BLPGA is a ladies-only paying-guest home for female students, running since 2023 near Narula Institute of Technology (NiT) and JIS University.

Both Narula Institute of Technology (NiT) and JIS University at 81 Nilgunj Road are about 650 metres away—roughly a 7-minute walk. A toto/auto stand is within 200 m, and Agarpara Railway Station and B.T. Road are also about 650 m (~7 minutes’ walk) away.

Bed rent starts from Rs 3,000 per month (exact rate depends on Single, Double sharing, Triple sharing, or AC Double sharing—please ask on WhatsApp). Housekeeping starts from Rs 300/month. Every bed space includes a bed (~3 × 6 ft), bed-top study table, 3-layer steel rack, unlimited Wi-Fi (fair use), RO + UV drinking water, 24×7 water, inverter light, and shared western washrooms.

Each room has its own sub-meter. Electricity is charged at Rs 10 per unit based on actual sub-meter readings and billed in the following month.

Security deposit starts from Rs 5,000, paid at joining along with the first month’s charge and housekeeping. The deposit is locked for 11 months and is not refunded if a resident leaves within 11 months. After 11 months, it may be adjusted against the last one or two months’ rent and any balance refunded.

Monthly dues are payable by the 5th of each month. A written request can extend the deadline up to the 10th, never beyond. From 1 December 2026, a late fine of Rs 40 per day applies after the 5th.

Residents must check in within 15 days of paying the security deposit. To vacate, a 30-day notice is required, counted from the 1st of the next month, and rent applies for the notice period.

Yes. Rent is revised every August by 5–10% with reference to the West Bengal Consumer Price Index (CPI).

There is no in-house mess. Residents may cook in the rooftop induction common kitchen (6 AM–10 PM) or subscribe independently to Bhuk Foods home delivery (~Rs 3,500/month for two meals a day).

Residents must return by 9 PM and may not leave before 5 AM unless their parent or guardian has given prior written consent to management.

BLPGA is designed for focused study. Quiet “Library Mode” starts at 10 PM every night. Noise violations carry progressive fines of Rs 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, followed by Executive Committee review.

Men never enter the premises (fathers may drop off or pick up at the gate). Only female family members may visit between 8 AM and 6 PM in common areas, accompanied by the resident, with 24 hours’ prior email notice.

The residence is strictly ladies-only and features CCTV monitoring, monthly-rotating combination smart locks on the gate and rooms, RCCB electrical protection, inverter room lights, and fire extinguishers.

These optional amenities run on monthly subscriptions through the residents’ feedback form. Washing machine use is Rs 25 per wash (max 6.2 kg load incl. bucket, liquid detergent only, sub-meter reading recorded). Fridge electricity is shared by subscribers.

“Once a BLPGA resident, always a Daughter of BLPGA.” Former residents visiting Kolkata may request up to 7 nights free of bed rent (subject to a spare bed), paying only actual electricity via the Coming Home form.
