Official Visit Guide · Jaipur
Ask anyone in Malviya Nagar for directions and OTS will come up as a landmark. The junction is still called OTS crossroad, even though the institute changed its name twice. The campus itself sits on a large green stretch of Malviya Nagar with a hill behind it, and it has been training Rajasthan's officers from that address since 1966.
If you are travelling to Jaipur because of it, whether to attend a course, to teach on one, to visit a family member who is in training, or to report for official verification, you need a room close by. Royal City Guest House at 8/270 Jawahar Circle, Malviya Nagar is roughly 3 km from the campus, about ten minutes by auto and entirely within the same neighbourhood. AC rooms from ₹999 a night, food on site, free parking, a GST invoice for your TA claim, and weekly rates if the programme runs long.
Call or WhatsApp with your dates. Mention if you need a GST invoice for an official claim.
The naming confuses first-time visitors, so here is the short history. The Officers Training School moved from Jodhpur to Jaipur in 1963 and worked out of a temporary building until 1966, when it shifted into a purpose-built structure in Malviya Nagar called Patel Bhawan. In 1969 it was renamed the Harish Chandra Mathur State Institute of Public Administration, and in April 1983 it became HCM RIPA, the Harish Chandra Mathur Rajasthan State Institute of Public Administration.
The name on the letterhead changed. The name on the road did not. Autos, cabs and local residents still call the junction OTS, so if you are giving directions, saying OTS will get you there faster than saying HCM RIPA. The campus runs across a large area with the Jhalana hills behind it, so give your driver the gate number if your call letter mentions one.
The institute runs induction training for Rajasthan Administrative Service officers and a wide range of shorter courses for state government departments through the year. The campus has its own dormitory and hostel capacity, and it works well, but it fills during large batches and it is allotted rather than booked at will. Officers who are not allotted a room, or who prefer to stay outside, need something nearby. That is most of what we get asked for.
Sessions are regularly taken by outside experts, retired officers, subject specialists and academics from other cities. If you are coming in for two days to take a module, a quiet room ten minutes from the campus with breakfast before your morning session is more useful than a business hotel across the city.
Induction training runs for months and trainees do not always get home. Parents, spouses and children come to Jaipur for a weekend visit. The campus is not a place for family to stay, so a family room nearby is the practical answer. Ours is from ₹1,399 a night with multiple beds.
Government recruitment in Rajasthan involves stages after the written exam: document verification, medical examination, counselling and joining. Many of these happen at Jaipur offices, several in this same part of the city. If you are reporting in the morning with a folder of originals and a dress code, staying the night before in Malviya Nagar is the low-risk plan. We cover the exam-and-interview trip in more detail in our exam centre stay guide.
Official travel means a claim, and a claim means a bill that will pass scrutiny. Tell the front desk at check-in that this is official travel, give the department or company name, address and GSTIN, and a GST invoice is prepared for checkout. Ask at check-in, not on your way out, because a bill made out incorrectly costs you a second trip or a rejected claim.
Training programmes start early. The on-site restaurant serves home-style Indian food through the day, meals from around ₹80, and can serve breakfast early if you tell the desk the night before. Ten minutes by auto to the campus after that is comfortable timing for a 9 or 9:30 AM start.
Some programmes run two weeks, some run longer, and a nightly rate is the wrong structure for that. Weekly and monthly rates are available with no large deposit and no lease paperwork. If your family is joining you for part of a long training period, tell us and we will work out the room and the rate together.
Officers travelling from other districts often drive in or come with a government vehicle and driver. Parking is free and on-site for cars and two-wheelers, and the driver can leave the vehicle overnight without a charge.
Our lane at Jawahar Circle is set back from the main road. Rooms are AC with private bathroom and hot water, TV, free WiFi and daily housekeeping. If you have reading to do for the next day's session, ask for a room on the quieter side.
Malviya Nagar puts a lot within a short ride, which helps when an official visit picks up extra work.

Officers Training School. It moved into Patel Bhawan in Malviya Nagar in 1966, became HCMSIPA in 1969 and HCM RIPA in 1983. Locals still call the junction OTS crossroad, so it is the fastest name to give a driver.
