Hostel rooms for the first year and second year are triple sharing for boys and double sharing for girls, then for the rest of college, everyone has a double sharing room. The hostels are old so don't expect much from hostel rooms but they have all decent amenities like a bed, table, chair, cupboard, charging ports, LAN ports, 1 light, and 1 fan. The hostel also has basic amenities like wifi, water coolers, common washrooms, and 2-3 mess per hostel. The food is good and better than any average college in India. The hostel for second-year boys is exceptionally good because it is newly made and accommodates completed 2nd-year boys. Similarly, 3 more such hostels are being constructed and are really good. Hostel registration is also an easy ongoing process, just requires 2 to 3 documents.

Admission was through the entrance exam JEE MAINS followed by JEE ADVANCE. The rank achieved in JEE ADVANCE allowed me to participate in JOSSA Councelling, through which I got this college and branch. The eligibility for getting into an IIT is determined by a rank cutoff and you should have 75% marks in PCM in 12th boards. The application will be available on JOSSA Website after the result of JEE ADVANCE is published.
