(three for boys & two for girls) are available for dining by Hostel residents of the University. The hostel messes are run by experienced and qualified caterers. The
messes offer meals at reasonable rates.

Mess fees

The mess fee is to be paid in two instalments at the beginning of each semester in a year i.e. June and January. The exact amount to be paid will be notified to the concerned students at the time of admission into the hostel. It would be as per the prevailing rates as applicable for PG & Ph.D hostel inmates.

If Ph.D Scholars failed to pay the hostel mess fee within the stipulated time, the fees may be recovered/deducted directly from the scholar’s stipend / fellowship /JRF. They also will be removed from the University hostel.

All hostel-related communications from the hostel inmates to the University authorities shall be routed through the proper channel, i.e. through the wardens of the respective hostels and Chief Warden. Any subversive activity, misdemeanor, obnoxious behavior, flouting of hostel rules & regulation, misconduct, disobedience, ragging, failure to clear dues, etc. shall be severely punished, and even result in dismissal from the hostel and as well as from the department by the University authority whose interpretation of the rules shall be final.

Set of rules and regulations applicable to the inmates of the hostels will be given to each student at the time of admission into hostel.

Consumption of alcohol and narcotics is considered as a serious offence. Therefore, intoxicating drugs or liquor should not be consumed in the campus. Smoking in the hostel premises is prohibited. Fire-arms should not be brought to the hostel in any case. Such acts will mean immediate expulsion of the resident from the hostel. Accommodating outsiders/passed out students in the hostel leads to trespassing and such students will be handed over to the police for prosecution. Therefore, inmates must be careful before entertaining outsiders.

As per the University hostel rules & regulations under clause 10.24, damaging University /public property is illegal. It will be considered as an act of indiscipline and misconduct, and will be punished under Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, 1984.

No introductory meeting of the students is to be held in the hostels by the senior students.
