Welcome to the Hostels of OP Jindal University
At OP Jindal University, we understand that a comfortable and supportive living environment is crucial for your academic success and personal well-being. As the Chief Warden, it is my privilege to introduce you to our hostel facilities, which are designed to cater to the diverse needs of our students.

While maintenance of infrastructure like electrical, plumbing, and sanitation is managed by the Chief Warden’s office, individual halls can take on certain responsibilities. The Chief Warden’s office also ensures safety, hygiene, and the overall well-being of all residents.
The guiding principles of Hall Administration are:
Foster a spirit of brotherhood, bridging differences in home state, academic program, and cultural preferences.
Promote coexistence, cooperation, and mutual trust among hall residents.
Uphold discipline to create a positive academic and social environment.
Provide opportunities for students to develop managerial skills through hall management autonomy.

Ambulance services are available 24/7, and the hostel administration will assist the patient until the arrival of their parents.
The university operates separate mess facilities for Boys and Girls Hostels, ensuring tailored dining experiences for each. Each mess is managed by an authorized mess committee, composed of active student members from various academic programs. The committee plays a crucial role in overseeing the daily operations, deciding the menu, and ensuring that the mess maintains high standards of quality, hygiene, and cleanliness.
The mess committee regularly consults with hostel residents to gather suggestions and feedback, which are incorporated into the monthly menu. At the start of each academic year, the mess rules are reviewed and finalized during a meeting between the mess committees and the wardens, ensuring that all guidelines are clearly established for the smooth operation of the mess throughout the session.
