The hostels also have 24-hour security and medical facilities. Additionally, the hostels have a common room, an indoor games room, and a gym.

The buildings are old given the time they were built, yet the facilities are decent. First-year students are allotted triple occupancy rooms while some are allotted double. This depends on the hostel you are assigned as each hostel has different maps and infrastructure. A typical room in an IIT Delhi has:

• 3 beds occupied by many 
• Three tables, mostly used for keeping bottles and random stuff 
• Three chairs, hardly used for sitting but keeping additional stuff
• 2 almirahs with four slots each.

All these basic amenities make students stay comfortable. After all, hostel life is all about making memories and new friends.
