Hostel Management

Define residential infrastructure, room capacities, and track student occupancy securely.

1. Infrastructure Setup

Build the physical blueprint of your residential system.

Hostels (Blocks): Go to Manage Hostels. Add the main building entity (e.g., 'Cauvery Block') and designate its target demographic (`Boys`, `Girls`, `Combined`).
Room Types: Go to Room Types. Define the categories of housing (e.g., 'Non-AC Double', 'AC Single'). This classification usually dictates the boarding fee.
Manage Rooms: Go to Manage Rooms. Combine the Block and Type to create a specific room (e.g., 'Room 101'). Crucial Step: You must accurately define the `Bed Capacity` here.

Cascading Deletion Blocks: The `HostelRoomController` will aggressively block the deletion of any Room if it contains allocated students. Furthermore, the `HostelController` will block the deletion of an entire Hostel Block if it still contains defined Rooms.

2. Room Allocations

Assigning students to beds.

Go to Hostel > Allocations.
Select the target Student (Class > Section), then the Target Hostel > Room.
Capacity Enforcement: The system automatically tracks the number of `allocations` attached to a specific `HostelRoom`. If the allocation count reaches the maximum `Bed Capacity` defined in Step 1, the UI will block further student assignments into that specific room.
