The fire originated at room No. 806 of the residential hall's Pradeepto block for female students around 9:15 pm on Tuesday, according to Provost Shamim Banu.
The students were evacuated as the fire spread to a number of rooms, she said.
Two units of the Fire Service and Civil Defence have brought the fire under complete control, Dewan Azad, duty officer at Fire Service and Civil Defence, said at 9:45 pm.
There were no casualties in the incident, he added.
