NIT Calicut Hostels: Fees & Rooms details 2024

One of my friends once shared his experiences considering the Hostel of NIT Calicut, whether it is good or bad or anything, but the student must be prepared to incident all kind of things at the time of staying in the hostel.

• There are 4 people in one room, specifically in the first year, second year, and third year. However, it is fine and can be accepted.
• The hostel rooms of NIT Calicut are prepared for 3 accommodations only, that in a room, 3 students can stay; there are 3 beds with proper spacing in the room, 3 cupboards, and charging points.
• My friend told me that the college administration might try to bring all the students very close to each other to increase unity. The reason behind this thinking is that 4 students are staying in one single room, although the accommodation is for 3 students in each room.

You might be given a basic crash course regarding the student's body language. This will help you to understand the language spoken by hostel guards and managers as they were from Kerala and speak in Malayalam. Thus, the students from North India and Andhrapradesh (Telegu) must be ready to face this issue in the hostel.

There is always an electricity problem is a hostel, and a student has to use their own mobile data to perform their academics and assignment. Because no electricity means no internet, no fan, no light, and this is very common in the hostel of NIT Calicut. Students may face 2 nights without electricity.

Hostels in NIT C for the PG students are not good. Students are allotted to the Professor's Apartment in their first tear. 

• The apartment consists of a flat which has 3 rooms, kitchen and 1 hall i.e. equivalent to a 3 BHK flat. But the number of students in each flat depends on the number of rooms each flat possesses. 
• Along with that, some students get the golden opportunity of residing in halls or even in the kitchens. 
• The toilets according to the number of students are always less and then there is always a queue outside the bathroom gate in the morning. There are a total of 14 to 16 students per flat. 
• The journey from apartments to college is like going on a trek. Now they have started a bus service.

This was the scenario of the first year and for the second year students, the scenario is a bit different. The second-year students are mostly accommodated in the MBA hostels which have toilets attached with the rooms but are far from the previous apartments where you were living in the first year. 

Wi-Fi is available on the campus and works well for the new buildings and hostels. At the time of joining they will tell you that the new hostels are under construction and will be ready to move soon. 

Please take a note that if possible go for the kitchen as that will be the only single room accommodation available for you as a PG student in NIT Calicut.

One of my friends had studied at NIT Calicut and here are some facts he shared about the college. These might answer your question.

• The students of M.Tech at NIT Calicut are provided with double sharing rooms in the mega hostels and MBA hostels. 
• The hostel rooms are allotted on the basis of first come first serve. 
• The hostel is well equipped with all the basic amenities.
• You will not be provided with an internet connection and have to arrange it yourselves.
• The mega hostel is not very far from the campus however the MBA hostel is quite far from the main campus. 
• However, the institute has arranged transportation facilities for the students for travelling from hostel to campus every 30 minutes.

It would be recommended to talk to the current student of this college, as they can give you a better picture of the current scenario.

NITC MBA hostel is one of the newest hostels on the campus. The MBA hostel is exclusively for boys, and the rooms are large enough for two people. Each room has two beds (no mattress), two tables, two chairs, two almirah, one fan, one tube light, and two windows.

For every two rooms, there is a shared bathroom. The hostel also has a good laundry service. The mess is close to the hostel. Overall, it's a very nice hostel with good facilities and lots of greenery. The hostel has the capacity to accommodate around 300 students, including visiting faculty.

A separate ultra-modern hostel facility for girls is also available. The girls' hostel has a mini-canteen, an indoor shuttle court, a gymnasium, and an extension of the co-operative society store.

No, staying in the NIT Calicut hostel for a PG student is not at all compulsory. The administration will ask you to be available throughout the day on the campus and staying in the hostel comes under the residential program but it's not compulsory. No one can force you to avail of hostels. 

Staying in the other hostels or PG would be costlier and the hostels at NIT Calicut are supposed to be cheaper. There are a number of rooms with AC within 150 meters from the campus in or near Koyyapuram Apartments. 

Therefore, it depends on your will whether to stay in a hostel or anywhere outside the campus and no one can interfere in your decision.
