Girls PG Near Doon University
Doon University sits at Kedarpur on the Ajabpur side, away from the Clement Town student belt — which means a smaller, quieter rental market and less of it geared specifically to women. What exists is good; there just isn't much, so timing matters more here than almost anywhere in Dehradun.
Who lives here
Women studying at Doon University across its schools, plus a smaller group at the neighbouring institutions on the Ajabpur and Mothrowala side.
What to check, and what parents will ask. Gate timings and whether they flex for evening classes, whether a warden lives on site, how well lit the approach from the main road is, the visitor policy in practice, and hot water through the winter.
Where to live, area by area
Rents below are indicative ranges for a private room in a shared flat, before deposit. Confirm the number with the person before you commit to anything.
The campus's own area. Closest, quietest, and the smallest stock — it goes first and there isn't much of it.
₹5,000 – ₹8,500 / month for a private room
Ten minutes out, the main residential belt serving the university, with most of the PG stock on this side.
₹4,500 – ₹8,000 / month for a private room
Fifteen to twenty minutes, cheaper and newer, and shared with the Graphic Era overflow.
₹4,500 – ₹8,000 / month for a private room
Toward the city, better neighbourhoods and better food, twenty to thirty minutes from campus.
₹6,000 – ₹10,000 / month for a private room

What it actually costs per month in Doon University
Rent is the number people compare, and it is rarely the number that decides anything. This is the realistic all-in figure for one person sharing a flat in Doon University.

Dehradun deposits are the gentlest anywhere Bunkd operates — one month is normal and plenty of PG owners ask for none at all if you pay quarterly. Read the security deposit guide before you hand anything over, and get the refund terms written on the receipt.
Flatmate, roommate or PG — which one do you actually want?
The words get used interchangeably and they are not the same thing, which matters when you are searching.
- A flatmate shares the flat but has their own room. You split rent and bills, cook or order separately, and keep your own space. This is what most working professionals in Doon University mean when they say flatmate.
- A roommate shares the room itself. Cheapest option by a wide margin — often 40 to 50 percent less than a private room — and common among students and first-jobbers who are saving hard.
- A PG gives you a bed with meals and cleaning handled, plus house rules and often a gate timing. Simpler to start, less freedom, and once you split a flat three ways the cost difference usually disappears.
Bunkd covers all three. You set whether you want your own room or are happy sharing one, and the matching works the same way either direction. If a PG is what you are after, the honest PG versus flatshare comparison is worth five minutes before you sign.
When to look
Admissions land in June and July. Kedarpur's stock is small enough that it clears quickly, and the fallback is Ajabpur rather than anything closer. Looking in May rather than July is the difference between walking to campus and commuting to it.
What to check before you pay anything
- Ask the gate-closing time and whether evening classes or labs are an exception. Get it in writing.
- Walk the route from the main road after dark or ask someone already living there.
- Check whether the owner or a warden actually lives on the premises.
- Confirm hot water timings — Dehradun winters are cold and this is the most common complaint.
- Ask whether the rate is per bed or per room before anything else.
Finding the person, not just the room
Most flatshares fail on lifestyle, not on rent. Bunkd asks the things that actually decide whether living together works — sleep schedule, cleanliness, social battery, guest policy, food preference and your one real dealbreaker — and matches on those. You swipe through people, match when it is mutual, and chat inside the app before anyone shares a phone number.
If you have not found a flat yet, Squad Mode lets you match with other people searching in Doon University so you can pool budgets and take a 2BHK or 3BHK together. Splitting a bigger flat is almost always cheaper per person than renting a single room alone — the rent split calculator works out a fair division when the rooms are not the same size.

Common questions
How much is a girls PG near Doon University?
₹5,000 to ₹8,500 a month with meals in Kedarpur, and ₹4,500 to ₹8,000 in Ajabpur or Mothrowala. Sharing a room brings it to roughly ₹3,200 to ₹5,000.
Where do most Doon University students live?
Kedarpur if they can get it, Ajabpur Kalan and Khurd otherwise. Mothrowala is the common fallback and is shared with the Graphic Era crowd.
Is a flatshare an option?
Yes, mostly among senior students. A women-only flat split three ways costs about the same as a PG bed with more space and no gate timing — Bunkd's women-only filter is how you find the people for it.
Is Doon University near Graphic Era?
No. Kedarpur and Clement Town are on opposite sides of Dehradun, twenty-five to thirty-five minutes apart. They are separate rental markets.
Is Bunkd free?
Yes, with no brokerage and your number stays private until you share it.
