I am a first-year student. Is it compulsory for me to avail the hostel accommodation?

We think it is a good idea for first year students to stay in the student hostels – it helps them bond together, and that in turn, improves their experience of the KIIT life. So yes, it is compulsory for a first-year student to live in a hostel.

In exceptional cases, however, permission may be granted by the Dean or Director to stay out of the hostel.
