SCOOP!!-Hostels

STATUS:

Void some electrical and internal furnishing work,most of the hostel construction work is nearly done.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

The hostels,are spread over a spacious area of close to 8 acres,including the Boys and the Girls hostels.

A picturesque(active only during the rainy season) lake partially separates the Boys and the girls hostel,but that is only during the monsoon season.

IT is still unclear if a playground will be coming up or not(there is quite some empty space about 2-3 acres in between the girls and boys hostel),but one thing is for sure the land which separates the both hostels can’t be used for more hostel  blocks(Without loads of ground ground work to strengthen the land/soil :)),and hence the management may have no other option than making it a playground :P.

Whether the ground will come up(if at all it does!) for  use this academic year or the next is still under wraps.

TRANSPORT:

That will be the major question everyone will be asking,the reason is simple,the hostels are located about 1.5-2km away from the main campus of GITAM University(Hyderabad),how much ever the management may assure you that “They are just behind the main building”,the fact is they aren’t.

Buses will be plying from the hostels to the campus,and the road leading to the hostels is currently under expansion to take the toil of buses.

FEES:

The hostel fee details will be announced shortly on the blog,since the sources of the Blog aren’t  sticking to any particular amount!

But,we expect it to be about 4,000 per month,that is about 48,000 per annum.

AREA COVERED:

The boys hostels are spread spaciously over 4 acres of land or 16,469 sq.m of land(2 blocks,1 mess,and a another block planned,planned ground),While the  girls hostels are a littler smaller being about 2.4 acres or 11,308 sq.m(2 blocks) to be precise. 

FIRST PICTURES!

THE GROUND:

The plan is to have a common ground ,the following is the land between the Boys and the girls hostel,and sources have it that iwhtin the next 10-12 months,it will be remade as a ground with volley ball courts and stuff like that :)

The sources,are true but it only remains to see,if the management will be willing to push it forward or not :P 

 

  Clearing needed

Lets hope they just clear out the weeds and let the tress stay,if at all the ground comes in.

BLOCK THREE:

A third block of building,might eventually come up next to the two existing boys blocks.

 

block 3             

Proposed block 3 of the boys hostel. 

other Details:

The fees for the hostel is projected to be about 4000 a month,including mess.

Rumours have it that a student can stay in the hostel for only one month,if needed,by paying 4000,an excellent feature,which plenty will be using during the exam times.

Each room will be accommodating four students,and no attached bathroom,each floor has about 20 bathrooms.(including multi-purpose)

The hostels have 3 staircases in all,and 2 lifts for a block ,with reading rooms,common rooms and all kind of stuff,which will be provided if the management of GITAM University doesn't mince its words(As it so oftenly does,at least did with respect to the Hyderabad campus)

SOLAR HEATERS:

The water heaters(obviously solar :P),are all ready to be installed,these are to be installed first in the Boys hostel block 1 which as previously noted will be handed over to the GITAM University management on the 30th of this Month.

ELEVATORS:

DSCF0107

Space for the elevators (two per each block) has been provided by the construction company,and they kindly tell us that the management will have to pay for the elevator units and installation cost,as of now it remains unclear if they will ever be active or not :)

Wi-Fi:

Well we expect it to happen,but with the way the so called “Wi-Fi” campus(Wi-Fi  has been restricted to the MBA classrooms in the first academic year i.e,2009-2010),but it hardly makes sense,as close to half of the internet word(Yes including the blogosphere) are blocked !!

A blog post is made every 18 seconds around the world and close to 175,000 new blogs(Source : Click here.),and with nearly 200 million blogs present,the management oblivious of these facts , blocked out some of the greatest resources ever.

The story gets even more interesting(and sadder :P), Facebook is not accessible from the current Wi-fi/internet server on campus GITAM University,Hyderabad,in comparison most of the colleges/deemed universities,for heavens sake even IIT’S/IIIT’S(Which the director,Dr Sanjay keeps comparing GITAM university Hyderabad too :P),don’t block Facebook Or Blogs!

And with the better part of the internet closed away it hardly matters,if Wi-Fi is active or not :)

SECURITY!!

The following is the security room being constructed outside the GITAM University (Hyderabad) Boys Hostel.

It will be decked up to deal with massive large scale “revolts”,being a boys hostel you obviously expect plenty of “breakouts” from it :P,the  management is not prepared to make these breakout easy for the boys,but at the end we will be surprised,if we don’t hear of anyone jumping out of the hostel walls or stuff like that ,in the first month of operation itself :)

MESS:

The following are the pictures of the mess currently under construction (completion by 5th June),at the boys hostel of GITAM University.(Being handled for the girls hostel by the current Canteen manager,Mr.Raj,who is extremely efficient :))

DEBRIS:

Plenty of construction debris are still found lying in and around the hostels,and the sooner the management can get rid of them the better :)

MODEL ROOM(BOYS HOSTEL)

The boys hostel block one has been doing some pretty impressive,work and the model room pictures are available.

Details: Each room is extremely spacious,and do remember that even thought you see only two beds the room is intended for Four members(And NO!!,they are not fooling anyone,the construction people are courtesies to inform that the rooms will have four members)

GIRLS HOSTEL:

We don’t posses the actual pictures of the girls model room,due to some problem with getting the pics from there.

But,we did find some old pictures dating back to a month or so in our folder and we have uplaoded them only for reference,rest assure the rooms are done with all the pending works :)

THANKS!

The blog would like to give a huge round of applause to the construction worker,engineers etc,and everyone who helped us put this article together,and also sent us some of the above pictures,which were restricted to other eyes,some pictures featured  here were  inaccessible to some sections of the GITAM university management  (Goodwill always works,and the Blog and it members are high on this :)),but when they saw how badly we needed some sensitive kind of  information about the hostel,the construction dept.obliged :)

regards,
