Hostels, VIT

A home away from home, the hostels at VIT are more than four walls and a roof. They have been designed to provide a comfortable, safe, inclusive and secure living as they provide opportunities to form lasting friendships and ease the transition from home to college. Residential staff are always available to support the students. Living on campus provides students with opportunities to connect with a diverse population, develop stronger interpersonal and communication skills, engage in campus leadership, organisations and activities and engage in community living.

VIT, Vellore campus accommodates over 22,000 residents every year. Facilities and amenities provided include AC (Air-Conditioned) and Non-AC single and shared bed options, rooms equipped with basic furnishing, uninterrupted water and power supply supported by stand-by captive generators, first aid centre, pharmacy, photocopy service, food kiosks, gymnasium (AC & Non-AC), swimming pool, sport amenities, laundry service, Wi-Fi service, beauty salon, tailoring unit, driving, dance and music classes, utility shop and visitor rooms. Apart from the Wardens, Supervisors, maintenance staff and security guards, the Hostels also have Resident Professional Student Counsellors whom the students can approach any time for any academic or personal issues. Male and Female Counsellors are available in the respective hostels as well as academic blocks. The room allotment is done on the basis of the academic performance (GPA/CGPA) of the students.

VIT takes utmost care in the security of its students. An added security measure has been implemented in the Ladies Hostel whereby, a Female Security accompanies the female student to and from the campus to the nearest railway station or bus stop during late night / early hours of the day. A spacious Visitors' Lounge has recently been added for the benefit of visiting parents/guardians, supplementing the residential guest house facilities available.

Healthy, wholesome food and a variety of dining options are available to the hostel students. The clean and spacious vegetarian and non-vegetarian dining halls in the hostels serve wholesome, nutritious food. Given the great diversity of tastes and cultures, students have access to multi-cuisine catering services that serves vegetarian, non-vegetarian, Indian and International food. Foreign students are also given the option to select their menu. Students can also choose and order from a limited list of special dishes available on prior registration at the Restaurant-style Mess. A balanced menu is prepared every month by the Student Mess and Menu Committee in consultation with the hostel administrators.

Hostel review committee meetings are conducted periodically, to address students’ queries and requirements and to keep them updated on any latest services and events. Students are also encouraged to give suggestions to improve the hostel facilities. Diverse events are periodically organised within the hostels to help the students unwind, network, exhibit their talents and volunteer with the community they live in and study with. To name a few, weekend movie screenings, DJ nights, cultural and sports events are made available for the residents. There are regular visits to old age homes and children’s homes to inculcate a sense of social responsibility in the students. Mandatory workshop on Self-Defence is arranged for female students and special lectures are regularly hosted in the hostels.
