College Hostel

The College Hostel provides accommodation to at least 120 students at a time. Unfortunately the hostel is currently being occupied by security forces and the students from afar have to make their own arrangements at higher costs and less convenience.

The college authorities are hopeful of getting the hostel back as soon as the security forces vacate.
