Logging on to Pagalguy after a long time, thanks to a hectic summers schedule! Thought I'll answer these queries
1) Are there any washing machines available in the hostels? If not, any washerman or laundry house in the vicinity?
<No washing machines. Our very own dhobi is right there on campus!>
2) I have heard that few rooms are a little icky. Is that true? I have heard that rooms are allotted roll number wise. Does that mean that people who are last roll number wise will get the top floor.
<Yes, there are a few icky rooms, which I hope will be taken care of by the renovation. And yes, its roll number wise. Girls get the first two floors and a part of the third floor. Guys from third to sixth. >
3) Attire - Is there any specific attire that is necessary right from the first day? Or can we purchase the blazer\suit after we join depending on the rules. I am not used to wearing a formal attire at my work place for so many years now. Feels very odd.
< Like Ankit mentioned, bring formals and get used to wearing them! Don't leave anything for after joining. You're joining a B school, the least you can do is get used to a business suit 
>
4) Mess - Is the food at mess good or do you all fall back upon any eating joing nearby very often?
<Food in mess varies from decent to avoidable at times. There are enough fallback options for the low days. You shall be introduced to the joys of dhaba and Tanku's pretty soon!>
5) Can we join the hostel a few days before July 1st or would the rooms be opened only on July 1st for the new batch. Good if we can join at least a couple of days earlier to get a hang of the place around before we are grilled by the Profs and do not have time left for anything in life.
<I remember coming a day early and a few people had come a couple of days prior to joining. So, that shouldn't be a hassle. My advice, come just a day early. That should suffice. You'll get a hang of the place >
6) Do we have any preparatory classes or are we straight away thrown into an unknown world of accounts, statistics etc? Are there any books or subjects that we can go through before coming there as it has been more than 6 years since I touched anything related to accounts?
<I think I had said this before. Don't study. Doesn't matter how long it has been since you touched books, don't bother! Just relax and enjoy before you join. Accounts and stats will be taken care fo once you all join. >
Sorry for so many questions. But am going to stay in a hostel for the first time in my life
so do not wnat to be caught unawares.
It's a good life..life@ IIFT! So, don't worry! Look forward to it
