Students in Delhi’s major education hubs are living in cramped, unsafe and expensive PGs and rooms, facing poor facilities, high rents, broker fraud, fire risks and waterlogging. A PTI spotcheck highlights the harsh reality of student housing despite the capital’s top educational institutions.
New Delhi: A bathroom in the balcony, a tin shed on the rooftop of a five-storey building with no lifts, a room where every inch counts and paying extra even for a plastic study table—students who come to Delhi hoping to build their futures say they are "rotting" in spaces that feel like a prison, not home.
The national capital is home to some of the country's most sought-after institutions, but getting admission is only the beginning.

In Mukherjee Nagar and Kamla Nagar around North Campus, the IAS coaching hubs of Old Rajinder Nagar, Satya Niketan and Moti Bagh near South Campus, and the CA and CS coaching hub of Laxmi Nagar, students are living in cramped rooms and PGs, far from what they had imagined when they came to Delhi.
