Do not come here with too many expectations because you are most likely to get disappointed. My friend is currently in 3rd year of B.Tech at NIT Sikkim, and according to his first-hand experience, the hostel scenario is as follows:

BOYS HOSTEL

• Firstly, the boys' hostels are located outside the campus, about 2 km away from the campus.
• There are 3 hostel buildings namely BH-11, BH-12, and BH-13. You will be allotted a room with about 2,3 or a maximum of 4 people to share.
• Although attached bathrooms for each room are a big plus point, you won’t get any wi-fi facility in any of the hostels.
• No matter which hostel you belong to, you will have a common recreation room with TV, TT, carom, etc., and a common mess as well.
• Water and electricity issues are persistent.

GIRLS HOSTEL

• In terms of girls hostels, they are located inside the campus which is a huge plus point.
• The rooms are bigger in size and have attached bathrooms. However, one room is to be shared by 5 girls.
• The mess facility is also separate for all hostels. Also, you will be provided with a wi-fi connection, unlike the boys' hostels.
• There are no issues related to water and electricity shortage.

The hostels might not be the best in terms of infrastructure or facility, it all boils down to the memories you make during your journey. However, if hostel facilities are your topmost priority, then NIT Sikkim is not the place for you.
