Safety First:

SAFETY Mark indicates that internal safeguards have been incorporated to protect against fire and electrical hazards. Usage of electrical devices is subject to management approval and electrical charges too.

 

Save water and electricity: 

We get it, you paid for your Hostel Fees. Still, let’s be conservative about saving water & Electricity in the name of a Sustainable Campus.

 

Keep pests at bay:

Your Hostel is a Home away from Home, but let’s not make it a home for pests too. Remember to dispose food waste properly in designated bins and bin hoppers directly!

Be considerate:

No one likes having their rest interrupted when music is blasting from the adjacent room. Let’s all be considerate, shall we? “Quiet Hours” must be observed between 10pm to 7am.
