There is no such compulsion to stay in the hostel at KIIT. It depends on the student’s choice if the student is a day boarder then they can travel by bus or their own transport. The bus service is free for KIITians. A KIIT student can avail the bus service anytime.
If the student is not a day boarder then they can definitely opt for the hostel because it gets hard to find a place in BBSR at a reasonable price. Hostel life in KIIT would be beneficial for the student because of group studies and nearby facilities which cannot be found in other places that easily.
