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.

Knowledge and memories gaining hub - pondicherry University

Likes

The freedom the college gives you in attending classes .Though attendance is mandatory the classes timing is scheduled in such a way that the students will not face any issue in attending those classes.
The way the staffs and students interaction is made easy and comfortable. If u have any doubts regarding any aspect of the course u can feel free to ask the staffs any time amd they are ready to help anytime
Placement oppurtunities and other international conference oppurtunities offered that enhances our exposure.

Dislikes

Keeping classes even during rain holidays , since it is a central university, when they declare holiday for local schools and colleges the leave dont apply to this university and unless it is uploaded in the website.
The vast campus needs at least 10 buses to accommodate the transport necessities of the students but there are only 2 to 3 busses in functioning
The roads in the university are pretty damaged

Student Snaps:

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is designed in such a way that it will help the student in clearing further higher level competitive exams and thus the oppurtunities of settling in a good institute after the completion of the course is highly positive and the knowledge that the course curriculum offers is good

The good and the bad about Pondicherry University

Freedom in doing what you want with less restrictions
The library is a good place to study and do your assignments

Dislikes

The infrastructure is lacking with wifi speeds being low and roads being full of holes
The accessibility is not good since there are no direct flights or trains from major parts of india
Mess food is tolerable on most days and lacks the taste and hygiene

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible to sit for placements in the 4th semester during December when the placement drive starts. Most of the major travel agencies like Thomas cook, make my trip, etc come for the drive. The university boasts about 70% of the students are placed. The package ranges from 3,00,000 to 6,00,000 p.a. the average package is around 3.5 lakhs. My plans are to get placed in a reputed company.

I choose this course because it was domain to study these subjects. Here professors are not that qualified for this course which is why we are not prepared much. More qualified professors are required for some specific subjects like machine learning, design algorithm,.python etc.
