INFRASTRUCTURE & TRANSPORTATION

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 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.
