Hi Pragya!

Earlier it was mandatory for candidates to enroll in campus hostel of AIIMS, but now it is not at all compulsory to enroll in campus hostel or in the hostel mess.

>> Even if the candidate has enroll in the campus hostel and mess, it is the choice of student if he/she wishes to eat in the hostel mess or not.

>> Boarders are however free to order for other dishes and pay extra. Each mess has its different methods of predetermined service and charge accordingly. If you do not eat today in the mess then you do not need to pay for today's food.

>> In a nutshell, you need to pay only for the amout of food which you are eating, no more, no less.

Thankyou!
