NIT Trichy, Tiruchirappalli - Hostel Details

The NIT Trichy campus is covered in greenery and located away from the main city. Because of this, the campus weather is comparatively pleasant. The common mode of transportation for students within the campus are bicycles. No powered vehicles, including motorcycles are allowed for students. 

Boys are strictly prohibited from entering the girls’ hostels. Fresher boys are allotted double and triple sharing rooms in one of the four hostels (Garnet A,B,C- double sharing rooms, Agate- triple sharing rooms). Garnet C does not have a proper water filter, so try avoiding that hostel. 

The campus is ragging free, and senior boys are not allowed inside fresher hostels. All the fresher hostels are decent. The hostellers of NITT have access to free wifi. The second year hostels are the same as fresher hostels, but they have lifts. There are three hostels for 2nd year boys. 

The hostel facility is thus, quite decent at NIT Trichy. 

For fresher B.Tech boys, there are four hostels at NIT Trichy. These are- Agate, Jade, Diamond and Coral. The rooms at these hostels are three/four seater, and have enough space to accommodate the furniture of each occupant. All of these hostels have decent wifi facilities. 

Each one of them has its own pros and cons. Agate gets good wifi speed, and is comparatively close to most academic buildings. Jade is the farthest from every college building, but it has its own cricket ground on the backside. Moreover, its rooms are well ventilated. Jade experiences a water cut once every two months, and every hostel experiences a 15 minute power cut once a month. 

The fresher hostels at NIT Trichy are decent and liveable.
