HOSTEL RULES AND REGULATIONS:-
These rules are applicable to both Boys/Girls Hostels.
Preamble

The mission of KSPMNI is boldly displayed at all important and strategic points in the hostel area. This dictum silently contributes to the healthy environment of commitment and discipline among the students. The students are encouraged to develop community life and inculcate the spirit of tolerance, thus taking care of their psychological and emotional problems and shape themselves to be better citizens.
