How is Hostel Life in VIT Chennai?

I am a student in Kota who got around 97–98 percentile in mains and got 73 % in boards so I know how an ideal hostel life should be.

 

I had an induction program of 10 days, it was so exhausting sitting under a tent. Outing from campus is restricted for freshers. Take permission from the proctor or warden. They both find a way of declining it in my every 1 attempt

 

Now as the outing is restricted here, you have to buy stuff from V-mart in colleges that aren’t Vishal Mega mart but it is VIT general store. Everything is out of stock from pens, and notebooks to soap, etc. They don't have any good restaurants on campus too.

 

Now come g to hostel Facilities, VIT has the best hostels and messy food is up to the market have some flaws like in my Ac hostel for which I paid 1,87000 ac only work from 06:00PM TO 06:00AM why no u limited ac on that much of a high price.

 

Now one more fall is hostel WIFI as you know it is only restricted to only 20 GB. It would have been fine if VIT had a good network of telecom companies. 

I live in the VIT hostel and have got recharged my 4 SIM namely, Idea, Vodafone, Airtel, and JIO none of which work properly. The call drop rate is also higher. So how come a CSE student can subscribe to 20 GBs.

 

VIT Chennai Hostel Rules:

There are many weird rules in VIT Vellore and Chennai campus-

Concentrate well on your exams and studies in your first year as improving your CGPA, later on, will be difficult as you will have to neutralize all previous semester grades and it is easier to score earlier also once you get you’re a good GPA, later even if you get bad grades it won’t reduce that much due to the same reason as before
