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.

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 hostel does not provide self-cooking facility; their meals are prepared by cooks following a particular time table.
