Good morning,

Yes ,it is mandatory to stay at hostel because at the time of admission you have to pay hostel fees as DD along with the admission and tution fees for the entire semester . But in case you're not willing to stay at hostel and you have a genuine reason for that ,then you could talk to Associate Dean of students welfare division and attend college as a day scholar ,but you need to be accompanied by a guardian or parent for this.Thus ,you can stay outside and attend as a day scholar .Hope this is helpful.

Thank you!
