Karnataka`s Mangalore university with a sizeable number of foreign students, will have a separate international level hostel is being constructed within the university campus. The project is supposed to be completed by September 2021. 

140 students from 29 countries including Afghanistan, China, Indonesia, Iran, South Africa and Nepal have been studying at Mangalore University. For the next academic year, 220 foreign students have filed applications seeking admission.

So far these students did not have a separate well-equipped hostel. Therefore, they are currently staying in rented buildings in Derlakatte. In order to address their problem, the hostel, equipped with international facilities, is being constructed within the university premises.

Work on this project had begun five years back, but the university was waiting for approval and had used its own money as construction had started by then. The ministry has now approved the project. The other blocks of the hostel have been planned to be used for the housing examination block and VVIP guest house. Some departments of the University are planned to be shifted to another block.

The vice-chancellor of the university said that the hostel building of international classes for foreign students is in the final stages, and because of lockdown, works have been delayed.
