Akshar Purushottam student hostels, widely known as APCs (Akshar Purushottam Chhatralays), are not only a paradise for the students but also pilgrimage centres because of the happy union of culture, education and modern amenities provided in these hostels.

Each APC has a spacious Reading Room and Library. Students receive rich and valuable guidance from teachers and professors who offer free service to the Coaching Centres conducted by the hostels.

Computer Education classes are also conducted by the hostels. Besides educational activities, the students' all-round personality development is also taken care of by arranging extra-curricular activities like Dialogues, Debates, Quiz, Folk Dances, Dramas and Spiritual songs. An Annual Sports Competition is also arranged. Moreover, by arranging International Youth Festivals from time to time, BAPS helps to develop the character of all the students. These students participate in a village to village contact campaign, with the aim of creating a healthy, vice-free society.

Experienced and educated sadhus of the Sanstha provide moral and personal support to each student. These sadhus remain in personal contact with each student and take care of their moral uplift, education and development of excellent character, as well as providing parental love and affection to each student.
