PG & Rooms Near Doon Business School, Dehradun
Updated 30 Sep 2026
Doon Business School, now DBS Global University, is at M-122, behind Pharma City, in Selaqui. A different DBS, Dehradun's DBS PG College, is in the middle of the city, and the two are constantly confused, so check which one you mean before looking at rooms. The business school's setting is the Selaqui industrial area, west of the city on Chakrata Road, and that gives its market an unusual mix: MBA and BBA students sharing a rental pool with pharma-plant staff, technicians and contract workers who need rooms near their shifts.
Who lives here
MBA, PGDM and BBA students, many of them mid-twenties and preparing for placement, alongside factory and lab employees and interns from the Selaqui industrial estate.
What sustains the rental market. Doon Business School, ICFAI University and Tula's Institute in the same Selaqui belt, along with the pharmaceutical and manufacturing units of the industrial estate. The estate matters more than the campuses for room supply: working tenants keep small buildings occupied all year, which is why some landlords here prefer a full-year tenant to a student who leaves in May.
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 lanes around the industrial estate carry the most working-tenant stock: shared rooms, small flats and a few purpose-built PG blocks. Landlords are used to shift workers, so flexibility on late entry is common.
₹3,500 – ₹8,000 / month for a private room
The small commercial centre. More shops, more food options and better transport than the plant lanes, and the natural pick if you want to be near a chemist and a bank.
₹3,500 – ₹7,500 / month for a private room
A proper small town a little further along, with a bigger market and cheaper rooms. Ride in is a bit longer, but you have far more choice of landlord.
₹3,000 – ₹6,500 / month for a private room
On the approach road from the city, with organised student PGs and regular transport. Some branded operators list single sharing at ₹7,000 to ₹13,000 in Sudhowala, so it costs more but is closer to Dehradun's internships and interview circuit.
₹5,000 – ₹13,000 / month for a private room

What it actually costs per month in Doon Business School (DBS Global University)

Uttarakhand deposits are the gentlest of anywhere Bunkd operates — one to two months is normal and many PG owners ask for one. 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 Business School (DBS Global 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
Business-school admissions run from spring to late summer, and MBA batches often start in July or August. The complication is that placement season starts within months. Students then move, leave the area or start internships, which frees rooms in the middle of the academic year. The industrial estate also hires in waves, so rents rise slightly when a large plant recruits. Ask early in June and again in January.
What to check before you pay anything
- Check which Doon Business School you mean. Some directories list an unrelated institute with a similar name in another city, and DBS PG College in Dehradun is a different institution entirely.
- Ask whether the room is let to workers on shifts. Night-shift neighbours can mean noise at odd hours.
- Ask how the landlord handles a mid-year departure, since MBA students often leave for internships. A one-month notice is fair.
- See the lane in the evening. Industrial-estate roads can be quiet and poorly lit after the plants close.
- Ask about drinking water. Estate-side areas sometimes have hard or poor borewell water, and a purifier should be in the rent or negotiated.
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 Business School (DBS Global 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
Where is Doon Business School in Dehradun?
The Dehradun campus of Doon Business School (DBS Global University) is at M-122, behind Pharma City, Selaqui, Dehradun 248011, on the western Chakrata Road side of the city. It is not the same as DBS PG College, which is in central Dehradun.
How much is a PG near Doon Business School?
Expect roughly ₹4,000 to ₹8,000 for a PG bed near Selaqui, more if you choose Sudhowala or a furnished flat. Listings in the Selaqui area are thin, so the honest answer is a range and it pays to ask seniors.
Do MBA students usually live in a hostel?
Many do, especially in the first year, but the university's hostel capacity is not the only option. Others take a shared room in Selaqui or Sahaspur once they have a group of friends, and some rent in Sudhowala for a better commute to the city.
Is Selaqui good for internships?
If your internship is at one of the industrial-estate companies, yes, and you can walk. For anything in Dehradun city the commute is long, so consider a room in Sudhowala or Prem Nagar.
Is Bunkd free?
Yes. It costs nothing, takes no brokerage and only shows phone-verified profiles. You can match with another Doon Business School student and chat before either of you pays a landlord anything.
