Ques. Is hostel accommodation available for Diploma JMC students at Anjaneya University?
Ans. Anjaneya University provides optional hostel accommodation at INR 75,000 per year, covering room and boarding expenses. This charge is separate from the INR 50,000 course fee and is not counted in the total. Students from outside Raipur or Chhattisgarh often find on-campus housing a convenient and cost-effective option given the university’s well-connected location at Knowledge Village, Naradha, near Vidhan Sabha Road.
Ques. How does Anjaneya University select students for the Diploma JMC programme?
Ans. Selection is based entirely on the aggregate percentage in Class 12 across all subjects. No entrance test or personal interview is conducted. Applicants scoring 85 percent or above automatically qualify for a 25 percent merit-based tuition waiver on the first year. A higher aggregate score meaningfully improves the chance of securing a seat in the published merit list during the annual admission process.
