SHEET KUMAR's Review On OP Jindal University - [OPJU], Raigarh

The name itself will make you think that it must be an industry connected University. This is India's first steel university. The best branch here is metallurgy. I chose the college for its name itself, If you want metallurgy as your branch,i would say go for it, but for other branches,explore other options.

Syllabus was well enough and well planned with all the advanced technologies in it. But we didn't have an experienced team of faculty members, experienced in those technology to keep us updated. So I felt a bit cheated for that. Other than that, we were taken for industrial visits to see the working of an ERPs. We were given workshops on a regular basis to keep us updated.

After 2nd year i did internship at KATM Technologies (Intern) on a stipend of 14000, after 3rd year i did my internship at pratham softwares pvt. Ltd. Where i didn't get any stipend.

Most of the companies that came to the campus were either startup or a jindal venture.There is no alumni support and the placement cell will help you prepare well for job interviews that will help you crack interviews in open campus drives. Most of my batchmates got job through pool campus drives only.This is the area where the college needs to improve the most. Student get there job on their own calibre and by going to pool drives. Entrepreneur cell organises events to get the entrepreneur minds but then there is no support ahead.

We have two events annually. Technorollix and JUnoon. Technorollix is held in February and Junoon in october. We have all the technical and managerial events in technorollix where students from all over chhattisgarh participate. It is a 3 day fest in which every events holds exciting amounts of winning prizes. We had cultural nights on all the 3 nights. JUnoon is mainly celebrity night. In the recent Junoon Shirley Setia and Jubin Nautiyal was at our campus as well as famous DJs djNYk and olly esse were there too.

It gives scholarship to almost every student. If you have scored more than 60% in your 12 th you are eligible for some or the other scholarship.If your score ranges from 60-70%,you will get a 15000 scholarship.If it ranges from 70-80% you will get an scholarship of 25000. If it ranges from 80-90% you will get 40,000 and if you got more than 90%,you will get an scholarship of 75000

Although the university is not located in the midst of fascinating town to enjoy but it is surrounded by nature and factories. You will find the small campus attractive because of its greenery and its never seen designs of academic building. We had almost all grounds and resources for sports and university team participates in AIU games. You will get 1 gb on wifi per day for your use. Library is filled with almost all the books of your need and you will never need to buy any book for you courses. Library has a seating capacity of around 200 students. All the labs are well equipped with the latest Technologies and technicians.

Hostel is the best part of this college with beautiful rooms and 24 hours supply of electricity. It has all the facilities needed for a student including mess, barber, laudary, Table tennis room and Pool table. We have a common TV room too.
