Noob query incoming:
Have no experience with 3g dongles. Will dongle specific packs work on sims in universal/unlocked dongles?
My problem is that only idea 3g is accessible where my hostel is but I don't want to be tethered to one operator neither do I want to pay heavier mobile data tariffs.

What exactly is that dongle specific pack?? As long as you have data balance available on your SIM card, it will work on any unlocked data card. But in some schemes like "Buy idea net setter, recharge it with certain amount and get certain GB free" the pack will be applicable only when you buy the idea net setter.
But Idea's data card can be unlocked very easily. So if you are getting some good offer in idea you can avail it and then get your data card unlocked to use other service providers.

Sorry I'm completely ignorant about the topic. So there are no recharge packs applicable only to 3g dongles?? If you have to pay the same for data services on a mobile and a dongle what's the advantage of buying dongles?? You can just use your phone!

Of course you can just use your phone!! But when you use your phone, it gets sort of restricted. I mean when you make a call, the data connection gets disconnected. Continuous data connection drastically reduces battery life. You will have to keep your phone tied to the laptop or desktop which reduces the mobility. Dongle just provides you a medium to use internet without a phone, nothing else.
And if you have a data card you can easily be connected to internet. Also most of them provide the basic functionality of a phone like sending/receiving calls, messages, storing contacts etc.

Most of the providers, if not all, provide specific data packs for their network locked data cards, which are comparatively much cheaper than those for prepaid and postpaid sim cards. You can actually get your sim card recharged with a 3G data pack, and use it with an unlocked data card or your mobile.
It's not the case with 3G. You can actually make or receive a call while using uninterrupted internet. The other drawback of using a phone to connect to internet is that, you won't get the connection speeds, which a data card provides you.

^^ 21 mbps may sound good on paper, but the ground realities are much different. IMO, none of the operators are letting you even reach till 7.2 mbps, leave alone getting 21 mbps. I've been using a 3G data card (Lava 720G having a max downlink speed of 7.2 Mbps) for more than a year now on Airtel, but till date, I've been able to get a max speed of 7.1 mbps that too for a split second, else, it hovers around or below 3.5-4 mbps, 99% of the time.
As far as Huawei data cards are concerned, I've seen one with my cousin, and was really disappointed by the interface, which was a web based interface, running on internet explorer, and missed on certain features like voice calling and SMS.

IMO, the Huawei E3131 won't be a bad choice, though, the Web based UI may not be functionally good (a personal choice, as I've had a poor experience with the web based interface that sometimes refused to start). Since this particular model supports Voice calling and SMS, I think it's good. Please don't be carried away with it's ability to convert your laptop to a wifi hotspot. Most Intel chips, Centrino N1000 onwards support that through intel's own software (Intel My WiFi).
