A new policy to accommodate Post Doctoral Fellows, Project Assistants/ Project Associates/ Project Fellows has been approved by the Vice-Chancellor.
As per the new policy, such of those whose applications (submitted after October 01, 2016) have been considered till December 31, 2016 will be required to apply again while adhering to the new policy. PDFs/PAs who have been provided accommodation earlier can continue to stay until their period of stay in the hostel expires. Henceforth, applicants with salaries above INR 25,000 will not be considered for accommodation on campus.
The deadline to apply again is December 26, 2016.

Since there are 21 hostels, we will have a total of 63 rooms across the campus capable of accommodating a total of 126 candidates. Once the 63 rooms are occupied, the CWO will cease to provide accommodation to candidates under this category.
