Hostel Allocation in Cautley Bhawan

Cautley Bhawan, the prime choice for students, boasts an occupancy rate of 80%, making it one of the most sought-after hostels at IIT Roorkee. It is supplemented by other Bhawans such as Radha Krishna Bhawan, Azad Bhawan, and Ravindra Bhawan. Each of these hostels can be easily located on Google Maps, with detailed images available for viewing.

Staff management prioritizes accommodating students in Cautley Bhawan whenever possible. This is followed by allocating the remaining students to other available Bhawans based on the current availability. Given any specific needs or disabilities, the management can also accommodate students in a hostel closer to their department.

Facilities and Management

While all hostels at IIT Roorkee provide almost similar menus, the quality and hygiene standards may vary slightly. Cautley Bhawan stands out with excellent food and ambiance. It houses 90 two-bedding rooms, with the option of single-seater rooms, which are often reserved for freshmen.

There are various options for students, including Cautley Bhawan and other Bhawans like Ganga Bhawan. Freshers typically get accommodated in Cautley Bhawan, while some who join through the Spot Round may get Ganga Bhawan if Cautley Bhawan is fully occupied.

Allocation Policies for Freshmen

Freshmen are allocated to Cautley Bhawan as a matter of priority, and they are provided with double-seater rooms. However, there is a possibility to retain a double-seater room or move to a single-seater room in the second year, provided there are vacancies.

For girls, similar priority is given, and either Kasturba Bhawan or Sarojini Bhawan is allotted based on student preferences and vacancy availability.
