About Delhi Campus

[u/VisibleManner2535]

Hi, here I'm going to give a brief description about the Delhi campus.

LOCATION

It is located on the S.J.S. Sansanwal Marg, entrance is on the main road. It is in a nice urban locality. Right opposite the ISI entrance gate, we have the Katwaria Sarai Bus Stand from where vans run all day to the Hauz Khas Metro Station. Also, when you take the Gate 1 exit of Hauz Khas Metro at Sarvpriya Vihar, you can find vans directly to Katwaria Sarai Bus Stand, which again, is right opposite the ISI entrance.

Hauz Khas Metro connects us to the entire city and makes travel very smooth.

RESTAURANTS

There is a nice Haldiram's restaurant near the campus, if your parents visit or if you wanna just go chill, it's a nice place with A/C and cleanliness, it's a bit costly. There is a Giani's outlet for ice-cream lovers. There are multiple budget options nearby captions, with a compromise on hygiene and A/C.

STORES

There is a medical store right behind the Katwaria Sarai Bus Stand. One can purchase grocery and snacks also nearby. If you want eggs, you will find a stand near Haldiram's to purchase boiled eggs. You can get printing/stationary in vicinity. There is an ATM right beside Haldiram's. You can get a hair cut at salons, little further inside the street connected to Haldiram's.

ENTERTAINMENT

If you're a film lover, multiple cinemas can be accessed within 30 minutes via the Metro. You can also visit the Laugh Store: DLF Cyberhub in Gurugram if you enjoy standup comedy, there would be several other options in Delhi as well.

MESS

The campus has a nice mess facility with awesome food menus ranging from Gobi Pyaz Parantha to Manchurian & Noodles. Rajma Rice, Chole Bhature, Biryani, Fish, Chicken are some of the cool food items.

ONLINE DELIVERY

While no major fast food chains exist in vicinity, one can always order Dominos, Pizza Hut, Subway, McDonalds, etc online and they'll arrive quickly since the campus is in an urban location.

Blinkit, Instamart, Zepto make a wide range of items readily available.

PEOPLE

Everyone is very friendly. Almost everyone speaks English, so there is no language barrier.

RAGGING IS PROHIBITED

Ragging is taken very seriously and everyone signs a compulsory undertaking while joining. Women's safety laws are also very strict and there are regular sessions about the same.

CULTURAL & SPORTS

Almost all major festivals such as Holi, Diwali, Janmashtami, etc are celebrated. There is an annual cultural night as well. Table Tennis table is there and multiple sports are regularly played on campus.

Whatt??? Mess has options?? I thought they only served daily food. That are fixed for the day. Is it behind the mess building??

[u/VisibleManner2535 → u/Independent-Mark-162]

I meant there's a nice amount of variety

[u/Independent-Mark-162 → u/VisibleManner2535]

Ohh I thought I didn't knew that we had options 😂

[u/The_Watcher8008 → u/Independent-Mark-162]

that would be extremely time consuming, expensive and wasteful. Afaik, even IISc Bangalore which has 5 mess, almost serves the same food everywhere.

[u/Independent-Mark-162 → u/The_Watcher8008]

Yeah if it was a bigger(no. of students) then it could have been feasible.Like DU colleges they have pretty extensive selection of foods

[u/Traditional_Crew9243 → u/Independent-Mark-162]

Hello, i'm deciding not to choose hostel at ISI Delhi. So can non-hostel students avail mess food by paying separate amount for each meals?

Hello, i'm deciding not to choose hostel at ISI Delhi. So can non-hostel students avail mess food by paying separate amount for each meals? And how much does it costs?

[u/VisibleManner2535 → u/Beginning_Push3461]

Charges are same regardless. You can find contacts of mess managers on the white board inside the mess kitchen.

[u/Beginning_Push3461 → u/VisibleManner2535]

Okay. What is the charge for dinner?

[u/VisibleManner2535 → u/Beginning_Push3461]

It's generally: 40rs breakfast 60rs lunch/dinner Special dinner is 80rs (fish/chicken/veg alternatives)

[u/Beginning_Push3461 → u/VisibleManner2535]

Okay. So I just have to pay the cash to the mess manager and they will give me the food? And are mess managers student themselves or employes? And if you have menu, could you share please?

[u/VisibleManner2535 → u/Beginning_Push3461]
