PG & Rooms Near Tula's Institute, Dehradun
Updated 30 Sep 2026
Tula's Institute is not in Clement Town, whatever a map pin might suggest. Its campus is at Dhoolkot, Post Office Selaqui, on Chakrata Road, well west of the city and on the same industrial-and-educational stretch as ICFAI and the Selaqui pharma area. Its own website lists six hostels, four for men and two for women, and for most students that is the answer. The private-room market outside is small, rural in character, and made up of village houses and a few new blocks rather than dedicated PG streets.
Who lives here
BTech, MBA, pharmacy and diploma students. Most first years take a hostel bed. Those who rent outside are usually seniors sharing a room, students whose families could not get a seat, or people working at Selaqui factories.
What is nearby. Tula's Institute, Doon Business School and ICFAI University in the wider Selaqui area, and the Selaqui industrial estate with its pharma units. Dev Bhoomi and Himgiri Zee lie in the same general western belt.
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 village the campus is named for. A limited stock of rooms let by local families, walkable in some lanes, with a couple of small shops and not much else. Fills first and has almost no formal PGs.
₹3,000 – ₹6,500 / month for a private room
The industrial and institutional cluster a few minutes away. More rooms, a small market, and a tenant base of factory and office workers alongside students. It is the most practical base if you need a scooter-free life.
₹3,500 – ₹7,500 / month for a private room
Further along the same road, a proper small town with a market, bus connections toward Vikasnagar and a wider choice of rooms. You accept a longer ride to campus in return for shops that stay open.
₹3,000 – ₹6,500 / month for a private room
Closer to the city on the way in. Newer PG buildings with student-focused operators, and one branded operator lists single sharing here at ₹7,000 to ₹13,000, so this is the dearest option and the easiest for commuting to the city.
₹6,000 – ₹13,000 / month for a private room

What it actually costs per month in Tula's Institute
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 Tula's Institute.
| What you pay | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Room rent (private, shared flat) | ₹3,000 – ₹8,000 |
| Deposit (one-off) | ₹3,000 – ₹8,000 (1 month typical) |
| Maintenance & utilities | ₹400 – ₹1,000 |
| Food | ₹3,000 – ₹4,500 if self-catering; PG meals often included |
| Local transport | ₹300 – ₹1,500 |
| Realistic monthly total | ₹6,000 – ₹13,500 |
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 Tula's Institute 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
Engineering and management intakes land in July and August, and hostel allotments follow soon after. Students who are turned down for a bed start ringing round in the first week of the session, and the few rooms around Dhoolkot go quickly. Off-campus tenants tend to move in for the second year, once they have friends to share with, so April and May is the time to arrange it. Rooms free up again when final-year students leave in June.
What to check before you pay anything
- Ask what the hostel costs before deciding to rent outside; at this distance the hostel is often cheaper than a room plus transport and a tiffin.
- Find out how you will return from a late lab or event. Chakrata Road has few late transport options.
- Check the water and power arrangement. Village houses often rely on a borewell and outages are more frequent than in the city.
- Ask about mobile signal and broadband. Coverage in the lanes behind the highway can be patchy.
- Confirm if the landlord expects the whole year's rent or agrees to a semester. Local owners are often flexible if asked politely.
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 Tula's Institute 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 Tula's Institute Dehradun?
At Dhoolkot, Post Office Selaqui, on Chakrata Road, Dehradun. It is on the western side of the city, not in the Clement Town or Bell Road area, and it takes well over an hour to reach the city centre by public transport.
Is there a PG near Tula's Institute?
A few, mostly toward Selaqui and Sahaspur, but not on the scale of Bell Road. The college lists four hostels for men and two for women, and most students use them. PG rents tend to be about ₹4,000 to ₹8,000 a month.
Is it cheaper to rent outside or take the hostel?
Often the hostel, once you count meals, a scooter and fuel. Renting outside pays off if you share a room and cook, or if your family cannot get you a hostel seat.
Can girls live outside the hostel here?
It is possible but the area is sparse and dark in places. Girls' hostels exist on campus, and for most parents that settles it. If renting, prefer a house where the landlord lives on site and ask seniors about the lane at night before paying.
Is Bunkd free?
Yes. No fee, no brokerage and phone-verified profiles, so you can meet a flatmate before you rent anything. Bunkd never asks for a deposit or a listing fee, and you only pay the landlord directly.
