There are around 21 hostels on campus. Out of which 18 are boys hostels and 3 are girls hostels. The hostel facilities including mess facilities are up-to-date and furnished for students convenience and comfort.
Hostel fees per semester amounts to around INR18,150/- including mess charges also.
There are around 14 or 15 messes in campus, accessible to students, which include a food court, jain mess and a non-vegetarian mess.
Students have the option of changing their mess every month and thus dining in the mess which best suits their preferences. They also have the option to change their mess in between, after some formalities.
The food is generally good, In my opinion I would give it a rating of 2.5 - 3 out of 5.
Common courses are usually conducted in Lecture halls in Class room complex ( A/C classes ) and the branch related courses are conducted in department. Department related labs are also conducted in the department. Non A/C classes are also there, and classes with relatively lower strength are conducted there.
Wi-Fi is available in the Department Computer facility and students can access them.
Overall the infrastructure on campus is very good. I would give it a rating of around 4/5.

There are around 18 hostels in our campus, hostel fees per semester is Rs 21000 (four months and also includes mess fees).
Food quality and maintenance will be good and if you have any issues or complaints you can report in hostel management office. As I mentioned above if you are a hostel member then only you can register for mess .
Infrastructure is a bit old but certain renovations are done to improve the efficiency. Students are provided LAN ports in hostel rooms with high speed and 24 hours internet. WiFi facility is available in major part of the campus. Library in IIT Madras is one of the largest in India.

Hostels are very good with all kinds of facilities wifi lan,tech room,music room,TV room,each hostel has a library and extracurricular rooms. Washing machines are available for everyone to use.
PGs are available but nobody prefers then as you get to live in hostel with Rs 20,000 only for 6 months but yes pg facilities available outside.
The food is pretty good with over 15 mess to choose from so you never get bored it is around Rs 1500 per month. Rest calculate.
As it is IITM you don't need to worry about classrooms they are very good with ac and without ac all but very well maintained and a good place to learn. The dining halls are excellent and the building is awesome. The library is one of the biggest in the city 5 story building full ac full high speed wifi and 3 computer labs with all kinds of books and magazines available anything you wish. The LAN speed is unbelievable about 100 mb per second download anything in just 10 or 20 seconds and wifi is also available everywhere in campus and very fast

Hostels in Indian Institute of Technology are just about tolerable.
The hostel fee is very reasonable, about 18k INR per semester (for dining and hostel facilities).
Nobody stays in PGs etc. as hostel rooms are available to everyone and they tend to be better than the PGs.
The food in the mess, though not great by any standards, is average and one can survive on it.
The classrooms are fairly OK. Some are airconditioned. The infrastructure is very good and much better when compared to the average colleges.

Hostel life is the best part. Good councils (student-run) to aid the overall running of the campus.
