Finding a student PG
shouldn't feel like a scam.
No aggressive brokers. No deceptive wide-angle photos. No surprise utility rules. 100% verified student accommodations and unified lifestyle services — built by students at IIT Patna.
The Ground Reality
Why finding a PG today is completely broken
According to our survey of outstation students in Kolkata and Patna, over 95% have stayed in PGs, but 62% are forced to rely on word-of-mouth because existing options fail them.
Extortionate Brokerage
Local brokers charge 15 to 30 days of rent just to share a phone number, disappearing the second cash is handed over.
Fake Angles & Lighting
Listing sites show heavily doctored photos. When students reach the city, the actual room is damp, dark, and crammed.
Hidden Utility Traps
Surprise commercial electricity rates, restricted AC/washing machine hours, and fixed meal portions never mentioned upfront.
Deposit Withholding
Over 80% of students report arbitrary security deposit deductions with unorganized landlords with zero recourse.
The TruePG Solution
A verified, student-first accommodation marketplace
We eliminate the middleman completely while holding properties to strict, transparent standards.
Ground-Verified Listings
Real photos clicked on mobile phones under natural lighting. What you see on screen is strictly what you get in reality.
Zero Brokerage Guarantee
Connect directly with property owners. Pay zero commissions. Lock your room with an instant digital token with full paper trail.
All-In-One Lifestyle Hub
100% of surveyed students requested all living services inside one app: healthy tiffin, laundry pickup, and cleaning on demand.
Built at IIT Patna by students who lived through this problem.
TruePG wasn't conceived in a corporate boardroom. It was founded by Priyanshu Gupta (3rd-year BBA student at IIT Patna) after watching fellow students struggle with opaque brokers, deposit disputes, and unverified PGs when moving to new academic cities.
With a background in fintech growth marketing, D2C brand building, and AI automations, we engineered TruePG on cutting-edge serverless edge technology to keep running costs negligible — so we never have to charge extortionate fees to students or hosts.
Direct Voice of Students
Real feedback from our primary student survey
From 21 surveyed outstation students (aged 18–22) in Kolkata, Patna, Jaipur, Chennai, and Delhi.
Photos clicked on mobile phones with real lighting and no extra things! Water and electricity supplies should be clearly mentioned in the app itself so that it won't cause issue after.
The behaviour of the owner and the timings of the facilities provided like washing machine or AC, and most importantly the amount of food whether portion is fixed!
Detail environment and tenant reviews are missing in existing apps. We just need honest, transparent pricing without hidden maintenance surprises.
