Know your hostels - Siang, Kapili, Dihing, Manas, Kameng, Barak, Umiam and Subansiri



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-

 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.

C. Each room has a LAN socket where you can attach your LAN wire and can enjoy internet service.

D. Every hostel has a mess, a canteen, a fruit shop and a stationary cum departmental shop.

E. In addition to this, every hostel has a sports room where there is a TT table. You can get TT bat from reception, and are available in every hostel.You can play round the clock ant time. However i have no idea what sports facility are there in Subansiri!!

F. Every hostel has a playground where you can play football and cricket.

G. Every hostel has washing machine(s) for students to wash their clothes. The number of washing machine may vary from 2 to 4 (depending on size of the hostel). In addition to these,  there are water heaters (geysers) available in each washroom working 24X7 a week.

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.

5. Kameng, Umiam and Barak. - These are new hostels and quite big. there is no balcony but its space has been compensated in rooms so rooms are bigger.  Kameng has one of the best mess system, very good canteen, and only hostel to have a snooker table. Its the 2nd biggest hostel but is farthest from lecture halls and academic complex. Barak is situated adjacent to Kameng. Quite big, nice sports room and mess. Also has PhD scholars and M.Techs in it but no 4th yearites. Umiam is situated next to barak. Nice mess and hostel.Has all B.techs.

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.
