The hostel facility at the countrys premier engineering institute,IIT-Delhi,leaves much to be desired. Students complain that there is no cooling or heating facility in their hostel rooms,making summer and winter month extremely tough.

Its really difficult to live in the hostel because its always so hot, said a student.

While most of the lecture halls are air-conditioned,hostels are not provided even a basic cooler.

Dean of Students Professor Shashi Mathur said such facilities could not be provided to the students because of power and water shortage at the campus. He also said coolers increases the risk of dengue and other water-borne diseases because of stagnant water.

A final year students said: We sit in the library to get away from the heat,but that too closes at nine.
