The answer is yes, as there are separate hostels for the 1st year. If you have taken admission to NIT Raipur, you have to accept the seat. You will also have to fill up a form for hostel accommodations. 

• The seat numbers are limited in comparison to the student’s number. Due to this, the college administration provides seats and hostel allotments as per the students' rank. Seats are reserved for the students from state and reserve categories.
• Hostels A, B, C, D, and F have a dining hall and recreation hall, that is equipped with Television, and some indoor games like carrom and table tennis. 
• Hostel H has a fully furnished dining and recreation hall with well-resourced indoor games and other facilities. However, all hostels are enough well-equipped with the necessities of the students.

Another important thing is that there are only 4 hostels with a maximum capacity of 100 students in NIT Raipur for the first-year students. Each of them includes two types of hostel with two bedding facilities or three bedding facilities in each room. 

Hostel allotment is mainly done as per the student’s All India Rankings, and 25% is reserved for the state students and reserve categories. But, from the second year, based on the Cumulative Pinter Index, hostel allotment is done.
