St Xavier's College

It is located within the campus. The hostel is entirely under the college management, which runs it on the basis of minority rights. SXMH offers good facilities and a conducive academic ambience to a limited number of students. There are 168 total seats available, distributed among UG and PG students studying in various programmes at St. Xavier’s College, Ahmedabad. The total number of new admissions available in the hostel each year is 40. This hostel is primarily meant for students from the rural areas and those who belong to economically backward classes. The management entirely reserves the right to grant admission to the hostel. The Principal is the sole in-charge of the hostel but he delegates his power to the Hostel Rector for administration and overseeing. The hostel contains limited accommodations; therefore, securing admission in the college does not guarantee a place in the hostel.

Hostelites who fail to secure 85% of attendance in a semester at the college, and those who accumulate more than three arrears (ATKT) in an academic year will be liable for termination of the stay.

The number of applications received for new admissions in the hostel is always far greater than the number of seats available. Keeping it in mind, the following selection process is followed by the management.

Hostel mess is purely a vegetarian mess. No non-veg food is served at the mess under any circumstances. No breakfast is served as well. Students will be served two meals per day, lunch and supper, every day except on feast days. On Sundays, the mess follows a system of feast in which special food is served with traditional sweets. On the feast day, only lunch is served. Supper is not served on feast days.

After obtaining the admission in the college the students are requested to fill the hostel preliminary application form, from the college hostel and submit it before the deadline.
