Now most of you are concerned about how your hostel is and what is in it for you, so i have decided to update this post for you.
I would first suggest you to check your hostel allotment on net before coming here. Most of the students do not check it and then just roam from here to there. for girls, no such problem is there as there is only one girl hostel.
Everybody please check your hostel allotment here-
http://www.iitg.ernet.in/hostelacc/BTech.pdf
Basic specifications of EVERY hostel are -
A. Single rooms to all. So its great and its freedom of self. In older hostels like Kapili, Manas, Dihing, and Siang, there is a balcony provide in each room so you can enjoy the rain. However in new hostels like Barak, Kameng , Umiam there is no balcony as its space have been included in rooms so they have bigger rooms. However in Subansiri, 2 girls per room are allotted.
B. Each room has an attched cupboard where you can keep your belongings. There is a tube-light, a fan, a socket and switches.

Boy`s hostel are-
1. Siang- All B.Techs hostel from year 2015. Mess at siang hostel is really good. The hostel enjoys the best location- ranging from SAC to girls hostel, lecture theaters to acads building....everything is most convenient to a siang hosteler.
Like your hostel page-https://www.facebook.com/sianghostel
2.Kapili- Near siang. It has only btechs. 1st, 2nd,3rd,and 4th yearites. nice mess, nice canteen, and nice location. A very lively atmosphere prevails here.

3.Dihing- A bit far away and located near Manas. All B.Techs.
Join your hostel group-https://www.facebook.com/groups/481621911849917/
4.Manas - A bit far away however one of the best hostels in terms pf facilities provided. Manas community hall (located just adjacent to it) is the place where shopping period is organized for freshers. But mess food quality of Manas is the best.
Join your hostel group-https://www.facebook.com/groups/manashostel/?ref=br_rs
Here is the mess food menu of Manas hostel of IIT guwahati-
Mess food menu-
6. Subansiri - Its big and getting bigger. Girls are allotted rooms as 2 per room. Room design is basically similar to older boys hostel like Kapili or Manas : each room having a balcony, 1 or 2 fan, tubelight, cupboard (attached) , 2 lan connections etc. The hostel has all facilities like stationary cum departmental shop, fruit shop ,canteen, a big tv room and they should be probably having a sports room too...lol.
The best thing about it is it`s location. Its situated adjacent to SAC(student activity center), and lawn tennis court. Professor`s bunglow are siuated in front of it. Behind it is the guest house and guest house lake. Its also very near to IITG hospital, auditorium and lecture halls.
P.S. - Note that mess menu of ALL THE HOSTELS (even Subansiri) is similar to Manas hostel.
What about the girls' hostel?.. You shouldn't be knowing much about it :D ..still..a little description of whatever you know can help
ReplyDeleteWell i dont know much but lets see if i can help-
DeleteThe hostel`s name is Subansiri. Its big and getting bigger. Girls are allotted rooms as 2 per room.

I think i know only this much.
Hope this will prove helpful!!
What about kameng hostel? Please describe it....
ReplyDeleteSorry i forgot to write about it. i have updated it.
DeleteHope you find it helpful1!!
do all the students in subansiri hostel get sharing room or there is an option of single room???
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, all the girls in Subansiri have to share their room. There is no option for single room. However, accordingly rooms are made bigger in size.
DeleteHope your query is answered!!
Is there any procedure to change the alloted hostel because i'd been
ReplyDeletealloted kameng which according to you has no balcony and from my earlier days only i feel kind of mentally suffocated in confined ,non open rooms!
Listen...the room is not fully closed. It has 2 windows. Moreover, new rooms are better as they have ceramic tiling on the floor. Hope this helps.
DeleteRegarding hostel change, well as far as i know, one cannot change his hostel on this basis. Still you can talk to chairman of hostel affairs board Dr.K.V.Krishnan.
Hope your query is answered!!
does kameng hostel have a gym?
