Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

Most students at IIT Madras reside in the hostels, where extracurricular activities complement the academic routine. The campus has 18 hostels, of which three, Sharavati, Sarayu and the recently constructed Sarayu Extension (at the beginning of the Academic year 2011-'12 to accommodate more girls students of various PG programmes) are exclusively for women. In earlier times each hostel had attached dining facilities but many of them have been closed down. Sharavati, Sarayu Extension and four seven-storeyed men's hostels do not have mess halls. Dining facilities are provided in two centralised halls dubbed 'Vindhya' and 'Himalaya'. The hostels may accommodate undergraduate and graduate students, though they tend to keep the two apart. Students are assigned to hostels at the time of admission, where they usually spend their entire stay at the Institute. The hostels are named after the principal rivers of India and the campus dining facilities are named after mountains, resulting in an epigram about IIT Madras that it is the only place where the mountains move and the rivers remain still. The halls of IITM are: Hostel Name Nick Name Type Alakananda Alak Boys Hostel Brahmaputra Brahms Boys Hostel Cauvery --- Boys Hostel Ganga --- Boys Hostel Godavari Godav Boys Hostel Jamuna Jam Boys Hostel Krishna --- Boys Hostel Mahanadhi --- Boys Hostel Mandakini Mandak Boys Hostel Narmada Narmad Boys Hostel Pampa --- Boys Hostel Saraswathi Saras Boys Hostel Sindhu --- Boys Hostel Tamaraparani Thambi Boys Hostel Tapti --- Boys Hostel Sarayu --- Girls Hostel Sarayu Extension --- Girls Hostel Sharavathy Sharav Girls Hostel Sabarmathi Newly Opened Girls Hostel Sindhu, Pampa, Mahanadhi and Tamiraparani are seven-storeyed whereas all the other (older classic) hostels are three or four storeyed. These four hostels can accommodate more than 1,200 students. The older hostels were all three-storeyed till the early 2000s when extra rooms in the form of an extra floor and rooms above the common room were added. An additional new floor in the three-storeyed hostels which generally house the undergraduate students and a new block in place of the mess halls of these hostels have been constructed to accommodate for the increased intake of the students. These new blocks could be used as entrances for these hostels.
