We have multiple types of rooms that students can opt for, ranging from twin-sharing, triple-sharing, and multi-sharing dorms. Students can also opt for AC and Non-AC rooms within any sharing category.”
Mr. Shalabh Sharma, Chief Engineer of DJ Group of Institutions added “We have built this hostel keeping in mind the standards used in the construction of a multi-story modern residential complex. We have built a 300 KLD STP that will ensure hygiene and sanitation. The objective was to create a building that would further the goal of a smart, automated, and sustainable campus. With ground floor barricading of windows, 35 CCTV cameras, and an advanced fire safety system, this hostel building will be synonymous with the highest degree of student safety and security. In addition to this, we have designed each floor with in-built fiber cables to ensure ultra-high speed internet.”
Drawings, interiors, and services of the undergraduate hostel were planned by Prospective Designs, a Delhi based, leading architecture firm, led by its founder, Ms. Priyanka Chaudhary.
Rhitik Jassar, COO, DJ Group of Institutions, commented that “Our intention was to create a space where students would have everything they could possibly need, for recreation and academics.” He added “We have provided an indoor sports complex for badminton and table tennis. There is also a 24-hour library and study room that is sound-proof to ensure students can study free from any distractions. An annexe block adjacent to the hostel houses the warden’s office on the first floor and the parents and visitors lounge on the ground floor. We are also working on creating an app that will enable contactless services for everyday essentials such as laundry, and also have provision to resolve maintenance related complaints of students.”
DJ Group of Institutions has a campus of 75 acres and is located in Modinagar, an hour’s distance from Delhi. The campus has 6 residential towers with a total capacity of housing 1600 persons. The group is currently working on building a medical college and a 1000 bedded hospital facility, a first of its kind in Western Uttar Pradesh.
