RGPV Hostel Fees 2026
RGPV's University Institute of Technology (UIT) campus in Bhopal houses a well-maintained hostel facility spread across a scenic 247-acre campus near Airport Road, Gandhi Nagar. The university currently operates four boys' hostels and two girls' hostels to accommodate UG, PG, and PhD students. All hostels are located within the secure campus environment at separate locations.
The caution money of INR 4,000 is a one-time refundable deposit collected at the time of admission. Moreover, if a student fails to pay hostel dues even after late fine deductions, the outstanding amount is adjusted from the caution money deposit. The student then loses eligibility for hostel allotment in the next semester.
