Hostels
Students who do not live with their parents or guardians duly recognised
by the Principal, shall reside in hostels or lodgings inspected and approved
by the Institute's Authorities. However the Principal has discretion to
refuse admission of a student to any hostel.
Admission
and Allotment of Rooms
- Every
student is required to stay in the Institute's Hostel at Manipal unless
the parent/guardian of the student concerned has applied in writing
that his ward should be permitted to stay outside. Students however
may be permitted to stay in the private houses of relations, or friends
or in their own lodges with the prior permission of the Principal or
if refused admission in any hostels according to the discretion of the
Principal.
- The names
of all the students admitted to the hostel will be entered in a Register.
The student shall sign the register kept in the Hostel Office within
a fortnight after his admission.
- Once a
student has been admitted to the hostel, he will not be permitted to
leave without a written application of his father or guardian and without
the permission of the Principal.
- Every
student when he is first admitted to the Institute and also subsequently
when he returns to Manipal after the summer vacation must fill in the
prescribed application form for allotment of a room in one of the hostels.
These forms may be obtained in the Institute's Office or from the Hostel
Clerk.
- Rooms
will be allotted by Wardens, taking into consideration the priority
of the applications, seniority in the course of studies, result of the
examination held earlier and such other criteria, at their discretion.
No allotment will be made to students who have not paid their Institution
fee and other fees. No student shall claim as a right any particular
room or seat in the hostel.
- Pending
the final allotment of rooms by the Warden the students may be permitted
to temporarily occupy any vacant seat in any of the hostel blocks. Rooms
thus occupied must be vacated soon after the permanent allotments are
notified.
- The Principal
or the Chief Warden may refuse admission to the hostel at any time as
a disciplinary measure.
- Students
must occupy only the rooms allotted to them by the Warden. They shall
not change over to any other room except with his written permission.
- All students
residing in the hostels are required to mess in one of the attached
messes, unless written permission in obtained from the Warden to the
contrary.
- Allotment
of a room made in favour of any student is subject to cancellation if
he fails to occupy it before the notified date. Students will also forfeit
their rooms if they fail to clear all their dues to the hostel by the
appointed day. In all such cases the seat may be allotted to other deserving
claimants.
Messes
Eight separate messes, Vegetarian and non-vegetarian, one cosmopolitan
mess are attached to the hostels. Each student must specify his preference
of the time of his admission to the hostel.Students will not generally
be permitted to change from one mess to another in the middle of a month.

organisation run by students of the Institute to co-ordinate their athletic,
social and cultural life.
