2. The application process will be conducted online, allowing students to apply from any location without the need for physical presence.
3. Additional guidelines and requirements will be communicated alongside the official application notice.

Application Timeline:

Students are hereby informed that the official date for the commencement of hostel application will be announced in due course through appropriate communication channels.
