O.P. Jindal University

Overview

The Diploma in Metallurgical Engineering program provides foundational knowledge and practical skills in metallurgy and materials engineering, covering metal extraction, processing, and applications, to prepare students for careers in industries like manufacturing, research, and quality control. The program emphasizes modern metallurgical processes, materials characterization techniques, and the development of problem-solving abilities to address real-world engineering challenges. Graduates of this diploma are well-prepared to assist engineers, contribute to material selection and testing, and support innovations in metal fabrication and engineering applications.

Eligibility

At least pass in class X with Maths and Science subjects from recognized Board.

Admission Process

Apply (Online/Offline) for the programs at OPJU School of Engineering, School of Management, and School of Science.
Application should be accompanied by a non-refundable application fee of Rs. 1000 for Diploma, Undergraduate, and Postgraduate Programs, and Rs. 3000 for the Doctoral Program. The fee is payable online (Internet Banking, Credit/Debit Card) or via DD/Bank Transfer.
A merit list will be announced for eligible candidates in each round. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for counselling. Upon fulfillment of requisite conditions, eligibility, and document verification, a provisional admission offer letter will be issued. The candidate must deposit the fee within the stipulated date.
A One Time Deposit (OTD) of Rs. 10,000 is to be paid (for all courses) within the time mentioned in the offer letter. This amount will be adjusted toward the enrollment fee upon confirmation of admission. In case of cancellation by the student, the OTD is non-refundable.
If the candidate fails to pay the full fee by the stipulated date, the admission will be deemed cancelled and the seat will be offered in the next round of counselling.
There will be three rounds of counselling. Any unfilled seats after that will be filled on the basis of rolling counselling (first come, first serve).
The university reserves the right to cancel admission at any stage of the process without prior notice if the candidate does not meet the minimum eligibility criteria for the chosen program.
