Central University of Punjab has recently moved to a new permanent campus, which has cabins constructed at every free space possible, such as the sports hall and parking areas. Doctoral students are given a single-seated room (cabin) until the year 2016, while master's students are given a room on a sharing basis.

The rules for the hostel are relatively lenient now compared to the past. Girls are allowed to study in the library even after midnight, but they are not permitted to roam around the campus after dinner. There is no nightlife available on campus, but students can use the library or stay in their rooms to study. The hostels and campus offer Wi-Fi, RO water, and geysers. However, air conditioning or ducting in the rooms is not possible since the cabins are temporary, portable structures. During the summer, the temperature can reach up to 46 degrees Celsius, making the rooms feel like a furnace unless a cooler is used.

Overall, the facilities are good enough to survive, but they are not enough to have a great time. If you cannot compromise on hostel facilities, it is recommended that you look for another university since Bathinda is not a very developed or urbanized city, but more like a town.

The Central University of Punjab (CUPB) is currently functioning from its temporary campus, therefore, most of its hostels are porta-cabin based. 

Four-seater or three-seater rooms are alloted to the PG students for the 1st year of their course. During their 2nd year they are shifted to one-seater and two-seater rooms depending upon the availability and academic performance of the students in their first year. 

For girls staying in the hostels, there are some major rules that they have to follow:

• Students have to reach the campus latest by 7:30 PM.
• They are not allowed to step-out from the campus after 7:30 PM.
• They are allowed to roam within the campus till 9:30PM. 
• After 9:30 AM they have to go back to their designated hostel rooms.
• They have to inform and take permission from their respective wardens if they are going out of town and are not coming back to the university on the same day.

For more detailed information you can go through the complete rule book which can be downloaded from the university website.
