In the academic year 2018–19, the institute increased its intake capacity from 60 to 120 students. Since the institute operates from a temporary campus, it failed to arrange hostels for the students, and there were 111 students. Due to a lack of accommodation, 12 students were forced to leave the institute, and the strength of the 4th batch decreased from 111 to 99. The institute director, Mahadeo Jaiswal, alleged that the Government of Odisha had allotted three hostel buildings. Still, Sambalpur University provided only two after the Memorandum of Understanding was signed.[23][24][25]
