Accommodation for postgraduate
students seeking admission in Berhampur University would no longer be a problem
with university authorities allotting hostel facilities at the time of
admission. Hostel with sufficient accommodation facilities have been reserved
for first-year students - both girls and boys. The allotment of rooms was made
on the spot of their admission like the major Indian institutes-IIMs, IITs and
NITs.
Students had to face a harrowing time to get
accommodation in the hostels before implementation of this method. The
students, especially girls, constitute around 50% of total students' strength
in the university, were the biggest sufferers. "We have adopted this
student-friendly approach from last year to help students, who came from
far-off places," said vice-chancellor J K Mohapatra, whose three-year term
as VC was over on Friday. Most of the parents expressed satisfaction on the
approach, he said. "We have already allotted hostel facilities to 130
freshers - 70 girls and 60 boys - in the past two days," said hostel
warden Prasanna Kumar Biswasray. The admission process in postgraduate
departments in the university started on Wednesday. There would be no problem
to accommodate hostel-seekers this time, particularly for girls, as the
university will add three more hostels for them this time, Biswasray said. While
a 42-capacity girls' hostel meant for research scholars would start soon,
construction of two other hostels with accommodation capacity of around 200
girls is underway and is expected to be completed by the end of this year, he
said, adding that the university has also hostels facilities to accommodate
over 500 boys.
