Are hostellers allowed to go outside LPU?

Question

ARUN · Answer

Yes definitely, hostellers are allowed to visit outside the campus but there are certain rules and regulations which a student needs to consider and follow. It is just same, when the child is at home and parents bind them with some rules to be followed which are for their own safety. Every parent invests their trust in the institute, for the safety of their ward, so it is the responsibility of the University to manage the student by imposing some rules. A student has to mark a biometric attendance while entering or exiting the hostel. Boys have more relaxations in relation to time duration compared to the girl. For example, Boys has to come back and mark their presence by 7 PM whereas Girls need to come back in the hostel by 6 PM. Security guards, cctv cameras all are for their security purpose. Hope this will be of help.

Yes! Of Course. Students who are living in hostels are given the freedom to go outside but some rules are expected from the students to be followed diligently. Boys can go outside from Hostel during the working hours without any permission but after the working hours of university, which usually ends at 5:00 PM, you must be present inside Hostel for Daily Attendance. Whenever girls go for day leave and night leave they have to apply for online through UMS and they will be issued a hard copy of it, which they are supposed to show at the main GATE to security guards. Also, the parents will be informed about this by Hostel Wardens through call or text message in their registered phone numbers. For boys, there is some flexibility in rules as compared to the rules for girls. Boys are allowed to go outside and need no permission but they have to come back before 8 PM.

LPU is the safest campus. 24x7 security surveillance through 4000+ CCTV cameras is the backbone of LPU security system. Boys are allowed to go out but they have to come back before 8pm but girls have a bit more safe rules. In winters they have to come back to their hostels before 6 pm and in summers they have to report back in their hostels before 7 pm. If the girls have to be on leave for nights then they have to apply for the same through their UMS. They take the hard copy of the approved leaves to be shown at main GATE while going out and coming in. Also, the parents of the girls are informed via text message or call by warden itself. All these rules are for the safety of students. Though the boys are allowed to go out without any permission but they have to return to the university before 8pm.

Being an alumni of LPU & a previous resident of LPU Hostel, let me just share with you some of the rules & regulations of Boys Hostel of LPU. 1) 0% Ragging, 0% tolerance to any illegal substances like alcohol, drugs etc. Strict actioned used to be taken against the defaulters in case non-adherence of such rules. 2) Students are not allowed to enter any other Hostel without permission of the authority.

Yes, but there are restrictions in timings for hostellers to go out from LPU. There isn't any particular timing for the hostel but students are expected to be back on the university campus by 6 pm. Boys do not have any hostel timing in LPU but at the time of attendance boys have to be inside the hostel and generally hostel attendance timing is 8:00 Pm to 9:00 Pm, you have to be inside the campus for that time, after your attendance are done you can move out of the hostel and roam inside the campus. The hostel has all facilities to ensure that the students are provided with everything they need to be able to give due attention to their academics.

Hi there, Absolutely Yes, Hostellers are allowed to go outside the LPU Campus provided they meet certain policies and procedures laid down for the same. Well, I have been studying at LPU from past four years and staying in LPU-hostels throughout. Its is better to stay there rather than any outside PG or something. Students can move out of the University on national holidays and on Sundays. In addition to it, if any student is seeking day-out or holiday then he/she needs to apply for the same using the University Management System (UMS) giving proper reason and detailing about the destination of the visit. The same is verified from their parents and their consent is sought by the Hostel Warden. Once verified and approved, a hard copy of the approved request is handed over to the respective student. Student needs to show the approved hard copy at all the main entry/exit points before marching out of the campus and while reporting back as well. This is also to be noted that the day-out leaves or leaves to visit back home are limited in numbers. Girls must report back before 7 PM in Summer and before 6 PM in Winter. However, Boys can report back by 8 PM. All such movements are recorded by completely automated system I. e. controlled by Bio-Metric Machines wherein Finger Impression of the student is a must. Turnstile Gates and CCTVs are also installed for additional safety of the students. Hope this helps. Thank You.

Being a student living in LPU hostel, I can answer this question with my past 2 years of experience. It is noting like hostellers cannot go outside the campus but yes there are proper rules and conditions for the hosteller about timing keeping the safety of students as a priority so that the parents stay relaxed and tension free for their children. University provides all the facilities like ATMs, Groceries shop, Gadgets shop, Bank, Gym, etc. For the student so that they don't have to go outside the campus. Boys are allowed to go outside the campus but they have to enter the campus before 8 PM and for girls, there are some more rules as compared to boys. Girls are not allowed to go outside the campus without permission and they have to enter the hostel at a fixed time, time depends on the season as in winter they have to enter the hostel at 6 PM and in summer at 7 PM. If girls have some work outside the campus, they have to apply for the leave by UMS then the warden will talk to your parents to ask for their permission and give you the hardcopy of the leave that you have to show at the main GATE. There are limited leaves available for the student as per the semester. I hope these many details help you but if you want any further information regarding this you can call this toll-free number 1800 274 0615. Thank You.
