Accommodation Facilities
6.1 Hostels
Hostels at IIT Bombay are one of the best hostels around to stay in.
They double up as living and refreshing place for all students. There are
total 14 hostels in the campus, including 2 women’s hostels. Two more
hostels have been newly constructed, H15 and H16. One wing of H15
(C-Wing) is allotted to UG girl students. Apart from these, one more
hostel, namely, Tansa House is allotted to Projects staff members. New
PhD students are expected to cooperate in sharing room in their first
year (at least). Please note that consumption of liquor/narcotic substance
is strictly prohibited inside the campus/hostel premises, and considered
as a serious offence.
