Oriental University is a state private university in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, established in 2011 by the Devi Shakuntala Thakral Charitable Foundation. It is the university-stage development of the Oriental Group, whose higher-education activity in central India dates to 1995. The university is located on Sanwer Road and became the first private university established in Indore. The academic portfolio includes engineering, agriculture, commerce, computer applications, education, law, library and information science, management, media studies, pharmacy, sciences and other professional disciplines. This mix reflects the Oriental Group's longer history in technical and professional education while allowing the university to support general and multidisciplinary study. Undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral pathways operate within the university structure. Oriental University obtained recognition under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act from its early university phase. Its educational approach combines formal degree study with laboratories, projects, professional training, research and career preparation. The wider Oriental network in Bhopal, Indore and Jabalpur provides an institutional background that predates the university. The Indore campus therefore represents both continuity and expansion: continuity with the group's technical-education experience since 1995, and expansion into a multidisciplinary degree-granting university with schools covering professional, scientific, business and humanities-oriented fields.
