NIT Trichy runs an extensive on-campus hostel system on its 800-acre campus. 17 hostels — including Cauvery, Krishna, Mahanadi, Tunga, Tapti, Garnet, Opal, Coral, Pearl, Diamond, Topaz, Aquamarine and others — house 8,000+ students by gender and academic year. First-year B.Tech students typically get triple-occupancy rooms with double rooms from the second year and single rooms from the third year by seniority. Annual hostel and mess fees for 2025-26 are heavily subsidised — typically ₹35,000-55,000 per academic year inclusive of mess. Mess service includes vegetarian, non-vegetarian and Jain options across hostels with student-elected mess secretaries; menus combine South Indian, North Indian and limited Continental rotations. Wi-Fi, hot-water geysers, gymnasium access, study lounges, common rooms with TV, washing machines and CCTV-monitored entries are standard. The campus has comprehensive dining including the Convention Centre, Cafeteria and several student-run cafés and tea-snack outlets.
