NUST Hostel Application Process: How to Apply, Documents, and Allotment Criteria

Who Is Eligible for NUST Hostel?

Only students registered for statutory courses at the Islamabad campus are eligible for NUST hostel accommodation. Hostels are primarily for outstation students. Hostel accommodation is strictly allotted according to the application seniority list, not on a first-come-first-served basis — the earlier you apply after admission confirmation, the higher your priority.

How to Apply

Step 1: Newly enrolled undergraduate students apply online through ugadmissions.nust.edu.pk. Postgraduate students through nust.edu.pk. Step 2: Once your application is approved, a 6-month Hostel Accommodation Charges challan and Hostel Security Charges challan (PKR 25,000) are issued on your Qalam account. Step 3: Pay the challan and keep the receipt. Step 4: Upon arrival at the hostel, submit the payment receipt to your Hostel Manager. Step 5: Also submit the NUST Hostel Rules Awareness Certificate (signed). Step 6: A monthly mess fee challan (PKR 18,000) plus refundable mess security (PKR 20,000) is issued separately.

Required Documents

• NUST admission confirmation letter
• Paid hostel accommodation fee challan
• Paid hostel security deposit challan (PKR 25,000)
• NUST Hostel Rules Awareness Certificate (signed)
• CNIC or B-Form copies
• Passport-size photographs

Important Rules

Failure to submit the required documents within 7 days of application can result in removal from the waiting list. Hostel allotment is for one semester and must be renewed. Students leaving the hostel must submit a Hostel Leaving Form and get clearance from the warden.
