After earthquake, the Muzaffarabad Campus was damaged. To cater to the residential needs, one boys hostel and one girls hostel at Muzaffarabad has been built with the generous grant from the HEC.
Each hostel provides mess facility, services of room attendants and telephonic facility to its boarders in addition to recreational and other basic facilities. For the limited number of seats available at the above hostels, the office of the Directorate of Students’ Affairs invites applications through the Heads of the Departments/ Institutes for the accommodation from graduate and postgraduate students.
These allotments are made strictly in accordance with the departmental merits. However, handicapped students are given preference.
