Hostel at IIT Bombay 2026 — CollegeAndFees

IIT Bombay runs an extensive on-campus hostel system on its 550-acre Powai campus — 18 hostels (Hostels 1-18) housing students by gender and academic year. First-year B.Tech students typically get triple or double-occupancy rooms with single rooms from the second year by seniority. Annual hostel and mess fees for 2025-26 are heavily subsidised — typically ₹40,000-65,000 per academic year inclusive of mess. Mess service includes vegetarian, non-vegetarian and Jain options across hostel messes; many hostels have student-elected mess secretaries running customised menus. Wi-Fi, hot-water geysers, gymnasium access, study lounges, common rooms with TV, washing machines and CCTV-monitored entries are standard. The campus has its own dining options including Gulmohar (the central food court), several cafés, the IITB Convention Centre catering and tea/coffee/snack stalls. No formal curfew given senior-cohort culture; quiet hours observed in study areas.
