Hey,

If you are asking about VIT Vellore, then, it is not at all compulsory to stay at the hostel while pursuing engineering course. It is optional whether you want to stay in the hostel or not. If you are from far away places, you can even opt for PG/Rental Apartments. If you are local student to Vellore, even, you can travel daily to college, and get back home. There is no as such provision to stay compulsory in the hostel at VIT Vellore.
