Use this guide to find the right office or facility before you visit or apply.
Student affairs and advisory support
HSTU groups student-facing support under a few administrative entries in its main navigation:
- Student Affairs – the umbrella section for student-related matters.
- Proctor Office – handles student discipline and campus conduct matters.
- Student Affairs & Advisory Division – advisory support for students.
- Career Advisory Service (CADS) – guidance on career matters.
If your question is about campus rules or conduct, start with the Proctor Office. For general student welfare or advice, the Student Affairs & Advisory Division is the listed entry point. For career-related guidance, use CADS.
Campus facilities
The site lists the following facilities as part of campus life:
| Facility | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Residence on Campus | On-campus student housing |
| Medical Center | Campus medical services |
| Library | Study and reference resources |
| Transport | Campus transport, including posted bus schedules |
| TSC | Student activity center |
| University Club | Club activities |
| IT Cell | IT support for the university |
| ArcHSTU Exhibition | Campus exhibition space |
Transport notices appear on the site's notice board — for example, a special bus schedule was posted for 5 August 2026. Check the Notice Board for current transport arrangements rather than assuming a fixed routine.
Specialized service units
Beyond general student services, HSTU lists several specialized units:
- Veterinary Teaching Hospital – clinical and teaching facility in veterinary science.
- Farmers' Service Centre (FSC) – a service point connected to the university's agricultural work.
- Mobile Veterinary Clinic (MVC) – an outreach veterinary service.
- Institute of Research and Training (IRT) – research and training programs.
- Institutional Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) – quality assurance for academic programs.
- Central Lab – shared laboratory facilities.
- Journal of Science and Technology (JST) – the university's research journal.
These units are most relevant if you are a research student, a veterinary or agriculture student, or a farmer or community member using university outreach services.
Support for international students
HSTU maintains an International Students section in its navigation. The site also records a meeting between the Vice Chancellor and foreign students, which indicates that international student matters are handled at the senior administrative level. If you are an international applicant or current student, begin with the International Students section and expect queries to route through central administration.
