There are illegal boarders who are not enrolled in any course but have been staying in hostels in name of students who have been provided accommodation in hostels DSW informed adding then there are other illegal boarders who were provided accommodation in hostels in past but have retained seats in hostels even after completion of courses in which they were enrolled.
