Abstract	Hostel life plays a significant role in shaping students’ health behaviours and academic outcomes, especially among nursing students who face demanding academic and clinical responsibilities. The present study aimed to assess the health status and academic progress of hostellers of the B.Sc. Nursing students at RIMT University, Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab. A quantitative comparative research design was adopted, and data were collected from 30 hostellers using a self-structured rating scale. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Findings revealed that 50% of hostellers had good health status and 50% had average health status, while 76.7% demonstrated good academic progress. The study highlights that although academic performance among hostellers is satisfactory, attention is required to improve their health status through appropriate interventions.
