Whether phones are allowed in hostels depends on the institution’s rules. In many school or college hostels, especially for Class 11 or 12 students, phone usage is restricted to maintain discipline and focus on studies. Some hostels allow phones only during specific hours, like one to two hours in the evening, mainly to contact parents. In university hostels, rules are often more relaxed, but misuse can still lead to restrictions. It’s important to follow the hostel guidelines strictly, as unauthorized use may lead to confiscation or disciplinary action. Always check with your specific hostel authorities for accurate rules.