ReplyDeleteand a badminton court?
DeleteNone of the hostels have a gym or an indoor badminton court. All these are available in Sports Academic Complex (SAC). However there are open grass grounds in each hostel where volleyball nets are put and where we play cricket!!
DeleteHope your query is answered!!
i am in kameng hostel. Will our rooms get changed from the 3rd sem? or will these rooms be permanent for 4yrs?
ReplyDeleteYes rooms do change after 1st year in Kameng. You will be alloted a new room...according to your choice..and then it will be permanent.
DeleteI dont understand, how will they give us a choice? From the rooms available? what if two people want the same room? Can't I choose to stay in the same room?
DeleteRooms are allotted on your preference. If 2 of you want the same room, then approach the welfare secy of your hostel as he allots the room. So its basically on first come first serve basis. So 1 of you has to compromise...
DeleteDo d rooms hav a cot?
ReplyDeleteAnd wat about water supply?
Cleanliness of d rooms?
Geysers available in d rooms itself?
R d cupboards spacious for all requirements?
Rooms have a Godrej metal bed. Water supply is 24hrs. Rooms are very much clean. Geysers are available in wash rooms. And yes cupboards are spacious.
DeleteAre there arrangements for gettin clothes Ironed ? Or do v hav to get an iron box?
DeleteAn do v require formals for any events?
No formals are required. And you need to iron your own clothes...so if required, so bring an iron.
DeleteHello. Could you please tell me which hostel is allotted to freshers. Are they new or the old ones? And do the hostels have a washing machine for the students? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAll the hostels (Except Dibang and Brahamputra) are allotted to freshers. And yes each floor in every hostel has around 1-2 washing machines.
Deleteis the population of students from various states same or there are many north east students
ReplyDeleteStudent community comprises mainly students from Southern and Western states. So its not that you will find only NE students here...lol (No racism intended)
DeleteShall we have to contact to IIT Guwahati for hostel reccomendation?
ReplyDeletePlease visit IITG site. Its written there that you will be alloted hostels by 17th of July. So you do not need to contact them.
Deletewill hostel room have bathroom accomdation?
ReplyDeleteNo...there are separate washrooms..much similar to what you have seen in 3 idiots. generally a pack of 3-5 washrooms.
Deletedo girls also need bicycle? you mentioned in your post that Subansiri is quite good location wise...
ReplyDeleteare girls supposed to share room only in the first year?
Yes you may require it. Its better to have it. You can also look for distance b/w Subansiri and lecture theaters on google maps and get an idea from there.
DeleteAny student bank facilities ????? should all students open a bank account there ??
ReplyDeleteThere are SBI and Canara Bank inside IITG with their respective ATM. Yes its necessary to open an account in only among these two banks. So its better that you open an account in any SBI branch in your home town
DeleteIm 17 .... so its necessary for parents to come and open the account right ???
DeleteYes..in your case its necessary
Deleteis laptop necessary in first year ?? coz there is no wifi in rooms i guess (only LAN connection ) ...
ReplyDeletecan we manage without laptop ?? what exactly is the use of a laptop in first year other that internet ??
Please read this post..it has all your answers - http://iitguwahatihelper.blogspot.in/2013/07/laptoprequired-or-not.html

You need to share only for 2-3 months.
Deletei have been allotted Brahmaputra Hostel....but it is given in note that BOYS ARE ALLOTED ON SHARING BASIS....that obviously means 2/3 guys per room..???? are the rooms sufficient enough or they have followed the IIT Mumbai pattern of ultra-small rooms where one could hardly breathe..!!!
ReplyDeleteyea..and do they have two lan ports.??....!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can use a lan splitter.
DeleteIs the mess quality in dining system good.
ReplyDeleteYes its ok
Deletei am a fresher ,i have been allotted in kameng hostel, do students get a independent room or a shared basis??

