'Dharamshala rooms': PhD scholars at IIT Gandhinagar forced to share cramped spaces; viral post sparks backlash over hostel conditions
The Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT-Gn) has long been regarded for its student-centric policies and well-planned campus facilities, which are now grappling with an unexpected housing crisis that sparked concern among its student community. According to a recent report by Ahmedabad Mirror on Wednesday, these scholars were initially promised single occupancy rooms, designed in a way that is suitable for one person. The organisation has also increased hostel fees to Rs 6,000 per student, which is among the highest across IITs. Despite this, the students claim that they are being denied humane living conditions and forced to share rooms in a way that is considered impractical for students. A look at the policy changes in IIT Gandhinagar As per the report, the doctoral students have repeatedly sparked concerns with the IIT-Gn administration without success. Moreover, the established policy treats PhD students joining in December as second-year students for the July hostel reallocation. The process occurs annually when room allocations are made. However, the December 2024 batch had received the same assurance and were the first ones to be given single rooms, but as soon as the students started shifting in, the hostel staff restricted their entry. As per the new policy, the students were informed that two PhD scholars would have to share rooms meant for one. Are students not the priority? The real problem isn't that students insist on a single room shortage, but that the claims of 60 non-student individuals, including postdoctoral fellows, project staff, research assistants, and other employees, are given more priority than them. In response to this, the officials at the Office of Student Affairs explained that current on-campus hostel occupancy stands at 2,633 students. Hence, with 1,095 new students expected across various programs this semester, the total occupancy will cross 2,900. According to officials, they are making some rearrangements by adding fully furnished accommodation across the main road in Palaj village. Netizens react to the IIT-Gn forced room-sharing policy The news has even sparked a buzz on social media. One user on X (formerly called Twitter) shared a couple of pictures and wrote, "Above: IIT BHU final-year hostel room. Below: A prison cell in a European country." Above: IIT BHU final-year hostel A prison cell in a European country. "The situations are improving. Older IITs are renovating their hostels, with the help of insti, and/or alumni help newer iits have better rooms to start with IIT Gandhinagar rooms are like a 3-4 star hotel." "New IITs (below pics are of IIT Gandhinagar) have decent hostel rooms," another said. New IITs (below pics are of IIT Gandhinagar) have decent hostel rooms. "Decent? they look like a dharamshala rooms" While one said, "I refuse to believe that they installed AC in all the rooms. Simply not possible." I refuse to believe that they installed AC in all the rooms. Simply not possible. A Reddit thread linked to this has grabbed the attention of netizens on the same. One user wrote, "This is one place where private colleges shine. And before someone comes at me, no man, we can't survive like rabbits in a a cage. Everyone needs space, comfort, and privacy." "Totally agree bruv. Also, I don't understand why multiple people of Tier-1 colleges just dickride the hostels'/washrooms' conditions — like, dude, you already have a good college, now get the best of both worlds by renting a house/flat nearby," one responded.
