How’s your hostel experience?
Hostels are assigned to you at UILS based on your merit rank. Boys usually have an easier time getting into hostels, whereas girls have a harder time.
So, in your first year, you’ll be assigned to a dormitory based on your merit level. A waiting list will be created as a result.
If you don’t get a hostel seat in your first year, there are vacancies in hostels every year, and you will be assigned one later, based on your semester exam performance.
However, for the boys’ hostel, this will is not an issue. On the day of counselling, you will be given a prospectus about the hostel. The fees are quite affordable.
Lastly, the hostel charges include cost of rent, water, and power. Other than this there are additional charges for other facilities like mess, administration, etc.

What are some of the things you’d advise to a 1st year aspirant who enters your college?
I would advise all first-year applicants to participate in as many competitions and voluntary activities as possible.
Break free from your comfort zone and do new activities that makes you nervous.
Take advantage of every chance that comes your way. Don’t put off any assignments or projects, and finish everything on time.
Try to answer questions in classes and stay in good standing with all your teachers.
Make an additional effort to learn everything you can about the college you’re attending, from the curriculum to the infrastructure, so you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into.
