PG in Ahmedabad for Students: Navrangpura, Thaltej, Bopal, Satellite

Looking for a PG in Ahmedabad as a student? Start with Navrangpura: it is near Gujarat University, it has the most choice with 76 PG listings on LSC Smart Living as of November 2026, and rooms there start from about ₹3,000 a month. Thaltej, Bopal and Satellite are the other areas worth knowing, and this guide explains who each one suits and what to check before you pay.

Who Ahmedabad suits

Ahmedabad is a big student city, with Gujarat University and many colleges drawing students from across Gujarat and beyond. It also suits young professionals and interns, especially those working along SG Highway.

There are 488 PG listings in Ahmedabad on LSC Smart Living as of November 2026. The rents below are the lowest listed rent in each area, so read them as a starting point, not as what every room costs. All four areas in this guide are on the western side of the city, so they work well together as one shortlist.

The four areas, one by one

Navrangpura: for students near Gujarat University

Navrangpura has 76 PG listings, from about ₹3,000 a month, the most listings and the lowest starting rent of the four areas here. It is near Gujarat University and CG Road, so it suits students who want to be close to campus and to the shops and food of CG Road. It is a central, busy area, so ask for a room away from the main road if you need quiet to study.

Good for: undergraduates and anyone whose day revolves around Gujarat University.

Thaltej: for the SG Highway side

Thaltej has 40 PG listings, from about ₹5,500 a month. It is near SG Highway, so it suits working professionals, interns and postgraduate students whose office or campus is on that side of the city. Its starting rent is the highest of the four, so compare it with Bopal before you decide.

Good for: interns and young professionals working along SG Highway.

Bopal: a growing suburb on the western edge

Bopal has 39 PG listings, from about ₹5,000 a month. It sits on the western edge of the city, also on the SG Highway side, and suits people who want a newer, more suburban area and do not need to be in the centre every day.

Good for: students and professionals who prefer a suburban feel to a busy central street.

Satellite: settled and in between

Satellite has 33 PG listings, from about ₹4,500 a month. It is a well-established residential area in western Ahmedabad, and suits students and working people who want a settled neighbourhood at a starting rent between Navrangpura’s and Thaltej’s.

Good for: anyone who wants a calmer residential base without going all the way to the edge of the city.

A simple rule: if your day revolves around Gujarat University, start in Navrangpura. If it revolves around SG Highway, start in Thaltej or Bopal.

What to check on a visit

A room that looks fine in photos can be hard to study in. Take this list with you:

• Study space. Check for a table, a chair, good light and a plug point, not just a bed.
• Quiet hours. Ask about the house rules on noise and guests, especially around exam time.
• Cooling. Ahmedabad summers are very hot, so ask whether the room has AC or a cooler, and whether its electricity is billed on top.
• Water and washroom. Run the taps and the geyser, and check how clean the shared areas are.
• Food. If meals are included, ask what a normal day’s menu looks like, whether the kitchen is vegetarian only if that matters to you, and try a meal if you can.
• Rules and deposit. Ask about gate timing, the notice period and how the deposit is refunded, and get the answers in writing.
• A resident’s view. A student already living there will tell you how the place really runs.

If this is your first PG, our PG rent agreement checklist explains what to put in writing before you pay.

Plan your commute before you pay

Try the trip from the PG to your college or office at the time of day you would really travel, not on a quiet Sunday. Check the walk from the PG to the main road after dark, and whether autos are easy to find nearby.

If you have early classes or long library hours, a room a little closer to campus can be worth a slightly higher rent. And if your course and your internship are in different parts of the city, choose the area that serves the one you go to most often.
