Hello,

The rules regarding mobile phones and laptops in hostels and classrooms vary by institution. Generally:

- **Hostels**: Most universities allow students to use mobile phones in the hostel, but there may be restrictions on timing or noise. Laptops are typically allowed for academic purposes.

- **Classrooms**: Phones are often restricted during lectures to avoid distractions, though laptops may be permitted for note-taking or academic work.

It’s best to check the specific institution's guidelines for precise policies.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
