Summary:

While a students' group made a representation regarding this at Faculty of Arts on Wednesday, officials of Halls of Residence too admitted that the girls' hostels presently have 125 more students. "After the old students graduated, presently, we have 450 vacancies at the four hostels. "Once the faculties send us the list of students based on their merit and the seats allocated to them based on their student strength, we will ask the other girls to make alternate arrangements," he said. But since the admissions in hostels are done online and new girls have taken admission in various faculties, the numbers of those seeking admission in hostels has increased manifold," said Vijay Parmar, chief warden of Halls of Residence.He said that presently all the girls who are seeking temporary accommodation are being allowed to use hostel premises on humanitarian grounds.
