Students are the driving force behind Mess arrangements. Major decisions regarding various activities related to food are made by the student council. A dedicated committee, known as the 'Hostel & Mess Committee' (HMC), is formed to oversee all of the day-to-day activities necessary for the proper functioning of the hostel. The HMC decides on the menu after consulting with all of the other students present. As a result, the menu is updated on a regular basis, approximately every 35-45 days.

A mess fee is an additional cost that is not included in the term fees. It is charged at the end of each month and is dependent on a variety of factors. A canteen is also available where students can get their fill of whatever they desire. The canteen is open from early morning till late night.
