The procedure for the hostel is pretty simple, first you have to get the application from the head warden in the hostel on the campus for about Rs.200 (I think), and you should have 6 of your passport sized photos, and then the hostel fees I believe for the upcoming year are Rs.12,000 per month, Rs 6,500 for Room & Board and Rs 5,500 for mess hall fees, I think you could probably move in within a few days of finishing the application and paying the fees, maybe even that day, especially if you called the warden and had the details worked out already. The warden lets us choose our roomates, so he will probably ask if you have someone who is coming with you or ask you to choose from the people who currently don't have room mates, or you can ask him if you can try and find someone in your own batch when school starts and everyone comes, if you really want to do that, don't let the warden tell you that you can't, because you should be able to, we got to..... and I hear that the new batch's classes start oct. 4th?
...if you have extra appliances like a refridgerator/microwave, etc, he asks for Rs.500 per appliance, and there are no airconditioners allowed, only water coolers, and you can have fans and such,... you are provided with a bed, a desk, and one hanging shelf, you have your own closet and you share a bathroom with your room mate, there is air conditioning in the study/common room in both the girls and boys hostels I beleive, ... and down the street from the campus is a bank (a 3 min rickshaw ride maybe?), Soneri, otherwise I believe there are two other banks around the corner and down the road some... (like a 7 min rickshaw ride from the hostel?)
