There are a total of 4 campus hostel buildings in UPES, 3 for the boys and 1 for the girls. The one for the girls is almost equal to 2 boys' hostel buildings. Girls hostel has one upper hand that is the availability of balcony, which is missing in boys hostel. All the hostel buildings have separate wardens and security measures inclusive of security guards, CCTV cameras, and a daily attendance system. Males are not allowed in girls hostels and the same is the case with boys hostels apart from parents. If we talk about the mess, boys and girls have separate messes with almost the same menu. The quality of food is much better than any other college. Non-veg is provided twice a week i.e. on Wednesdays and Sundays, however, dessert is provided every night which can be ice cream, gulab jamun, custard, or even shahi tukra. The last entry timings are also fine according to me which usually range between 7-8 depending upon the ongoing season. There are general stores, saloons, and beauty parlors available in respective hostels. If one doesn’t want to reside in-campus hostels, there are vast choices for off-campus hostels and PGs too generally located within walking distance.Read Full Review

The hostel is another important facility at the college. The college has 3 boys’ hostel and 1 girls’ hostel with a capacity of 3 times of the boys’ hostel. The total rooms in a girls' hostel are 150 and for boys is 50 rooms per hostel. The students in each batch sum up to a total of 500 so we can certainly say that there are not enough rooms in the hostel. The freshers are given priority in allotting rooms in the hostel although a lot of students prefer off-campus stay which is easily available near the college campus. The fee structure of the Hostel is on the yearly basis. A total fee of Rs 1,70,000 is charged per student for a year. This keeps increasing by Rs 10,000 every year.

The mess food is inspected frequently to ensure safety and the workers are made to follow strict guidelines for preparing food. The food menu is decided by the student body which comprises of hostellers, this menu is followed by the mess workers religiously. The taste of the food is better compared to hostels in other colleges but mass production still interferes with the taste.

The hostels are safe with decent facilities. The college gates are closed by 8 pm in summers and by 6 pm in the winters and students require a night out permissions from their parents. As the area around the college is remote and not safe when it's dark, the hostel authorities are strict in letting students out of the campus. The Campus also has an all-time present Nurse for every hostel for the safety of students.Read Full Review
