Residence life is an important aspect of the educational experience. SILB offers separate hostels for boys and girls with furnished rooms (except linen) and other facilities including common room, TV lounge, reading room, ironing room, indoor games. There are internet facilities for the residents. Medical facility by way of resident visits of a doctor in the hostels is also available.

Hostel accommodation will be allotted only on the production of ID card and hostel fee receipt. As far as possible, the wardens try to accommodate the candidates with the room mate of the same batch. However, it may not be possible to do so in all cases at the time of admission. Also, certain hostel and room types are in greater demand and senior students have priority in the allotment of rooms. Provision of hostel accommodation to the admitted students is subject to availability of rooms and allotment will be made on first come first serve basis. In case of non-availability of rooms, candidates must make their own alternate arrangements.
