Hello Gaurav,

The allotment of Hostel for B.A. in BHU follows the following criteria:

1. If your home lies within 10 kilometres of the Campus, you won't be alloted the hostel.
2. Also, there is 22% quota for SC/ST students, and no reservation for OBC. Last year, students with merit index around 230 and above were alloted the hostel.

Therefore, it cannot be said with certainty whether you can get a hostel at BHU or not. Also, it depends on availability of rooms.

Hope this helps you. Feel free to ask any more questions.

Have a good day!!

Hello Aspirant,

You should also mention your caste category for accurate information.

Rank can fluctuate but I can tell you about the marks needed to secure hostel.

In last year, the last student which got hostel had 221 marks. So you should score at least 230+ marks to be on the safe side. Now there are 2 hostels which are alloted to undergraduate students of social sciences - Acharya Narendra Dev and Shrimati Moona Devi. Toppers are alloted Acharya Narendra Dev hostel while the rest are alloted Moona Devi Hostel. I was alloted the latter one.

So you have got 232 Mark so you will get hostel according to previous year cutoff.

I hope I answered the query.

Thank you.
