Kabra, a student of the Savitribai Phule Pune University was inspired to embark on the CA journey by his father who is a practicing CA.

At second rank is Nishita Bothra from Kolkata, who scored 83.83%, and Manav Shah from Ghatkopar, secured the third rank with 82.17%.

Shelter struggles – Part 2: Late nights or low costs? The toss-up between hostels and PGs for Pune students
Written by Divyaja Kalyankar, Antara Kulkarni For students migrating to Pune every year for higher education, finding the right accommodation is a key concern. While some opt for the structured environment of college hostels, others prefer the freedom that comes with living in private paying guest (PG) accommodations. But what do students really prefer? Nandita Reghu, 23, a student who lives at Vaidya Girls PG in Baner, shares her experience. 'We're six girls sharing a 2BHK apartment. Two per bedroom, and two in the living room, which is converted into a bedroom. The PG is managed by the flat owner herself,' she said. For her, PG life offers flexibility and autonomy. 'There are no restrictions. I cook my own food, manage my timings, and inform roommates if I'm returning late. This independence is important to me,' she said. For many like her, the PG setup is a stepping stone toward independent living, despite the additional responsibilities. On the other hand, college hostels offer affordability and structure, a preferred choice for those seeking convenience and security. Riya Kulkarni, 21, a second-year student, who resides on the Savitribai Phule Pune University campus, said, 'Each room is shared by two students. There are five floors and biometric access. Security is 24/7, and wardens are available on alternate floors.' She described the hostel as 'safe and budget-friendly,' adding, 'At Rs 6,500 per year, it's economical. But the 10.30 pm curfew and visitor restrictions are strict.' While such rules can feel limiting, students like Riya find reassurance in the predictability and the institutional support that hostels provide. The cost difference is noticeable. While college hostel fees are around Rs 4,500 to Rs 8,000 per year, PGs in areas like Model Colony, Baner and Aundh cost anywhere between Rs 8,000 to Rs 20,000 per month, often excluding food. The higher cost of PGs is often justified by the added personal space, lenient rules, and prime locations, but it remains a concern for students managing tight budgets. Another PG resident, Aastha Jain, echoed Reghu's sentiments. 'There's definitely more freedom in PGs. But that comes with responsibility. We manage our own cooking and household chores. It teaches you to be independent,' she said. For many students, this environment helps simulate adult life and develop life skills. Hostel student Ritesh Pawar, however, disagrees. 'I didn't want the burden of managing groceries or bills. The hostel is conveniently located near various campus facilities, including the library, gym, and classrooms. It saves time,' he said. For Pawar, the convenience of being on campus and having essentials taken care of outweighs the appeal of autonomy. While hostels remain a popular choice for those seeking routine and safety, PGs are emerging as the go-to option for students who prioritise flexibility and personal space. The choice, in most cases, reflects personal priorities, whether that is academic focus, budget, freedom, or convenience. 'Ultimately, where you stay should help you grow, not just as a student, but as a person,' said Reghu. As Pune continues to grow as an educational hub, both PGs and hostels will remain integral to student life, each with its own set of trade-offs. With rising student populations and evolving preferences, the debate between PGs and hostels is far from over and increasingly, the answer lies in what a student values most: freedom or familiarity. Divyaja Kalyankar and Antara Kulkarni are interns with The Indian Express.
