Hostel at IISc 2026 — CollegeAndFees

IISc Bangalore runs a comprehensive on-campus residential system with separate hostels for boys and girls and married-student housing. B.S. programme students are housed across hostels including Manasa, Saraswati, Yamuna, Tunga, Krishna, Ganga, Kaveri (women) and Mahanadi/Kaveri/Tungabhadra (men). Rooms are typically single occupancy in well-maintained heritage and modern buildings. Mess service is comprehensive with vegetarian and non-vegetarian counters across multiple mess centres on campus, and hostel charges including mess for 2025-26 are highly subsidised — typically ₹35,000-55,000 per academic year reflecting IISc's status as a premier government-funded research institute. Wi-Fi, hot-water geysers, common rooms, study lounges and 24-hour security are standard. The campus encourages strong academic-residential life with no formal curfew but disciplined research-culture norms. Campus dhabas, the IISc Gymkhana and student-run cafés provide additional dining options.
