How are the boys hostels for first year undergraduates at MANIT Bhopal?

As a B.Tech fresher at MANIT Bhopal, you’ll be allotted Hostel 10. Here are the pros and cons of this hostel-

• Location- The classes for freshers are held in NTB (new teaching block). NTB is 1.5 kilometers away from H-10, so you’ll have to walk around 6-7 kilometers daily. Cycling is the best way to travel from H-10 to NTB, and back.

• Availability of basic necessities- The student corporate store inside the hostel will meet most of your necessities. 

• Mess- The mess serves decent and well balanced meals. But you’ll soon get bored of the mess food, and begin to dislike it. 

• Sports facilities- Both the blocks have a table tennis room. The hostel has badminton and volleyball courts inside it. You can play cricket in the hostel compound.

• Internet facilities- The entire hostel is equipped with wifi connectivity. The internet speed depends upon your room, but normally it is 1 mbps. LAN facility is not available in the hostel.

• Network- Jio signals are quite weak, but Airtel works fine.

• Washrooms- Each floor has two sets of washrooms. Geysers aren’t installed in the bathrooms, so you’ll have to bring your own immersion rod (it is not allowed, but no checking takes place). 

• TV room- The hostel has a tv room, but it is hardly used by anyone.

• Security- H-10 is heavily guarded by security guards. In the first 2-3 months, the security is exceptionally tight. So you need not worry about ragging.

• Rooms- The rooms are in good condition. They were built for two occupants. But because of lack of accommodation, each one is shared by three students.

Overall, the first year hostel is quite decent. You’ll enjoy your stay at Hostel 10 of MANIT Bhopal.
