Quick answer: IUB does not publish its hostel fee for Pakistani students on its website. Hostel dues are charged on your hostel challan, and the official Fall 2025 fee PDF does not include them. The only hostel charges IUB publishes online are for international students: USD 500 (standard menu) or USD 1,000 (special menu); the page does not say whether this is per semester or per year. Officially, IUB has 16 hostels across five campuses with space for about 10,000 students, and two students share a room.

How to Get an IUB Hostel Seat and Pay the Hostel Dues
- Get admission first. Hostel seats are for enrolled IUB students. Confirm your admission and pay the semester fee from your merit list.
- Apply to the hostel office of your campus. Each campus has its own halls (see the table above). Ask the hostel/Provost office for the current application form, the document list and the last date.
- Pay the hostel challan. The hostel dues for Pakistani students are given on the hostel challan. They are not in IUB’s published fee PDF, so do not rely on figures from other websites.
- Keep every receipt. You may need them for clearance, refund or degree.
Need help paying? The HEC BISP Undergraduate Scholarship (formerly Ehsaas) pays tuition as per actual plus Rs 40,000 per year, and the HEC Need-Based Scholarship pays fees plus Rs 6,000 per month. Both stipends can be used towards living costs such as hostel. See our IUB scholarship guide.
