It is a nice place to build our career.
Placements: Placements are quite good. My seniors are getting placed in Wabag, Chennai. Some other good companies also hire students. Packages offered are quite good for those who have nice company. For internships, faculty members will give permission to some of the popular institutes and industries.
Infrastructure: Facilities are good. The network connection is quite poor, to be honest. We have library facilities. Our college conducts tournaments every year for all sports. Inter-college matches are available for all sports. The canteen food is below average.
Faculty: Some faculty members are really good, and some of them are not. Semester exams are quite moderate. The course curriculum makes us know about what we have to study in this course within 4 years and gives us a clear idea to go and build our future in the respective fields.

No placement. Friendly faculty members.
Placements: There is no placement after the course completion. We need to find our own jobs. After the completion of the course, you will get a Pondicherry University Certificate. After this course, learn any other skills like GIS, Python, etc. It will be helpful. Experience is required for a high-earning job in this field. Start from the DDMA, and we get a job.
Infrastructure: There is less equipment, and some equipment does not work properly. The department has one smartboard and Wi-Fi connection. There is a common library for the college. The food was average. The mess is contract-based, every year, it changes. Inside, there is a hostel committee and a campus committee, which conduct programmes, etc. There is a small ground in the hostel for throwball, cricket, football, etc.
Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The teachers are so friendly. Everything depends on the teacher's mood and the students' behavior. The syllabus now updated the teachers always try to put something new for students to teach. Everything is helpful, but something is outdated even though it is good.
Other: The students are from different places, so we can be friends with everyone. Soon it will improve language. Know about every culture, including Onam, Vishu, Durga Puja, Ganesh Chaturthi, and Diwali. There is a celebration and Anekaragam, it's so good, it's a programme conducted in this university. The campus is small, but it's good.

It's a decent university.
Placements: The placements are very average. On average, only 4-5 students get placed. The package for the placed students is pretty decent. It's mainly up to the students. Their level of understanding of the course and how up-to-date they are plays a major role.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is decent. Some lab equipment needs to be upgraded. The classrooms are spacious and neat. There is a dispensary within the campus grounds with a nurse and a doctor always on call during working hours. The library has a good collection of books that can be used for reference. The sports and games area is also decent.
Faculty: The faculty members are the best. They are all very well qualified and have a deep understanding of their respective subjects of expertise. The curriculum is good, but it doesn't compare to the NEP curriculum. It, however, does do the job and makes the student industry-ready as long as the student puts in the effort to understand the subjects in the course. The semester exam questions feel fair enough.
