All the first-year students will be residing in the Arugul campus, the permanent campus of the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar. There are two separate hostels for boys and girls in which 2 students will be allotted a room. Considering the fact that students have been facing considerable academic pressure and stress, the institute has decided to put 2 students in a room for the first year and then have individual rooms for the next year. This also helps students to bond better. Once the new hostels are built, each student will be allotted a single occupancy room. The hostel is fully ventilated and hygienic with regular cleaning. There is provision for 24-hour high-speed internet connectivity via LANs in the hostels. Students can register their complaints in the hostel office regarding any issue like maintenance or hygiene.
