Boys Hostels

The university came in to being in 1975 and started providing accommodation to the students in rented buildings in Gulgasht Colony Multan. The university shifted to new campus in 1980 and decided to provide proper Hostel accommodation to the students at the new campus. It was decided to construct four boy’s Hostels at the new campus on the name them after the four caliphs of Islam. First of four proposed hostel Abu-Bakar Hall was completed in December 1980 and started providing accommodation to the students in January 1981.There are 250 furnished cubicles in Abu-Bakar Hall. The Hall contains all possible facilities with special emphasis on cleanliness, good quality food and discipline. The Hostel office maintains mess and Hostel accounts of the residents with a senior clerk a junior clerk storekeeper and a Naib Qasid who work under the guidance of the Hostel Administrations.

With opening of new departments as the number of students increases substantially. Abu-Bakar Hall proved inadequate in meeting the increased demand. To overcome the shortage of accommodation of the University students a new Hostel Umer Hall was completed in September 1984. The Hall has 254 cubicles and contains almost all the facilities provided in the Abu-Bakar Hall. The office of the Warden and superintendent are also located in this Hostel. This Hall has however a special feature that it contains some reserved rooms for University guests and delegates of conferences/sports.

In November 1985, First phase of Girls Hostels building at New Campus was completed and started functioning. Later on with the increase demand for residence, the second phase with an additional 125 cubical rooms capacity was started and completed in December 1987. Presently, Girls Hostel Marryam Hall providing capacity of 250 residential rooms with additional facilities of two dining Halls, a Common Room, Reading Room, Guest Room, Play Ground, dispensary and Canteen Stores. The number of girls student increase with the opening of new departments and new courses of morning and evening and the Marryam Hall proved inadequate to meet the increasing demand, therefore the old administration block was converted into hostel and second girls hostel (Fatima Hall) started functioning in April 1998. The Hall has 58 rooms for 150 girl students and contains all necessary facilities provided in the Marryam Hall. The third Girls hostel (Aisha Hall) started functioning in April 1999.
