6.9 Student Messes:

Our Institute has five students Messes to cater 2130 students on the campus including girls and M.Tech./PhD Scholars. There are four boys’ messes and one girls mess adjacent to the Hostels. The four messes namely Chinab, Indus, Tawi and Girls have been outsourced since last four years. Jehlum Mess is under the direct control of Mess management. All the messes are being in operation under over all supervision of Mess Management with the co-operation and co-ordination of student mess committees of the concerned hostel messes. Each Mess attached to different hostels is in the charge of the Warden cum Mess Advisor.

Activities during the year:

The Mess Management arranged the catering facilities for INSPIRE programme for the secondary students sponsored by DST in March & May 2014 through out sourced contractors. The Mess management has procured dinning chairs and tables and installed water purifier in each mess to facilitate the students in general.

New Initiatives:

The mess management is planning to modernize the Students Messes by installing latest kitchen equipments and renovation work of the messes will be taken up very soon by the concerned departments. The Mess Management has initiated steps to facilitate online deposition of mess fee.
