HOSTEL NEWS

For the first time in NITW history,single rooms are open to all. But there was an ambiguity in the hostel application form. options include
1-14th block
2-megahostel
3-1-13 blocks
As 14th and mega hostels are single rooms. Those who wanted double and triple rooms had to go for 1-13 blocks. But they wont b havng any guarantee which blocks they would get. Viewing this possibility as a problem many have switched to the safer side by opting costly megahostels over 1-13 blocks. But this problem can be solved easily by giving ur desired block numbers in the option form.

Second problem was about the mess allotment. The 14th and mega hostel boarders cant apply for old messes and would have to dine at the college food court. The food court being private, is bound 2 demand more charges for mess food. According to information i got, it would be around Rs55 /day as against Rs40/day in messes(though it might increase this year). And the food quality will also not guaranteed.

AS OF MY OPINION OPTING MEGA HOSTELS MEANS LOOSING A HELL LOT OF MONEY THIS YEAR
