Dr. R.D. Patidar leads OPJU with a bold vision to bridge education and industry through innovation and impact-driven learning.
Since the inception of OPJU in 2014, it has been abundantly clear to us that we have a tremendous opportunity and potential to fully capitalise on our key strengths — location, industrial assets, and the supporting ecosystem — to re-imagine the role that a higher education institution can play in order to truly create a world-class institution with a clear focus.
No other institution is as committed, as focused, or as skilled at executing as OPJU is in achieving its objective of being India’s first and only private university that meets the needs of the nation’s steel and power industries.
We lay emphasis on five core strengths: steel making, manufacturing excellence, steel industry 4.0, steel logistics, and global steel markets. These are embedded across all our educational practices.
In just 8 years, we’ve grown into 3 schools offering 32 UG, PG, and research programmes to over 1800+ students with 100+ full-time faculty.
My Dear Students,
Welcome to this journey of learning, growth, and discovery. Embrace every opportunity, stay curious, work hard, and always believe in yourself.
Good Luck!
