Any budding sportsman out there? If so - hear! Hear! If you have got talent in you, You have come to right place to materialize it or if you wanna start afresh then get going guys, Hostel provides you ample opportunity to do so.
Officially the college has provided us the grounds for cricket, hockey, football, basketball (map), volleyball (map) badminton court (map) tennis court (map) and an indoor games complex with a full-fledged gym, which are in close proximity to the hostel. But faithful as we are to the hostel we opt for something which the hostel has provided us- It's stadium (Pun intended).
Our stadium comprises of a expansive area enclosed by the "pillars" of the hostel - L Block, I Block and H Block, where the L-Block makes up for the spectators giving the required sound effects. What else does a real stadium requires? Keep reading on to find out.
It is somewhat comparable to MonaLisa's portrait that is; it looks the way you want it to be looked as. You want it to be looked as a football ground, the goal posts are ready, or if a cricket ground the pitch is waiting to be run on, Many times rugby is played during showers.
Many tourneys are held over here, naming a few, the HEFA world cup (soccer), super six (cricket), TT etc. every year and enthu of the hostelites is unparalleled during such season. How many times can you witness a hostel of 300 people on a single ground? Only once on Sunday when the sportsman spirit in every person wakes up and finds him swinging a bat or running after a ball.
Indoories, don't feel left out we frequently have chess and TT tournaments while the TT hall (map) is open for you 24 hours. It is not the ghosts that make a racket at 2-3 am in the TT hall, or may be, not just the ghosts!
A typical morning at your residence: thud! You get up cursing the newspaper boy expecting him to slide your news under your door. You gear up, brush your teeth (hopefully) and start enjoying your bed tea while browsing your newspaper. A perfect morning, isn't it? Or is it? Does the newspaper boy factor trouble you? Not any more o'er here.
To blurt out the truth we haven't seen much of our news paper boy (oh yeah! Except when he comes o'er to collect the bill). This shows that he gives less opportunity for complaints and ensures you to digest the news before your breakfast. Well, watch your step when you get up and open your room door-your newspaper is waiting for you.
The news stand services entertains almost all newspapers in English, Hindi, Kannada; apart from which you can also get periodicals covering all subjects, viz., Week, Outlook, Frontline, Sportstar, Movie Magazines, etc. You wish for any of the above- you get it at your doorstep. Gotcha.
Wonder who created this wonderful website about this wonderful hostel and where and how? Well, all this has been created in the nearest cybercafe to the hostel - the STEP. STEP- stands for Science and Technology Entrepreneur's Park and carries out a variety of programs including a cybercafe. The Internet facilities at STEP are the best and cheapest that you can get in MYSORE and such a service is within our college campus and what more do you need?

What else can you dream for, than a warm soothing shower on the wee hours of a freezing winter MYSORE morning or a refreshing cold bath after a hectic day at the college to cool off your senses? And if you find the geyser out of order to top it on- hell breaks loose. This certainly is not a problem in this hostel. B'cos 1440 minutes a day, you have hot water flowing all the way into your bathroom taps, Supply from , which assures you of a satisfying warm bath whenever you desire. And of course, the MYSORE weather takes care of cooling the water to attend to your summer needs.
Mind you Guys, this has prompted most of our hostelmates to remain clean, for they can take a bath whenever they wish. It is common to see students having their time of the day with a late night bath (as late as 2 am). Now isn't that cool (or is it hot)? Whatever, "please do take bath".
Fed up with chores at home! The pampered kids that you are, if you feel hostel life is a getaway from them then, you are on the right track, except for petty hassles like washing your own clothes and pressing them. Thereby let me put your troubles to RIP. We have SURESH-our amiable dhobi, who takes your clothes at your doorstep for washing and pressing and is accessible in the hostel almost all day. But above all, the charges are too economical for the cleanliness and sincerity that he works with. So guys, if you wanna dedicate more time on your studies/sports or other activities rather than with your washing brush, ours is the hostel for you.
Ø P/S: If you are so keen on doing the job all by yourselves for a healthy workout giving it your 'personal touch' for your satisfaction, we have appropriate arrangements in the premises (check out map) with washing stones, taps, continuous water supply,etc
An INDIA-PAK match or a blockbuster movie-, which of it is the one you fear, will miss on leaving your home and coming to a hostel? Well, in our hostel you don't have to miss any of them for we have a TV room having a 29" color TV complete with cable connection catering more than 49 channels. And to top it all, the atmosphere, with all guys in hysteria- cheering and commenting on every scene- is all very enthralling.
Especially during a cricket match a rare sense of excitement and enthusiasm prevails which one sure has to revel in to get the feel of it. It is one of the times when you really love being in the hostel and tend to forget your home (if you can).No doubt sports get a precedence o'er other things followed by movies and music, but you parents neednot be worried for there are some well cultured students who insist on news and similar educative programs. This has been taken well by all students and its really an infotaining experience for sure.
As the saying goes "TO ERR IS HUMAN", our hostel management and maintenance workers are humans and so are you (now isn't that news?). they are pretty aware of that and hence they maintain a complaint book where you can login your complaints regarding any issue without the slightest hesitation.
The hostel maintains a regular survey of the premises which comprises of frequent visits by electricians, glaziers (quite handy when your cricket ball finds its way through your room by shortcut). The complaints in the book are given the highest priorities and best part of the system here is that your problem is executed within hours after registering a complaint, free of cost , leaving no room for any further complaints nor any inquiries (like say the glazier inquires about the owner of the cricket ball?). In extreme cases, you always can put the blame on your senior students.
Planning to get your vehicles to the hostel? We would suggest that it would be worthwhile if you plan to attend tuition or for other commitments periodically, thereby saving precious time. If you are still hesitating due to the concern of its safety, then put your worries aside, the security provided here is the ultimate test for professional thieves.
The hostel provides you parking facilities in each block, especially in mess block, where it will be in constant surveillance of the guard. As for thieves, it is impossible to breakthro' the main gate security, leave alone the internal security.
Ever heard of "Cleanliness is next to godliness" or "hygiene is good for health". If no, then please ignore it & forgive me for mentioning it ever. If yes, then we advice you to forget it & forgive me for remindin' it. Because our hostel takes complete charge over this department to such an extent that penetrates deep into your daily routine, it incorporates a sense of hygiene and compels you to develop a more organized routine life such that you won't even be aware of it.
A clean atmosphere is what the dirtiest of people would wish to live in & in this hostel you are assured a cleaner & greener life (the greener part being contributed by the Mysore environment).
The entire credit goes to the hostel's maintenance system. A group of cleaners (incl. sweepers) frequent the toilets and all rooms daily, thanks to which the hostel blocks wear a decent look all thro'. The weeds & grass in and around the hostel campus is cut periodically and burnt which presents a pure atmosphere to breathe in.
If you are a health freak and you are skeptic about the sanctity that such a merriful and carefree hostel, as described earlier, then allay all your fears and get into the hostel. You won't be disappointed.
The first thing you wish when you fall ill is your mother sitting beside you tending to the tiniest of your needs and your family doctor putting you at ease by blabbering medical jargon nonsense (engineers as you are to be) and you satisfied with it assuming he has well control over the bug inside you.
