Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology (MSIT), situated in Kolkata, West Bengal, serves students from eastern and northeastern India and is known for its strong academic infrastructure, modern classrooms, laboratories, and active campus life. However, MSIT does not provide on-campus hostel facilities for students. Instead, students typically opt for private hostels or PG accommodations in nearby localities. These external arrangements generally offer shared rooms, basic amenities like Wi-Fi and laundry, and are within commute distance to the main campus. Students should be aware of this situation while planning their accommodation and campus experience at MSIT.

Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology - [MSIT] Hostel Overview
MSIT does not run its own hostel within the campus premises. There are no officially managed hostels for boys, girls, or postgraduate/PhD students. Students seeking accommodation rely primarily on private hostels and paying guest (PG) options located in the vicinity of the campus. These private establishments typically have multiple sharing formats (single, double, triple), but allocation is handled by individual proprietors, not by MSIT. Any claims about on-campus or institute-run hostels are not applicable for the Kolkata campus.

Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology - [MSIT] Hostel Fees & Room Categories
Since there are no institute-run hostels, there is no official hostel fee structure released by MSIT. Students must arrange for independent off-campus accommodation, where charges can vary significantly depending on the provider, amenities, and room sharing pattern. Typically, private hostels and PGs in the area charge anywhere from INR 4,000 to 8,000 monthly (approximate range). Costs can include room rent, meals, utilities, and sometimes a refundable security deposit. Interested students should directly contact private hostels for exact rates and room categories; MSIT does not intervene in or regulate these charges.
Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology - [MSIT] Facilities, Dining & Student Life
MSIT’s main campus offers several modern amenities for its day scholars, including high-speed Wi-Fi, spacious classrooms, fully equipped labs, and a well-stocked library. However, hostel-specific facilities (such as institute-maintained common rooms, mess, or study halls) are not present. Students living in private accommodation can expect varying standards and should confirm specifics in advance.

Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology - [MSIT] Safety, Health & Policies
While MSIT provides robust security and health oversight on its academic premises—including 24/7 security personnel, CCTV coverage, and dedicated disciplinary committees—these measures do not extend to private hostels or PGs. On campus, anti-ragging, grievance redressal, and health committees ensure student welfare and a safe environment. The medical room and first-aid are available during institute hours; in emergencies, students are referred to nearby clinics or hospitals. Entry and exit policies, visitor rules, and quiet hours depend on private accommodation rules. Students are encouraged to carefully verify safety measures when selecting off-campus residences.
