Applications for hostels are submitted at the time of physical reporting. Filling up the forms is done during the counseling. It hardly takes 2-3 days till the final list of hostel allotments is verified and notified.

Following are the criteria needed to be met:

• You will get a sit on the basis of your rank and category (SC, ST, EWS, Others). Last rankers do not get hostel even in the final year.
• Every stream is provided with equal seats. The lower your rank, the higher your preference you receive.
• Quota (SC, ST, OBC) plays an important role in your preference over non- quotas.
• Political help can also work. You can put your issues out to some party and they would willingly help you in getting into the hostel.
• You can stay on a guest basis but you will have to pay more than the actual residents.

You’ll get to know if you have your hostel allocated or not by UIET’s official site. The allocation list is uploaded after every round.