DeleteIs it neccassary to share d room because i never want to share my room.....is there anything we can do about it during registration....i m talking abt boys hostel
ReplyDeleteYou need to share it..but only for 2-3 months
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteis there sharing in old hostels like manas, kapili, dihing or only in the new boys hostel??
ReplyDeleteAll hostels
DeleteHow will two boys live in a room made for one person only? Only one bed and one almirah for two persons doesnt make sense...
ReplyDeleteIITG authorities will surely solve this prob..dont worry
DeleteWhat is the ragging scenario in there??

ReplyDeleteDo the students coming to take admissions provided with hostel facilities during the admission process? Can you please tell me from when are the classes for Phd students for the january session begins (Approximate Date)? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteHello there!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to join summer internship program at IIT- Guwahati. I have been allotted with Barak Hostel. By my google search, I've came too know that this hostel is far too away from the main campus (around 1.4 km away). How could I manage to go all the way to the campus then back to hostel of lunch then back to campus and back to hostel in evening.
Could there be any way by which I could get hostels like Siang or Kapili hostel? And what about the meal of Barak hostel?
can anyone tell wifi settings for dhansiri hostel.. ip address?
ReplyDeletehow do they allot hostels to freshers?
ReplyDeletedo we have any choice regarding that?
No...they are allotted randomly.
DeleteThank god it wasnt a shared room. Can u tell me the academic experience and the free time that Mtech students would have to prepare for something else. And are there any clubs like football club/ cricket club etc..,
ReplyDeleteReally sorry but I am not that familiar with the schedule of M.Tech guys. And yes there are clubs of football, cricket, TT, etc.
Deletefirst of all, u r doing a fantastic job. thank you for that
ReplyDeletewhich hostel is the best in terms of location (to which places like sports complex, lecture halls etc are nearer) and infrastructure?
i have played T.T so do i need to bring a TT racket with me for the test?
You can get the TT racket from hostels or Sports complex. But its better to bring one with you. In terms of location - All hostels have their own pros and cons. In general, Siang and Kapili hostel are quite good in terms of location. And girl's hostel Subansiri is THE best in terms of location.
Deletewhat is the girl to boy ratio there =D?
ReplyDeleteOh com'on!! you already know the answer :P
Deleteno greenery at all! :o
DeleteNot really...but mind you - this is the story of every IIT, no matter which one you choose.
Deletehats off to u buddy!
ReplyDeletei have read all your blogs in that i have found out the u were n 9+ scorer. how do u manage all this ?
wasnt expecting your reply that early :P
Haha..thanks. Blogging is just my another passion apart from studying. I would love to hear from you guys if some info is missing in my blog about which you people would want to know?
Deleteur welcome. sure i will let u know whenever i will find the need.
Deletewhen we will have to opt for NSS/NCC/NSO ?
if i will get into iit guwahati then definitely i would like to meet u.
do u have any idea that which iit is better guwahati or roorkee for CSE?
DeleteNSO/NCC/NSS choices are made in your second year.
DeletePlease do not post questions which compare one IIT to another. I would still go with IITG CSE....but again, its totally your decision.
what exactly are we gonna do in CSE minor ? i intend to be an excellent programmer, so will that help me in this? when we will have to register for minor courses(after which sem i mean)?
ReplyDeleteProgramming is a skill. CSE minor has courses (for ex: Data Structures and Algorithms) which will provide the tools for coding in efficient manner. And there are courses which teach the basics of hardware, etc. Your minor starts from your 3rd sem.
Deletewill we have classes for the same or we will have to study it on our own?
Deletehow is the internet speed there?
DeleteClasses are definitely there for both programming and minor.
DeleteInternet speed is awesome..and don't worry about such things. You are coming to an IIT!!..not some second grade college.
how is the mess food at various hostels? is it hygienic ?
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely hygienic...I mean lots of proteins and stuff.
Deleteis there any limit over eating food in the mess?
Deleteand BTW u get up very early in the morning. :P GOOD keep it up
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteNo there is no limit to it.
