Banaras Hindu University (BHU) is in the process of addressing the issue of the shortage of hostel accommodation and has formed a committee to evaluate and recommend properties outside the BHU campus, which are offering accommodation facilities.
A large number of students getting admitted to various programmes of BHU prefer to stay on campus. However, not all of them are able to get hostel accommodation and many go for hostel and rooms available on rent outside BHU premises.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Sudhir Kumar Jain has constituted a committee to evaluate and recommend the accreditation to properties outside the BHU campus, which are offering accommodation to the students. The committee members will visit the private hostels, lodge, guest house, properties and consult their owners.
They will evaluate several aspects like cleanliness, basic amenities, security, ambience, surroundings, distance from the university, connectivity, rent, other charges, food quality and any other important criteria to make recommendations or suggestions for accreditation to the said premises. The recommendations made by the committee will not be binding on the students and they will be free to pick any accommodation of their choosing.
