Hostel accommodation is optional and available at up to INR 96,000 per year, billed separately. Students should verify the current fee with SSN before applying, as fees are subject to revision each year.

GATE-qualified candidates should check with SSN directly for any college-specific financial support tied to GATE scores for the 2026-27 batch.
