In Telangana, more than 100,000 seats in government hostels are unoccupied as students cite inadequate living conditions and outdated course offerings.
More than 100,000 seats in government hostels across Telangana remain unfilled, according to a report by The Times of India.
The shortfall is attributed to deteriorating living conditions and a curriculum that many students find irrelevant.
Students have complained that dormitories lack basic amenities such as clean water, proper ventilation and adequate sanitation, while the courses offered are outdated and do not align with current industry needs.
The state government has acknowledged the issue and said it is reviewing hostel infrastructure and course content, but no concrete timeline has been announced.
The vacancy raises concerns about the effectiveness of state‑run educational support and the potential impact on student enrollment and retention.
