44% of students in Bangalore stayed in a student residence, which makes it 1 among the options here.

Cheap student accommodation in Bangalore
The cheapest rent reported in Bangalore was $108 a month, against a median of $259. What separates the two is almost always the same three things: sharing a flat rather than renting alone, living one transport zone out from the centre, and signing for a full semester rather than month to month.
Erasmus housing in Bangalore
Erasmus and exchange students in Bangalore face the same problem: a lease that has to start and end with the semester, signed from another country, often without a local guarantor. That is why student residence is the most common answer here rather than a standard rental. The 9 reviews below come from students who did exactly that.
