Accommodation has always been an acute problem for the students who come
from outside Lahore. Government College University has the distinction
of housing maximum number of such students. It has four hostels - three
for boys and one for girls. lqbal Hostel (built in 1891) and
Quaid-e-Azam Hostel (built in 1993) accommodate about 150 and 200
Intermediate students respectively. New Hostel (built in 1937) houses
about 400 Degree students. Girls Hostel (built in 1975) accommodates
about 50 girl students.
GC
University Lahore has taken the initiative to establish Faculty
Guest House for visiting faculty and officers of the other
universities and institutions. Lodging and messing facilities
are available in the newly established Guest House.
Accommodation (for
Intermediate students)
Every student is expected to live in
harmony with his parents. The student who is desirous of living with
some close relative, other than the parents, should produce a written
permission letter signed duly to this effect by his father or guardian.
The name of the relative, his occupation, designation, address and
precise relationship must be specified. It will not be enough to write
that the student is going to reside with his cousin, etc.

GCU LAHORE
VICE CHANCELLOR SLASHES HOSTELS FEE BY 35PC
GC University
Lahore Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Muhammad Khaleeq-ur-Rahman
slashed the university’s hotels fee by 35 percent to facilitate
the students. The Hostels Committee of the GC University Lahore
has issued the notification of revised dues for Quaid-i-Azam
Hostel and Allama Iqbal Hostel. The GCU Vice Chancellor has
waived off the hostels’ admission fee, miscellaneous dues and
welfare funds.
Chairing a
meeting of GCU Hostels Committee, GCU Hostels Committee Chairman
Prof. Dr. Khalid Pervaiz said that it might be the first time in
the history of any educational institution that the fee is
reduced. He said that GCU Hostels
already have very nominal fee and in wake ongoing rocketing
inflation and education budget cuts, it was fairly difficult to
provide students any relief, but
the Vice Chancellor took a very bold step by reducing the
hostels fee by 35 percent.
The Vice
Chancellor also directed the hostels superintendents that not
even a single facility being provided to the students should be
affected due to the reduction in dues. The Vice Chancellor said
that “students who come from far areas to seek knowledge deserve
our special attention”. He pledged that the University would
also increase scholarships for the deserving students through
its Endowment Fund Trust.
Prof. Dr.
Muhammad Khaleeq-ur-Rahman also appreciated efforts of the
newly-appointed Superintendent Quaid-i-Azam Hostel Abdul Waheed
and Superintendent New Hostel Khadim Ali Khan for the welfare of
students. The GCU students have expressed gratitude to the Vice
Chancellor on reduction of hostels fee.
