What Students Say

Likes

Scholarships were available to students who scored first few ranks in the entrance exams, which were a great deal of help to them also, there are internships available through our mentors which is of great help.
Faculty are very good they teach well and they are very experienced with experience of 20 years, and fests happens every month and facilities are very good here like gym gardens library etc and place is very good
There are so many clubs like dance club, science club, maths club, etc and main beauty of the campus are very green and freedom of entry and exit anytime.

Dislikes

Firstly conduction of the entrance was very poor by nta.
At last the canteens. the foods of the canteens are ok but sometimes it too worst
I had a plan to do phd too but due to the academic stress and low facilities that this university is providing, i started to lose my interest on the subject.

Life in Pondicherry University as a PG Student

Library with ample amount of books and good infrastructure

Dislikes

Campus is so big and we have to walk longer if we have to go somewhere
Connectivity to railway stations and bus stands are difficult
Buses inside campus won’t be available during non working days

Course Curriculum Overview:

I don't have any particular reason to choose this course since I took BTech food technology in my UG I want to pursue something which is related to nutrition. So when I did research online regarding the institutions that were available in India, which has good ranking, I came to know about Pondicherry University and I choose this.
