How is the girls’ hostel at IIT Guwahati?

Rithi DasguptaB.Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology, Guwahati (IIITG)

IIT Guwahati has two girls’ hostels namely Subansiri and Dhansiri.

Subansiri Hostel: Named after the largest tributary of the Brahmaputra, this hostel was Inaugurated in 2003. The occupants are research scholars, UGs, and PGs. It houses more than 50O students and has all the necessary amenities to make its occupants feel at home. Some amenities include - Canteen, Juice center, TV room, Library, Badminton court, TT table, and more.

These will help you get a break from the academic rush. Various events like the hostel day, freshers' party, farewell, and the world cups, make the hostel life dynamic and lively.

Are parents allowed in hostels of IIT GUWAHATI at the time of registration?

Anirudh MukharjeeStudied at Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG)

Yes, parents are allowed in the hostels of IIT Guwahati at the time of registration. Parents visit their children to help unpack their stuff and organize them,

However, parents are not allowed to spend the night at hostels and thus ask your parents to book a hotel to avoid any sort of inconvenience. Usually, the rules in the girls' hostel are more strict than the boys' hostel and only mothers are allowed inside their hostels.

What you can do is, book a hotel room for your Prerna on tracing Guwahati. There are many hotels near the railway station. After completing the registration and accommodation formalities, let your parents go back to their hotel while you can stay in your room for the night. You can have lunch together by paying at the hostel mess.

Are we allowed to go outside the hostels at night in IIT Guwahati?

Pranay PednekarStudied at IIT Guwahati

By ‘outside the hostel’ you can mean two things; inside the campus or outside the campus. Well, I am here to talk about both scenarios:

Inside campus

For boys, there is no deadline and they can stroll through the campus even after midnight. Many boys like taking a walk at night and listening to their favorite music. However, girls are expected to return to their hostels before midnight, or else they have to do a late entry. The warden may or may not take action against this.

Outside the campus

Students are not allowed to stay outside the campus later than 10 30. The faculty in charge may be informed in case of any rules not being followed.

What are the essential things that I should bring to my hostel at IIT Guwahati as a fresher?
