Boys Hostel
Both Girls and Boys are provided hostel accommodation on merit and in proportion to students strength in different academic programs offered on the campus. There are two boys hostels. The old hostel has a capacity of 142 with 40 single seated rooms and 34 triple seated rooms and new hostel has capacity of 197 with single seated rooms and triple seated rooms. Similarly, the girls hostel has a capacity of 136 with 40 single seated and 32 triple seated rooms. The single occupancy rooms are reserved for research students and fellows, while the triple occupancy rooms are provided to post-graduate students. The admission to the hostel is purely on merit basis. Both the hostels have independent rectors from the resident senior faculty.
The hostel students are provided with hot water for bathing throughout the year. The boys and girls hostels have independent mess which is run by contract personnels to ensure the quality of food at reasonable rates. The hostels are well equipped with all basic facilities. The hostels are well ventilated, aerated and furnished with tables, chairs, fans, fluorescent light, water cooler and solar hot water facility. Each hostel has a common hall for recreation and mess for boarding, run by an authorized contractor.
At present total capacity of each of the hostel is inadequate to meet the demand . Extension work of boys' hostel building is in progress to meet the demand. However, the completion of the extension building for boys' hostel will take at least one year. The demand had been long anticipated in view of the number of new courses started by the NMU in the recent past.
