The College Management has outsourced the hostel & dining facilities with a third party nearby.
St. Xavier’s College Hostel is an integral part of St. Xavier’s College. It is located within the college campus, thus helping students save on travelling time and related expenses. Boys and girls have separate places of accommodation and study, though the mess and many other facilities are common. The boys’ wing is supervised and managed by the Jesuit Fathers and girls’ wing by the Reverend Sisters. Effort is made to make the Hostel a home away from home, a temple of learning, and a place to enhance one’s personality not only by training in soft skills but also by nurturing the most cherished human values and ethos of our culture and tradition.
Interested students can approach RN Hospitality Services.

AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF THE HOSTEL
Human excellence, compassion, leading to the uplift of those at the margins of society, and academic competence are the cherished goals of Jesuit education. The hostel being a part of the college, shares and abets these goals. Hostellers are encouraged to utilize the opportunities provided to shape themselves into dynamic and vibrant persons. So, the main thrust of the hostel is to help its inmates to grow as persons who are physically fit, emotionally sound, socially enlightened, academically brilliant, morally upright and spiritually elevated. In short, our aim is to fashion men and women who are with others and for others.
THE MOTTO
The motto of the Hostel is “United in Mind and Heart”. It indicates the way the hostellers live and interact with each other. It presents an ideal in which the hostellers, though they come from various geographical, cultural and religious backgrounds, live and study together as one community without having any distinction of class, caste or religion. To live up to this ideal, co-operation and active effort of each and every hosteller is essential; it is also necessary to respect the feelings and aspirations of companions.
ADMISSION
Only students of the College will be admitted to the Hostel. Once the college admission is secured, students have to undergo the formalities of hostel admission procedure. The parent(s)/guardian(s) of the applicants along with the student are required to be present for an interview with the Director of the Hostel before being admitted. Admission is done for only one year. Those who like to be readmitted in the next year must apply again in the prescribed forms. The decision on readmission will take into consideration the performance of the students in academics and character formation in the previous year. It remains at the discretion of the Hostel Management whether to readmit a student or not. Even during the academic year, the membership of a hosteller can be cancelled at any time, if students do not show sufficient growth envisaged in the vision of the Hostel.
