We’ve tried to clear all the doubts that you might have with hostels around here
We filled the form before in the so called test run. What about that?
Those forms have been cleared and the database has been reset. All new entries are now ready to go.
As of 10th May 5:30PM the database was cleared. All you have to do is click on ‘Cancel my Application’ and your application resets.
How are the hostels being alloted?
Hostels are being alloted on the basis of the GPA of your previous semester and not on a early bird basis.

What are the different rates for various hostels?
What is the minimum GPA required to get any hostel?
Well even we are un-aware about that. It depends on the number of people applying to that block.
Your guess is as good as ours!
Drop in your comments for questions we’ll keep updating this.
Manipal The Talk.Net 
What happens if guys apply for 13th block, or girls for 14th?
If the allotment process is automatic, and it gets allotted, what will happen?
Should I try my luck ? 😉
What should be the minimum gpa to get 14th block????????????
That’s a tough question Shivam ! But going by the records, it is comparatively lesser than that needed for the 9th block !
for 14th block single room, it should be around 5 or 6.. not more
in hostel allotment , prefrence would be given to seniors and then comes one’s cg
Yes that is true @Rajeev preference is given to seniors first and then to one GPA of the first semester.
We’ve seen that people usually dont want to change their blocks so we are assuming that first years (present batch) stands a good chance at getting the 14th and 17th blocks.
@tmaster I hope they do that man! We’ll make Manipal a co-ed hostel hell yeah! 😛
gpa cnsidered wil be my personal gpa or my n my rmmates avg gpa ????
If single, then personal, and if double then average !
if i hav a gpa bettr thn my preferred rmmates n our avg gpa is nt matchin the cut off gpa fr a block…thn wil my personal gpa b cnsidered n i get a rm in tht block or will both of us b rejected ???
I think the average will be considered.
the hostels would be alloted on the basis of first semester or second for students of first years changing to second year?
Hostels would be alloted on the basis of 1st sem GPA !
Is cost of all hostels are changing ?
If some1 is applying alone for a double room, is there any chance that he will get senior as his room-mate ???
The cost of hostels have increased pretty much, compared to the last year !
It is not at all possible for you to become the room-mate of a senior, unless specially requested !
Cost of some hostels has increased this year, the remaining ones had already increased the previous year.
The chief warden is a Sadist and would probably put in 1st year girls with 4th year guys.
there we can give a preference of 10 room numbers… and not of room type… suppose we dont get the 10 rooms we applied for… but more rooms of our prefered type are available… then wat happens ? will they just allot us random rooms ???
Yes it would then be on their discretion!
is a combined gpa of 7.5 enough to get a room in 9th block?
Last year, some students with a combined GPA of 7.3 got thru ! The competition is higher this year…
But the possibilities are pretty high ! Keep your fingers crossed !:)
IF ONCE FILLED THE FORM…CN I CHANGE THE ROOM NO. PREFERENCE ?????
how should i apply if my first preference is a single room in 14th block nd rest are a double room in any other block ?
I dont think that can be done. You have to choose either single or a double seater…but hey you can try experimenting around to see what you get!
what can i get in 4.0 gpa?
17th Probably! Your guess is as good as ours!
B +
you’ll surely get a decent block !
14th single AC, or 17th
maybe D block
wat is the required gpa for ojhas….???
We are not so sure… but it should be pretty high I guess
mine CGPA is 7.28 can i get singles in 6th or k block???
there are single common bath rooms in 6th and K block
Chances are not very high for the 6th block ! but never know 😐
K block is a bit difficult i guess
is there chance for 10 singles???
my gpa is 6.04. which hostel can i get??..plz help
Depends on your room-mate’s gpa also buddy !
hey guys,
Im planning to join kmc,manipal this yea. I have a few doubts.
1.my manipal score is 172 out of 200. what are my chances of getting a seat?
2.Is the usage of mobiles allowed inside the campus(in the rooms atleast)?
3.can i bring my own laptop?
Cant say anything about 1 ,
but the answers to 2 & 3 are YES
thanks bro,my ranks 1975.
Are the hostel rules strict?
btw…is it the for kmc as well??? because i want to join the med college
Hostel rules are pretty lenient in the medical courses.
KMC has seperate hostels(above discussion is for MIT hostels), and they have some fantastic blocks (Chandrashekhar block comes to mind)
As for cell phones, I cannot say about the academic areas, but in the hostels, cellphone and laptop shouldnt be a problem at all.
thanks man. you really were helpful.
This website is awesome….i think this can be mentioned as a parallel student portal on the official website,but that mightt screw up the fun huh?
Thanks a lot for your words!
Your right…it will screw up all the fun 😉
hehe!
Hi Anirudh
I have been admitted to BBM (e-Banking and Finance) course 2011. Since there was no counselling for my course we had to send our fees demand draft and photocopies of marksheets n all. Unlike MIT, where there is counselling and also hostels are also allotted during the MIT counselling process.
I wish to know which hostels are meant for first year students? and also do you have idea about the process followed by college authorities for allotting hostels to MIC/ BBM students ( previous year process) since both of the courses didnt have counselling.
Very very sorry for the late response Vaibhav ! We are not pretty sure about the allotment system for MIC/BBM students ! Blocks 15, 16 and 17 are for first years.
And these are one of the best hostels in India, believe me !
Check this out for the hostel details: http://manipalthetalk.net/2011/05/11/so-which-block-should-i-shift-to/
And there have been rumors of MIC/BBM students not getting rooms in MIT hostels and all ! Infact, there is a shortage of rooms for the 3rd sem students…A lot of us here facing trouble !
Hopefully all of this will be resolved !
Thanks for your reply Anirudh.
i have read the news article related to MIC/BBM students in one of your websites. i do believe the MU authorities should have taken capacity building measures saving students, irrespective of the course enrolled, from the trouble.
I think a second or a third year BBM/MIC student can throw more light on it.
I you know someone please help me to communicate with him.
Hi Anirudh,
