Entrance Preview
I took AIEEE in 2009 and my State Rank was 800.OPJIT was the new college around that time and was purely Industry Oriented and an initiative by Mr. Naveen Jindal, and i was very much keen to take admission in such a college where training and placements would take place at good industries.I wanted Mechanical Engineering and it was available at ease with my rank at such high profile college.
Course Curriculum Overview
As far as Mechanical is concerned Course Curriculum was nearly the same as it would have been in any IIT or NIT.Elective subjects such as Power Plant Engineering, Artificial Intelligence were there to choose fromWith 20 laboratories having more than 30 kinds of major equipment, the department is one of the most innovation-driven departments in the state. The highlights of this infrastructure include equipment and software like Scorbot-ER 9 Robot, CNC lathe machine, CNC milling machine, wind tunnel, Lab View and ANSYS. A Centre for Excellence in Robotics has been established to enable students to learn about and excel in this new and growing field. Additionally, an MoU has been signed with Indo-German Institute of Advanced Technology, Vishakhapatnam, to provide employment oriented training to students. For students aspiring to sit for the GATE exam, the department organises a mock test to help them prepare.
Internships Opportunities
As far as internship was concerned we were not offered internship from college campus, we had to find it by ourselves.As the internship was not offered by college, so the question of stipend also doesn't arise.As part of JSPL industrial group we were offered 1 month summer training in 4th & 6th semester at JSPL & JPL group of industries
Placement Experience
Placement i really good as this college is driven by Jindal ConglomertaeDuring 2013 there was 70% placement as most of the students went for higher studies.The major companies that came to recruit were JSPL, JSW, Nuerth, DCPL, IGATE, IBM.
College Events
TECHNOROLLIX is the annual technical and cultural festival of the college. About 10000+ students from colleges around India come here every year in February to celebrate and enjoy by winning the cash prizes in this festival.Apart from these there are National & International Level conferences being held form time to time
Fee Structure And Facilities
Fee structure is quite feasible for a medium scale earning family.College fees with all the expenses excluding the hostel fees comes around to be 40000 per semesterIncluding the hostel fess it would be around 70000 per semester with all the mess & recreation facilities being included.
Fees and Financial Aid
I didn't avail any Loan facility for the fees. However there are some offered by ICICI & Punjab National Bank.Regarding the scholarships, yes there are scholarships for meritorious students per year upto RS. 30000. Also OPJEMS is a prestigious program held every year by Jindal Conglomerate where one individual from each year gets a scholarship of Rs.65000 depending on how he/she performs in the preliminary test conducted at the national level.
Campus Life
In my opinion campus life is really good and fine to live your 4 years. The environment of the college campus will give you a feel of IIT although its only a 100 acre campus but the facilities are really on top.There is no racism in the college in terms of gender, sexual orientation and religion and the college is really serious on these issues as the college involves the name of MP Mr. Naveen Jindal.Labs, Sports, Competitions are all good to go with. Every 2 months you will find a sport/recreation activity being carried out may it be Lawn Tennis, Football, Badminton, Squash, TT, Cricket, Chess, Carrom or Annual Athletics Championship.
Hostel Facilities
Firstly No shortage of hostel rooms are there. Hostel life is pretty much good. The infrastructure of hostel is really very cool. The rooms are very very spacious and its shared by 3 persons in case of boys and two persons in case of girls.Within the rooms there are bed with mattresses and almirahs and table with drawers per individual. A common TV & games room is there in every floor. Mess food can be good and can be bad sometimes. But there's no problem good restaurants are also available outside the college and you can go there and have food till 10 PM in the night.
Alumni/Alumna
College seniors are always helpful may it be during the college time or even after the college is over. Today also we are in touch with our seniors and they are always friendly and good to hang out with whenever the time permits us
Exam Structure
Exam structure is very fine and the pace is very easy to handle. No hectic schedules are there. Appropriate gaps is provided in between the papers and practical exams
Faculty
Highly qualified faculties are there for all the branches.People being qualified with Phd's from foreign universities are there to guide you all the time. Also the Assoc. Professors and Asst. Professors are highly qualified and are loaded with tonnes of Industry experience.
