Hostel at PES University 2026

**By Sakshi Sonal** PES hostels are unevenly run: only the RR Boys Hostel is directly managed by PES University, while all Girls Hostels (RR + EC) and the EC Boys Hostel are outsourced to **Living Space** ([livingspaceblr.com](https://livingspaceblr.com)). ### RR Boys Hostel — directly managed A boys-only hostel inside the RR Campus footprint, managed by the PES Boys Hostel office / PESIT Hostel. - **DD payment** favouring "**PESIT Hostel**" payable at Bangalore (no cash, no cheque) - **Local Guardian (LG) required:** must be ≥35 years and English-speaking; LG must be introduced to and approved by Warden/Asst Manager - **4-step admission process:** 1. Introduction of LG to Warden/Asst Manager (approval required) 2. Briefing session — student + parent + LG together, ~3 hours, no mobiles, no children 3. Hostel application form submission (form Rs. 100, issued only after briefing) with all enclosures 4. DD payment + acknowledgement (provisional admission only — does NOT guarantee a seat) - Earlier process completion = better preferred Block/Room selection at Permanent Room Allotment - Check-in: max 3 days before classes; bring acknowledgement + 1 door lock with 3 keys + 1 wardrobe lock with key - [data ceiling — fee per year for RR Boys Hostel not published on pes.edu; warden name not published] ### RR Girls Hostel — Living Space (outsourced) ~2 km from RR Campus, with college buses available. 24-hour security. Wifi enabled. Permanent laundry service. Fixed-menu mess (North + South Indian; no menu-change requests entertained). Day-boarding option (Fri evening out, Mon morning back). ### EC Boys + Girls Hostel — Living Space (outsourced) Both hostels run by Living Space. Contact via livingspaceblr.com — pes.edu does not publish direct contact details or fees. ### Common amenities (per /faqs) - 24-hour security at both - Wifi enabled in all hostels - Permanent laundry service - Day-boarding option (Fri evening out, Mon morning back) - 2 canteens (N+S Indian) + snack/coffee points on campus - Centralised library + departmental libraries + e-journals ### HN Campus + IMSR Kuppam HN Campus (PU + Diploma) has no hostel listing on /hostel. PES IMSR Kuppam hostel info is on a separate portal (pesimsr.pes.edu) not in pes.edu scope. ### What this means If you are a girls-hostel resident or a boys EC-Campus student, you will deal with Living Space (third party) — direct booking on livingspaceblr.com, with fee/availability transparency dependent on that provider. Only RR Boys Hostel residents transact directly with PES University. KUPECA note: PES Deemed Univ; hostel fee regulation falls under UGC norms, not Karnataka KUPECA Act.
