The financial assistance expected from the HRD ministry will also be utilised for setting up two more hostels in the campus, he said. The two upcoming hostels will provide residential facilities to 2,000-odd students of the varsity, Abrar added.

The university is not able to offer hostel facilities to about 700 students in every academic session due to the shortage of rooms in the hostels, the official added.
