# AU allots hostel accommodation to 458 UG students 2026-10-12T21:46:17+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Allahabad University has allotted hostel accommodation to 458 undergraduate students, nearly a month after completing the admission process for the current academic session. Of the allotted students, 312 are boys and 146 are girls. The university centralised the allotment process in 2026, shifting it from the hostel level to the university level to streamline the procedure. Students have been asked to complete formalities at their allotted hostels by 15 October. The allocations cover students in BA, BSc, BCom, BCA, BBA-MBA and BA LLB programmes across several hostels. Five girls' hostels are included, with Priyadarshini Hostel receiving the highest allotment of 58 students. The university admitted students from 25 states this academic session. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The centralisation of hostel allotment at Allahabad University aims to reduce inefficiencies and disputes that arose under the earlier hostel-level system. For students from 25 states, the streamlined process may mean faster confirmation of accommodation. However, with only 458 undergraduates accommodated, the number falls short of total demand. The deadline of 15 October will test whether the new system delivers on its promise of smoother formalities. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straight news agency-style report with no discernible slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
