Hi, I’m a 2nd year undergraduate student at IIITN.

One thing I want all of you to understand clearly: the WhatsApp group made for the 2030 batch is completely run and controlled by 1st year students. Some of them may be genuine and helpful, but many of them are heavily biased.

To be very precise — the owners of that group mostly want attention, popularity, and influence in college. They want juniors to follow them and treat them like some official guides of the college, which they are not.

My advice:
For important and critical questions regarding academics, hostel life, coding culture, placements, branch realities, or the actual college environment, try contacting seniors from BT24 or BT23 directly on linkedin. They are generally more mature and experienced enough to give practical and honest answers.

Do not blindly follow this “bhaiya-didi” culture created by 1st year students. Most of them are simply not mature or experienced enough yet to guide you properly on serious matters.

My personal experience:
When I joined this college, I also interacted through these groups. Later I realized that many of those so-called guides were mostly interested in attention, fame, and becoming popular. In reality, many of them were nowhere significant in academics or other activities.

Conclusion:
Do not blindly trust WhatsApp groups run by random students. Instead, connect with genuine seniors through platforms like LinkedIn and ask your important questions directly to experienced people.

Hi im a senior of IIITN
Dia Hostel was never perfect.
There were problems, washrooms would flood sometimes, things could have definitely been managed better, and hostel life here had its own chaos.

But honestly, at the end of the day, this place gave me some of the best memories, amazing people, late night conversations, laughter, struggles, and moments I’ll never forget.

TLDR: I HATE THIS HOSTEL FROM BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND WOULD NEVER SUGGEST ANYONE TO TAKE IT. go rent a flat or something, if your parents are not convinced ask some dia hostel student to talk to ur parents

cons:

1. meh food, if u have lived in a hostel before u know how it goes.. good food initially -> quality downgrades -> protest and complain -> new chief appointed -> good food initially -> .. loop repeats. The problem is also not just taste, but also that the timetable is not followed at times, food quantity jaan buch kar kum rakhte hai especially for breakfast and snacks, salads in lunch and dinner. Abhi protest ke baad steel ki plates agayi for lunch and dinner only.
2. rickshaw wale will loot you. 100rs per trip one way from dia hostel to butibori. for your kind info it takes 50rs from butibori to sitabardi, nagpur which is like 25ish km maybe, but it takes 100rs for few kms from dia hostel to butibori.
3. bus ki dikkat. inke paas number of students se kum buses hai, abhi exams ke wakt kuch buses ayi thi but im not sure ki ye next pure year hogi bhi ya nhi. aur agar bus ho bhi to esa nhi hai ki jab chaho tab niklegi, sometimes u need to wait 30 minutes - 1 hour because there are not enough students in bus. sometimes the bus is already full and students are standing but the driver will wait for more students to come kyuki unko aur trips nhi marni
4. depressive mahol: the infrastructure, locality, overall esthetics are pretty depressive. this is pretty subjective, pictures wagera mai to kabhi kabhi sundar lagta hai but 9/10 days par its just a prison cell.
5. saare bathroom ke nal, sprays, shower, flushes nhi chalte, like each wing has around 10 bathrooms but usually 3 hi acche hote hai and sab ka alag alag usage hai, like kisime bath le sakte ho but uska flush nhi chalta so koi aur mai jana padega for that purpose. kisime flush + shower chal raha hai to maybe basin ka nal nhi chalega.. etc. annoying + bheed hojati hai. i was not able to bath multiple times despite waking at 8 am kyuki bheed hi itni hoti thi.
6. seniors dont need to follow any queues, apparently they are not breaking any rule cause ITS ALLOWED BY DIA MANAGEMENT. so agar aap aadhe ghante se paneer keliye line mai hai aur ek bhaiaya aakar apke samne ghuss ke 2 minute mai khana lekar chale jaate hai to chutiya unko nhi khudko bolo ki yaha hostel kyu leliya.
7. lastly, the dia hostel mentality u develop over time: har baar dimag mai bus survival chalta reheta hai.. "arey subha hogayi? jaldi bhag kar breakfast karne jata hu warna bheed hojayegi kaha khatam hojayega." "arey yaar badmai roti khatam hojayegi abhi se 3 leleta hu" "bus mai jaga nhi milegi chodho breakfast skip kar deta hu" "yaar nahana hai par mere floor ke bathrooms itne gande hai, chodho 3 floor chadh kar sabse top waale floor mai naha leta hu" "yaar line mai reh kar fayda nhi ye baki log vese bhi line tod rahe hai koi kuch bol bhi nhi raha". I personally hate that this was the mentality i was developing.

