INFRASTRUCTURE & TRANSPORTATION

There are total 13 hostels in IIT Varanasi in which 11 are for boys and 2 are for girls. Hostel fee is nominal about INR 24,000 including mess charge. Not allowed. Among all IIT's in India, IIT Varanasi is considered the best in terms of food. Under the mess charge about INR 24000 per year. Not so good as it is the oldest university of India which became an IIT in 2012 infrastructure is just satisfactory or less.

There are 9 hostels. Hostels are pretty decent with limited facilities required for a student. Hostel fee is meagre and cost 70 rupees for 4 months. Haven't seen any PG so can't comment on it.
Food is primarily north Indian and completely depends on the mess allotted to you .in Indian Institute of Technology, [IIT] Varanasi, It ranges from 10/10 to 1/10.

INFRASTRUCTURE & TRANSPORTATION

A total of 10-12 hostels for IIT. College food is above average and nearby markets are cheap for the kind of food they provide. Infrastructure isn't really that nice.
