Admission to the hostel will be granted based on the department’s guidelines and general conditions. Priority will be given to students whose parents do not reside in Jaipur, are non-income tax payers, and do not own a house within 20 km of Jaipur headquarters. Special preference will be given to girls from BPL families, orphans, daughters of widowed women, and differently-abled students.

Selection for admission will be based on merit, determined by marks obtained in Class 10 for IIT-JEE and NEET aspirants, and graduation marks for other exams.
