Do all students get hostel in NIT Raipur? What about PWD students? Is there WiFi in each hostel?
Posted On - Mar 20, 2021All students at NIT Raipur are not guaranteed hostel accommodation, as it depends on factors such as availability and the student's ranking. However, the institute does make efforts to accommodate as many students as possible.
Regarding PWD students, NIT Raipur provides special provisions for students with disabilities, including hostel accommodation with necessary accessibility features. These provisions are made in accordance with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India.

There are about 940 to 960 students per year that are given admission for B. Tech every year with 365 seats given to boys. As far as the hostel is concerned, at the boy’s hostel, 75% of seats are reserved for students from other states and 25% for students from the home state.

- When you begin your second year, the seats are allocated based on the CPI you score at the end of the second year. If you score well and on merit, you will definitely be able to secure hostel accommodation. If not, you will have to look for other means of stay.
