Hello Aspirant,
Hope you are doing great. No, staying in the hostels at both private and public colleges is not required. For those who don't have a place to stay close by or who don't want to stay outside, a hostel is available. When a student enrolls in college, they are typically given a hostel facility.
ALL THE BEST
