The IIT Madras Campus

Where you live

Hostels — your home for 4 years

Every BTech student lives on campus for 4 years. Hostels at IITM are more than just rooms — they're communities with common rooms, sports courts, canteens, and their own cultural identities.

🏠

17 Hostels

Separate hostels for boys, girls, and postgrad students. Most are AC. All have high-speed Wi-Fi and 24/7 access.

🍽️

Mess & Canteens

Each hostel has its own mess. Plus multiple canteens, Nescafé outlets, and a Food Court for variety.

🏀

Sports Facilities

Basketball, badminton, table tennis, volleyball courts within or near most hostels. Central sports complex too.

Campus infrastructure

Everything you need, inside the gates

IITM's campus is large enough to need a bus service. Within it: a hospital, shopping area, bank, ATMs, swimming pool, tennis courts, a 400m athletics track, multiple auditoriums, and a research park the size of a small city.

🏊

Sports Complex

Olympic-size swimming pool, indoor courts, athletics track, gym — all available to students.

🏥

Healthcare on Campus

A full hospital with doctors, pharmacy, and specialists. Free basic care for students.

🌿

Guindy National Park

The campus shares a boundary with Guindy National Park — meaning you'll literally walk past spotted deer on the way to class.
