Extension is a three storey building with 201 rooms. In all there are 398 rooms in Brahmaputra hostel. The hostel is surrounded by teaching and non-teaching staff flats on three sides. The fourth side oversees the jungle which abounds in wild flora and fauna. The hostel is allotted to male research students (M.Phil. and PhD) on seniority basis. The rooms are allotted for single person subject to registration and clearance every six months (for winter and monsoon semesters). Every student is provided with a study table, a chair and a bed. The room has an attached cupboard and book-shelf on one side of the room.

The hostel is built in a manner so as to provide natural light and ventilation to all rooms. Filtered water is dispensed through coolers to meet the drinking water requirement of residents. The bathrooms have running water for 24 hours a day. The hostel mess functions throughout the year and provides healthy food to the residents.