DeleteWell, think the other way around...it might be possible that I slept late!! LOL...you will get accustomed to these timings after coming to IIT's.
What about Female PhD scholar's hostel? Do they also get accommodated within subansiri?
ReplyDeleteare the rooms all shared for phd scholars too?
DeleteAll female students gets acco in in either Subansiri or Dhansiri (new girls hostel). However, sorry i dont know if you guys have to share the room or not.
DeleteThanks for the info :)
DeleteCan I arrange my bedding materials & a cycle within the campus? is there any facility for such purpose or I need to go to guwahati?
My parents are also coming along with me for my PhD Registration... how can I arrange a room for them in the guest house? Any mail id to contact? Please help.
DeleteAs for bedding and cycle - There will be mini shops in Manas Community Hall (near Manas Hostel) from where you can get all sort of things like bedding, cycle, etc. But these shops will be there only till the last date of registration.
DeleteBooking a guest house is quite hard as you are still not a student, You can try though by mailing them or calling them. You can find the contact details here - http://www.iitg.ac.in/phones/phonedir/establishment
Thanks a lot !
Deleteanother query is that i have a canara bank ac..is it all right? or it's mandatory to have sbi ac?
DeleteCanara Bank account is fine.
DeleteDo we have to carry mosquito net for night? Also are there any sort of major pest problems?
Deletecan you give me some details about registration & orientation programme? Like what exactly happens on the day?
DeleteWell...i did not find many mosquitoes there. An All-Out would work great.
DeleteFor orientation - Well see it yourself!! I wont spoil the fun :P
what about dhansiri girls hostel??? In this room is given for one person or it is shared?Does it contains balcony?
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a balcony there, but this means that rooms are big. However, i am not sure if they are provided on shared or single basis.
Deleteour hostel accommodations will be given by 21st.. is it necessary to stay there on that day? can i come back to guwahati after taking the charge of my room and visit the campus again the day after?
DeleteYes that is possible.
Deleteis there anyone available in the girls' hostel for the set up LAN connection in the laptop? as I'm not a computer expert, that's why asking..
DeleteYou cannot set up your lan untill you get your id and password. That will take 1-2 weeks.
Deleteokay! is there any vehicle available within the campus apart from bicycle? during the shopping period, how will one manage to bring the mattress and all the heavy stuffs to his/her hostel?
Deleteplease tell more about barak ? (location etc)
ReplyDeleteyou have to update it now siang have the best mess and all here are btechs
ReplyDeleteYeah thanks. Done!!
DeletePlease give an insight into the hostel for MSc students
ReplyDeleteSingle accommodation, good mess (if hostel == Brahamputra, Lohit and Umiam), better rooms, a bit farther from academic complex (if hostel != dibang). That's all I can recall. (Dibang's canteen is great. Try Veg fried rice and cheese stuffed parantha from there :P )
DeleteOh okkay thanks. Looking forward to being there!
DeleteWhat is the bathroom sharing ratio for the hostel dwellers in IIT-Guwahati, i.e.,1 bathroom per how many students?
ReplyDeleteLol..a weird query. I guess this must be coming from a parent or someone. So in a single bathroom, we usually have 3 sinks with 3 mirrors, 3 pots, and 3 shower rooms. This whole setup is shared by 15-18 students.
DeleteIn IIT-Guwahati hostel mess can we have our own choice of food items. If not then are there any tiffin service available in or near the campus. Actually i am allergic to some foods items.
ReplyDeleteSo typically you will have multiple options in mess also (like rice, or chappati). Apart from that, each hostel has a canteen where you can get stuff like maggi, dosa, pao bhaji and what not! Plus we also have an amazing food court which has Subway, Baskin Robins, Cafe Coffee Day, a fully functional restaurant, a bakery, a south Indian restaurant, and a pizza shop (and this food court is very near to hostels :P ). So plenty of options available.
