IMPORTANT NOTES:
Hostel rooms will be allotted on first come first serve basis. There can be guys from different branches in same room.
Hostels are well equipped with LAN and Wi-Fi. You will not be able to access them immediately but you can, in a day or two after you get user id and password from IT section at IIT Ropar.
Register yourself with library as early as possible as it will be the sole source for your initial study
Get your bonafide certificates from the academic section on first or very next day as it will help you to get a new mobile connection and a bank account at IIT Ropar branch of SBI
Get yourself an account at SBI branch IIT Ropar asap, as it will be the only account you can handle easily and easily access from the campus itself for your stay in campus.
Get in touch with your seniors asap as they will be a handy source to guide you well for remaining rest of your 4 years
Necessary Things to buy for hostels
1. Scientific Calculator – fx 991 ES (preferably) or Fx 991-MS. You will require this more than your books for next four years. So it is better to buy it from home only.
2. A well conditioned medium size college bag. Forget about all the movie stuffs you will have to carry much more here. In later stages laptop will be the thing you will be carrying the most
3. Bedsheets .But no special need of buying daily stuff like bucket, mug and matteresses from home as they will be available to buy inside the campus on the day of registration. Also it is good to buy from there only.
4. Some locks and keys as you will have to lock your luggage on the first day as it will be very busy .
After that it will be ok …
Facilities inside and around campus:
5. 1 cafeteria inside the campus generally open from 8 in the morning to 2:00 AM in the night.
Also there are some food shops just outside the campus which are good hangout spots in the evening.
6. Laundary services are available within the hostels. You just have to give Rs10 for 10 clothes and you are done. Giving your own detergent is optional.
7. 1 stationary shop inside campus and 3 just outside the campus gate.
8. Geysers are available inside the hostels 24 hrs. Believe it most of us use only once a week in winters 😛
9. In initial stages laptop will not be necessary as you will be having 2 computer labs and that will be sufficient. Also laptop at such a starting stage gets you neglect your study more….its just a general experience‼!
