What if I don't get the college I wanted during counselling?

If your allocated college changes after counselling rounds, your PG search priorities shift too. A room near Hindu College may not be convenient if you end up at a college in South Campus instead. DUPGS covers PG listings near all major DU colleges — your next option is always on the platform. Most PG owners understand that students may need to cancel or adjust their booking if counselling outcomes change. Always confirm the cancellation policy with the owner before committing.

Can I shift to a different PG in the middle of a semester?

Technically yes, but it comes with costs. You will likely lose your security deposit at the current PG and need to pay a fresh deposit at the new one. Most PG owners require at least one month's written notice before vacating. If you are unhappy with your current PG, try speaking to the owner first — most issues like food quality, internet speed, or roommate problems can be resolved with open communication. If that fails, give proper notice and browse DUPGS listings for mid-semester availability. Aim to give at least 3 to 4 weeks notice at your current PG so you have time to find and finalise a new place.

What documents do I need for PG admission in Delhi?

Most PG owners require: your Aadhar card (original plus 3 photocopies), 8–12 passport-size photographs, your college ID card or admission letter, and a refundable security deposit (typically 1–2 months rent). Some owners also ask for a parent's Aadhar card as emergency contact and a local guardian's details. Budget around Rs. 5,000–Rs. 15,000 for the initial deposit and first month's rent combined. Never hand over original documents — copies are sufficient for PG registration. Keep digital copies on your phone as backup.

Are PGs near metro stations more expensive?

Generally yes, proximity to a metro station adds a premium. A room near GTB Nagar Metro or Vishwavidyalaya Metro typically costs Rs. 1,000–2,000 more per month than an equivalent room a 15-minute walk away. The premium is worth it if you commute daily to college or have evening classes. For students whose colleges are within walking distance of their PG, metro proximity matters less. Use the area filter on DUPGS to compare prices across locations and decide what commute time is acceptable for your budget.

How far in advance should I book a PG near Delhi University?

The earlier the better — ideally start looking as soon as you receive your admission confirmation. The best rooms in Kamla Nagar and North Campus are typically taken by mid-June. If you are joining a popular college like Hindu College or SRCC in July, aim to have a shortlist ready and owners contacted by late May or early June. Even if you cannot visit in person until July, making contact early and expressing interest locks you into a shortlist before the peak-season rush. During July and August, decent options get taken within days of being listed.
