Ask Counsellor
IIT Delhi runs an extensive on-campus hostel system on its 320-acre Hauz Khas campus — 13 men's hostels (Aravali, Girnar, Jwalamukhi, Karakoram, Kumaon, Nilgiri, Satpura, Shivalik, Vindhyachal, Zanskar and others) and 4 women's hostels (Himadri, Kailash, Kara and Udaigiri). First-year B.Tech students typically get double-occupancy rooms with single rooms from the second year. 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 at separate counters across all hostels, with student-elected mess secretaries managing menu and service. Wi-Fi, hot-water geysers, common rooms, study lounges, gymnasium access, washing machines and CCTV-monitored entries are standard. No formal curfew given the senior-cohort culture; quiet hours are observed in study spaces. The IITD campus has its own bank, post office, ATM, market and several cafés.
