Hostels in Delhi University

Accommodation is the biggest problem for students who come from outside Delhi to seek admission in Delhi University. Their first priority is to get accommodation in a hostel, because finding appropriate rooms in Delhi is a challenge in itself. But hostel accommodation is never easy to come by as only a few colleges provide hostel facility at graduate level, where at least 15 to 20 applications are received for a mere 2 to 3 seats allotted for every course. So here also priority is given to merit lists.

Hostels for Boys

Hostels are available in Hindu college, Venkateswara College, Hansraj, International Students House, Shri Ram College of Commerce, Kirori Mal College, and St Stephen's College.
