The hostel is a four-storeyed structure with around 100 rooms which can accommodate 350 students a large dining hall and a study hall. There is a recreation room wherein good movies are screened and parties are held. A prayer hall was also constructed under the supervision of Rev. Sr. Regina in 1988 wherein students spend time in prayer and meditation in the evenings. The hostel students are offered excellent facilities at a very reasonable amount.
The Water Purifier plant was installed in 2007 to ensure good health. Solar heating and lights is installed for the students in 2008. The hostel provides good study environment and scope for sharing of ideas and learning from one another.
