Accommodation
Limited accommodation may be arranged on or near the IIT Ropar campus, subject to availability, payment, institutional approval, and confirmation from the organising committee.

3. Room allocation
4. Accommodation charges
5. Check-in and check-out timings
6. Identification requirements
