Do we get hostels right after we join NIT Raipur, and can parents stay at the guest house while attending for admission?

There are several factors considered by NIT Raipur before allotting permanent hostels to students. The points below give a brief overview of the conditions and processes of hostel allotment in the institute.

• During the initial days, every student can get a temporary hostel allotment. But, the selection of students for permanent hostel allotment is based on their score in the 11th and 12th classes.
• The admission process is generally short, which does not need much time. So, the institute will not provide accommodation to parents.
• In most cases, the institute does not provide any kind of accommodation during the admission process. So, own arrangements are required.
• At most, 40% of students get a permanent hostel. Though the figure is quite less, it is not a problem to stay as there are several private hostels/pgs available in Kota, which are located behind the campus. There are several kinds of accommodation- single, 2 or 3 sharing basis, etc.
• One of the major concerns staying in hostels is the quality and type of food available. It is difficult to adjust, especially for people from Southern states. Though this is a problem, students get used to the local food available.

These are some of the general concerns for students coming to NIT Raipur. Hope this helped to clear your doubts.
