Boy's Hostel

St. Xavier’s College, Ranchi provides hostel facility only for boys students in the college campus. The main objective of the hostel is to cater needy and hard working students. Hostel has 3 blocks A, B and C. Block A and B have 4 bedded rooms whereas block C has double and single bedded rooms.

Admission in the college doesnot guarantee admission in the hostel. Admission in the hostel is given by inviting application in a prescribed format from the aspiring students of the first semester after their admission in the college. Beds are allotted on the priority basis for the students belonging to the marginal sections (ST/SC/OBC) and also to those students coming from the remote and far-flung areas. Remaining seats, if available, are usually allotted to students of other categories.

The hostels are well furnished and operate under the supervision of Hostel Superintendent with his Assistants (Hostel Wardens). The students are expected to contribute towards the cleanliness of their rooms and blocks. However, there are designated cleaning staffs for maintaining hygiene. The hostel does not provide self-cooking facility; their meals are prepared by cooks following a particular time table.
