Hostel Residency for UG Students admitted to UGC-Funded Programmes in 2024-25 and After

Question: I am an Undergraduate (UG) student admitted to a UGC-Funded Programme in 2024-25.  Can you advise me on my eligible residency years throughout my study period in the University?

Answer:

For Students Admitted to 4-Year UGC-Funded Undergraduate Programmes

Local or Non-local students admitted to any 4-year UGC-funded undergraduate programmes at the University in the 2024-25 academic year or later are eligible for two years of residency at the University’s student hostel.  If a student wishes to continue staying at the hostel beyond the initial two-year residency period, their applications will then be assessed through a merit-based points system that will be implemented from AY 2025-26 onwards.  Please note that students who wish to live in the student hostel must submit an application during the designated application period. Those who do not submit a hostel application will not be considered for student hostel residence, even if they have not yet fulfilled the full 2-year residency period offered by the Hostel Residency Policy (HRP).

For Senior Year (SY) Students Admitted to UGC-Funded Undergraduate Programmes:

Local or Non-local Senior Year (SY) students admitted to any UGC-Funded undergraduate programmes in 2024-25 or after, who are enrolled in a 2-year or 3-year programme of study, are eligible for one year of residency at the University’s student hostel.  If a student wishes to continue staying at the hostel beyond the initial one-year residency period, their applications will be assessed through a merit-based points system that will be implemented from AY 2025-26 onwards.  Please note that students who wish to live in the student hostel must submit an application during the designated application period.  Those who do not submit a hostel application will not be considered for student hostel residence, even if they have not yet fulfilled the residency period offered by the Hostel Residency Policy (HRP).
