There are different clubs for technical and cultural enthusiastic people, and it also focuses on entrepreneurship, having 2 funding cells in the campus. IIT Roorkee has very good sports culture and facilities, that is justified by being the Genral Champions of sports for year 2022 among 23 IITs.
Hostel Facilities
The hostels are not that great at IIT Roorkee if compared to many other IITs, you get a bed, tea table, study table and an almirah in your room. Which is double shared till 2nd year after that you get your single room. The food provided in mess is pretty decent, and on special occasion and once a month, you get a special dinner with a big and better menu. You can opt for hostel and mess along with registration process and fee payment through the fee portal on the main site.

First you have to clear jee mains, then you'll be qualified for jee advanced. The cutoffs are decided by NTA yearly, almost 10 lakhs students appear in jee mains every year, and around 1.5 lakh qualify for jee advanced. Then you go through counselling rounds where seats in different IITs is alloted to you.
