IEM Kolkata (IEM Saltlake) Hostel Fees 2026, Facilities, Rooms, Food, Photos

The college does not have its own hostel facilities but has leased buildings functioning as hostels for students. The hostel fees range from INR 65,000 to 100,000 per year, depending on the facilities like AC and room sharing options. A significant number of students prefer staying in PGs or rented flats nearby, with costs ranging around INR 6,000 to 8,000 per month, including food and lodging. Hostel rooms are typically shared among 2 to 4 students, and while some students report decent living conditions, others criticize the small room sizes and poor food quality.

Meals in the hostel are often considered average, with some improvements noted in recent times. An anti-ragging community is present, and hostel life is disciplined with a curfew around 7-8 pm. The facilities include Wi-Fi and basic furniture, but students often find better accommodation options outside the campus.
