There are two types of mess, general mess and private mess.

General mess is like room service of hotels. You can call them and get food delivered to your room, or can go there and eat. You can either pay while ordering, or have a monthly account. Menu changes considerably and more options are available. There are three general mess: in hostel 5, 7 and 8.

In private mess, you have to make an account and pay a sum of 3000 rupees as security fee. There is a fixed menu. Food is cheaper, and usually homely. You have to pay the bill monthly. There are 4 of them: two in hostel 4, one each in hostel 1 and 2.

Other than that, we have a juice corner, a coffee spot, a lipton tea point, and a general store, where you can buy edibles plus items of daily need.

The environment is healthy and competitive. You will get a nice peer here. Senior-junior interaction is best in AIIMS, with no concept of sir/madam. Batches are small and everyone is a hosteler with no day scholars, hence friendship bonds are stronger.

We also have a socio cultural festival Pulse in the month of September, and an infest during April.

When you’ll join AIIMS, seniors will start interacting with you from day 1, maybe even before day 1 via facebook or whatsapp. They’ll help you with studies a lot.
