Founded by the Jindal Education and Welfare Society, OP Jindal University (OPJU) was set up to bring high quality education to its students based on a world class curriculum, the latest teaching methodology and committed faculty members. The multidisciplinary university aims to develop young professionals and future leaders who will not only power growth and development in the state, but also make a mark globally.
At the core of the university's philosophy and approach lies the belief that students learn best when exposed to real world situations and when nurtured through enriching interactions with practitioners and professors. We at OPJU believe that every student has innate potential that can be unlocked through quality teaching and mentorship.
The Institute is fully residential and provides accommodation facilities for all students. The name of the halls, type of accommodation and student strength are listed as follows;

Each individual hall enjoys administrative and financial autonomy and looks after itself. Apart from the Warden and the Assistant Warden, who are appointed by the Institute and serve essentially as advisors, the students play active role in management of their own affairs.
Every hall shall have a Hall Executive Committee (HEC) consisting of elected student representatives. This committee, guided by the wardens, looks after all affairs of the hall administration including mess, finance and personnel.
Maintenance of existing infrastructure involving expertise and funds, such as routine electrical, plumbing, sanitation, carpentry and civil work is best managed from the office of the Chief Warden, although a part of the responsibility can be taken by the individual halls. The office of the Chief Warden shall also have supervisory authority and responsibility to ensure maintenance of safety and hygiene of all residents of halls.