pros:

sorry i couldn't think of anything i liked about this hostel, except for the friends i made

the official site for checking gate cutoff is https://admissions.nic.in/admiss/admissions/orcrjacd/105012521

But it had problem that you can't sort the data according to score. without it you can't use it.

So i extracted the data and created a site where I can easily check cutoffs and find the best for me.

Sharing here so everyone can use it for free 😄.

As someone currently staying at Dia Hostel, and after living in multiple hostels over the years, I genuinely feel Dia is not perfect — but it’s still far better than many other hostels out there.

People creating chaos and nonstop protests need to think practically as well. We’re paying around ₹1 lakh yearly, which roughly comes to ₹8,300 per month including stay, 3 meals, and travel facilities. Considering that, the facilities are decent.

Obviously, if someone wants premium services, higher charges will also come with it. Constructive criticism is fine, but unnecessary drama and negativity help nobody.

Instead of constant outrage, maybe we should focus on practical solutions and improvements.

Only people who are negative plus zero work will start to fight for it

Flat ke options jo dera hai, tell me honestly after such a long ciruculam will u able to manage your travel, making food after college & Cleaning the house

Baaki hostels toh are worse than this

Pec ECE vs BIT MESRA ( ECE/AI&ML) VS IIITs like Pune/Guwahati/Surat/Una/Nagpur (CSE/ECE)... really confused among these

Just need good internships and placements ,decent balanced college life , good opportunities in future, reasonable fees( can take loan too if worth it)

And am ready to put some extra efforts in college ...

Just confused about the colleges

Also does the IIIT tag really matter that much?

Honest opinions please guys :)

i had to stay outside the college for 2 years and seeing today's drama im sure that there is no guarantee of me getting a hostel even in my pre-final year.

bc itna retarded and stupid kaise? Apply for hostel by filling a form that's first come first serve ? i mean kya hai ye how can anyone think this is FAIR?? this is much worse than the payment method. and the more amusing part for this is - we are accepting this. no questions asked nothing. didn't any of u guys even had a thought on how this is fair. We already have a limited hostel problem and there is nothing we can do about that.

but cant they make the new batch of First years to stay outside completely, dont u think this way we would get hostel for 3 consecutive years. how do they think to coordinate while half the batch is staying outside and half of them inside... isn't this better than some of us not getting a hostel for 3 years?

what im saying is - this issue was raised during the protest but they just ignored it.

if we are more Vocal now there is still a chance. the JoSAA counselling process hasn't started and before they give timings for registering the hostel again think of this.

if not this more than half of bt25 is going to suffer just like we did.

and don't u guys think private tender problems like dia can be solved too, as the whole 1st year stays there - class timings and schedules can be made without hassles, and their problems can be easily addressable.
and i propose ki before they take another stupid decision they should at least get a feed back from us

I am so confused right now I secured 97.4 percentile in jee mains and am thinking about taking cse or ai ml in iiit nagpur is it worth or others iiit which within my range are better . Homestate maharashtra

I am seeing other iiit like sri city , surat perform so well meanwhile in our college for the 26 batch the placements don't really look good and all the batches from here on will have 600 people graduating ... Things don't really look that good for us..

Any junior who is willing to shift in Vedarya Apartment, here is the list of items which is available for purchasing.
