Hostel accommodation on the ICT campus used to be a privilege in the past. Hostel No. 1, which is popularly called the Old Hostel, was built in 1951, as University and Birla Hostel, with provision of accommodation for students of all departments of the University of Mumbai. Students admitted on All India basis were given preference. In 1966, The so-called New Hostel (now Hostel No. 2) was built for accommodating UG and research students; however, the capacity was still inadequate. In 1987, a Joint Hostel (now Hostel No.3) was built to accommodate both ICT and JJ School of Architecture, which was exclusively reserved for ICT students in mid-1990s.. There was no hostel facility for girls whatsoever. During mid-1990s, a 66-seater girl’s hostel (now Hostel No. 4) was built. Hostel No. 5, a 7-storey building for 352 students was built during early 2000s and occupied in 2005. The hostel surroundings and grounds were beautified during 2007-9 and Hostel No. 2 was reserved for girls. In view of growing number of lady students, the hostels were renovated and hostels were reallocated. Now Hostel No. 1, 4, and 5 accommodate boys whereas Hostels 2 and 3 girls.
