PG & Rooms Near SGRR University, Dehradun
Shri Guru Ram Rai University sits in Patel Nagar, close to Dehradun's railway station and the SGRR medical college and hospital. That central location makes it one of the easiest campuses in the city to live near — and because the medical college brings residents and interns on shift schedules, the accommodation here works differently from a purely undergraduate belt.
Who lives here
SGRR University students across its medical, paramedical, management and arts faculties, plus hospital residents and interns on clinical rotations.
Campuses in this belt. Shri Guru Ram Rai University, the SGRR Institute of Medical and Health Sciences and its teaching hospital, all clustered around Patel Nagar near the railway station.

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 SGRR 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
The undergraduate intake arrives between June and August. Medical admissions run on a separate and later cycle, and hospital residents rotate through the year — which means single rooms in Patel Nagar open more regularly here than in a purely undergraduate area.
What to check before you pay anything
- If you are a medical resident, confirm the PG allows late entry. Clinical shifts and 10pm gate timings do not mix.
- Ask about the non-veg policy in writing before paying anything.
- Confirm meal timings against your class or duty schedule.
- Patel Nagar is busy and central — ask about noise if you need to study or sleep at odd hours.
- Check winter heating and hot water arrangements.
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 SGRR 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 PG near SGRR University?
A PG bed with meals typically runs ₹5,500 to ₹9,500 a month in Patel Nagar. A private room in a shared flat is ₹5,000 to ₹12,000 depending on whether you stay in Patel Nagar or move toward Dalanwala.
Is Patel Nagar good for medical students?
It is the obvious choice — the college and the teaching hospital are both there. The one thing to confirm is late entry, because clinical rotations do not respect gate timings.
Is SGRR close to the railway station?
Yes, five to fifteen minutes, which is a genuine advantage if you travel home regularly.
Can I find a flatmate on a similar shift schedule?
That is exactly what Bunkd matches on. For a resident on nights, matching sleep schedule matters far more than the rent.
Is there any fee?
No. Bunkd is free with no brokerage.
