. 
• The campus welcomes you with a nice little lotus pond and then you take the road towards your destination.
• On the left are the Academic blocks i.e. the lecture theatres and the labs.
• The halls of residence (hostels) for the boys and the cafeteria being close to each other lie in the northern part of the campus. Besides these are the Open-air-theatre and the Sports ground. All the campus is connected by an elliptical kind of a road. 
• Going ahead on the road takes you to the Halls-of-residence for the girls, and the faculty blocks. And the best part about the campus is the green cover.
• The spaces apart from the roads and the buildings are covered with plantations that include Bamboo, grasses and also some that are medicinal.
• And don’t be surprised to catch glimpse of beautiful peacocks displaying their feathers and making sweet noises during the monsoons, and also many more birds flock the eco-system created by the institute.  
• A blend of urban infrastructure amidst the natural environment makes the whole experience serene. The only thing you could expect apart from this would be a river flowing through the campus.

• Now that the course is completely residential, the hostels would be an important consideration too.
• The twin sharing rooms are decent in size, not too big, nor does it get cramped up.
• There’s house-keeping staff always around to clean up rooms, but the occupants generally get it cleaned once a month. There’s a bed, a study table, and a cupboard for both.
• The hostel warden is not very strict with the boys for timings and they’re allowed to roam around freely 24hrs a day. But the girls’ hostel stay shut from 12 am – 6 am.
• The boys are also allowed outside the campus all day, unlike the girls.
• When you ask anyone here about a unique feature of the hostel, everyone will certainly speak of the LAN network of the campus.
• Everyone’s laptops are always hooked on the network, with some gaming or some just surfing the internet at high speeds. The intranet operates at around 10-12 Mbps, which could translate to downloading a movie in just about 5 minutes or so. That’s fast!!
• With regards to making friends here, it’s not hard at all, because students are always roaming around here and there, so find a company and for all you know he/she might be a senior, but you bond over things and become pals. 
• Ragging here is banned anyway, but the students are matured enough themselves to avoid it too. A women’s cell is particularly established to address any gender specific issues. 
• A general store in the hostel enables quick access to public phones and mobile recharges and stationary.
• An AXIS Bank ATM outside the campus serves the banking needs of students. 
• Respecting the status of Gujarat being a dry state, students camp out to other state borders to quench their thirst once in a while.
