Established in 1984 and hence the youngest among all the boys hostels, we have produced some of the most well established individuals in Assam as well as in India and abroad. We nurture a sense of brotherhood among us that transcends the walls of this hostel; brothers for life, as we all say, once an Octavian always an Octavian. College life is one of the most pivotal part of our lives, full of learning, failing and succeeding; we try to mold our boarders into individuals who can survive in this fast changing world. One must learn to be resourceful as well as be able to manage situations in order to grow in today's world and what better place to learn all this than in Octave, the best boys hostel in Jorhat Engineering College.
Located in the Southeastern part of this sprawling college campus, far away from all the noise of a town, nature is just outside the door. With a forest on one side, decent playground behind and a garden upfront, the environment is just right to nestle an individual. One can feel a sense of calm and peace breathing in the air around here; an ecstacy one can hardly let go off.
From the seniormost to the freshers, all the batches live together in harmony, learning and growing as one is made to understand the traditions of our hostel. There are a ton of tournaments and competitions all year long in which all the batches participate as a team bringing laurels to our hostel. We come here as strangers, but leave as brothers; brothers for life. That's the beauty of our hostel.
Built in the form of H, our hostel boasts 32 rooms, 1 common room, 1 gym-cum-library room, 1 mess and 4 washrooms. The common room is the pride of the hostel, as it serves as the hosting venue for various celebrations like freshers, farewell, distinguised guests. It is christened with all the trophies, medals and commendations that our hostel has garnered over the years. Apart from all this, it also serves as a place of rejuvenation. One can relax, have a chat, watch some tv and even engage in some carrom with each other. We believe an individual must excel not only in academics, but also in other activities, as such we have indoor games like Table Tenis, Carrom, Chess etc. and outdoor games as well like Badminton, Cricket, Football, Volleyball to name a few.
