The result of the 2nd hostel admission list, which was supposed to be announced on August 25th, has been indefinitely delayed. No official circular has been out for the said delay.

Many students have reported that there has been a delay in the second round of hostel admission in IPCW. The circular, which claimed that the result would be out on 25th August, had been delayed as of September 3rd without any circular being issued for the said delay. Many students have expressed their frustration with the delay. The forms have been closed since 19th August, with no official circular of an extended date.

Upon asking the students as to what reasons have been provided by the college for the delay, the reasons have ranged from renovations, which we confirm with a couple of hostelers were true, to spot admission, since many students within the hostel are leaving for their upgraded colleges.

A student who requested anonymity said:

Actually, they [administration] keep giving different reasons for it; first, it was said that renovations have been going on, but now that I mailed again, they said it’s due to the ongoing admission process… as many students have upgraded to different colleges.

Another student who opted for anonymity said:

I did talk to the warden… I was told that it is late because of spot admission. I asked further if there is any notice you know for the results to come out, and I was told no, it will come out at any point in time, and you just have to check the website.”

However, in some cases, the administration has simply told the students to check the website for updates. Looking at the old archive for previous years, it’s a stark contrast; previous hostel admissions lists used to be released timely and in fact, a senior student claimed that hostel lists went on till December in 2023.

Hostels remain one of the more affordable and safer alternatives for students residing outside of Delhi. With colleges already starting and no hostel list in sight, students are stuck between finding a PG or waiting for the hostel admission list.

We have contacted the hostel warden of IPCW, but as of yet, we have not received any response.
