Hostels:

The institute has residential facilities for all students, even though the institute is running on temporary campus. Both boys and girls have been provided separate accommodation facility in different hostels. There are three hostels for girl students and Eleven hostels for boys students within the campus. Since the Institute is running on a small temporary campus and students’ strength is increasing every year, two new hostels have been hired on rent near the campus, at distance of about 1.5 to 2 KM. Moreover, keeping in view on further requirement, construction of two new hostels are going on within the campus, having a capacity of about 240 students. Also, the newly admitted 1st year students are kept in separate hostels away from senior students to avoid ragging.

Generally, four students share an apartment consisting of two rooms, attached toilet (having geysers), and a balcony. The buildings are airy, and receive enough sunlight with a beautiful view of snowy Himalayan peaks, like Mt. Narshinga and Mt. Kanchenjunga (World’s third highest peak).
