Ask Counsellor
RVCE has separate hostels for boys (Swami Vivekananda Hostel) and girls (Saraswathi Bai Devi Hostel) on the Mysuru Road campus. Rooms are predominantly triple and double occupancy for first-years, with single rooms available from the second year by seniority. Hostel charges for 2025-26 are typically ₹85,000-1,10,000 per year inclusive of mess (vegetarian and non-veg options at separate counters), with extra charges for AC rooms in select blocks. Hot-water geysers, Wi-Fi, CCTV-monitored entrances and 24×7 security are standard. Mess timings broadly run 7:00-9:30 (breakfast), 12:30-14:30 (lunch), 19:30-21:30 (dinner) with North Indian, South Indian and Continental options on rotation. Weekend leave requires hostel-warden approval and a parent confirmation call. Students typically bring their own bedding (mattress, pillow, two bedsheets, blanket), a steel bucket and mug, padlock for the cupboard and basic toiletries. Local PG accommodations on Mysuru Road, Kengeri and Rajarajeshwari Nagar provide a fallback at ₹8,000-15,000 per month if hostel seats run out.
