I reside in the campus hostel. IIT Delhi hostel room is fully furnished with a bed, study table, side table, dressing table, cupboard, wooden shelf, loft, fan and multiple electrical switches for the occupant. Final year btech students, mtech students and phD students get individual rooms while other btech students share a room with a room mate.
