4.2
3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
This university is improving placement in the technology field, there are many international MOUs.
Placements: In my course, there is no batch passout. The course starts in 2024, and we are the second batch. This course is basically good for both technical and business fields. Our course is an integrated B.Tech + MBA. At Pondicherry University, the average placement is 6 LPA.
Infrastructure: There is a 24/7 library with Wi-Fi and washroom facilities. Facilities are good at Pondicherry University. For B.Tech + MBA, classrooms are good, it feels like an IIT classroom. In the classroom, there is Wi-Fi, AC, and a projector facility. Hostel facilities are good; in the hostel, a 24/7 guard is present. Water coolers and Wi-Fi are available. For playing sports, there is a stadium here.
Faculty: All faculty members are doctoral degree holders and have extensive knowledge in their field. Faculty members are friendly, and they help with hackathons and many other competitions. For B.Tech + MBA, the curriculum is designed by TCS, and it's good. In the curriculum, we have internship opportunities, and after completing the internship, we get 10 credits. Semester exams are moderate, and many students get 9.5+ CGPA. There is a 75% attendance mandatory requirement.
Other: I chose this course because in B.Tech + MBA, I will get technical and management knowledge, and it's good for the upcoming technology world. In the course, there is no need for improvement, but this college is situated in the South, so there is a language issue for those who don't know English. There are a lot of college fests like Akansha, Holi, Pongal, Onam, etc.

B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering - Batch of 2029
4.2
3Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
Great infrastructure, peaceful environment, diverse exposure, and moderate placement opportunities.
Placements: As we are the 2nd batch in the B.Teach CSE, there is no record of placement. In affiliated colleges, the highest package is 25-30 LPA, and the median package is 6 LPA. Currently, Zoho is visiting our college. For placement, there is no idea which companies will visit, but due to the good location, there is a good chance of visiting companies. Currently, during this time, the 2nd year students are just applying for internships. The top roles that are offered in my college are MBA and Banking Technology. As Computer Science is new, its hive is smaller.
Infrastructure: As Computer Science is new in my college, it is growing. Wi-Fi facilities are good on campus; the campus has its own Wi-Fi, and classrooms and libraries are also 4.5-star rated. Labs are there, but the labs are old. Hostel and mess facilities are very good, and proper medical facilities are also provided by the university.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is not too tough, but they teach linearly. According to me, it's perfect. The semester exams are not too difficult. Mainly, the exams are fixed so that everyone can answer the questions, meaning the paper is between normal and tough. There is a 99% passing percentage. 99% passing percentage.
Other: I opted for this course because its location is good, and there is an environment of study with not too much crowding. The best thing is that we have faculty of a different type. Their teaching style is very different. Monthly events and festivals are always held in our college. The college provides mainly scholarships to the Puducherry students.

2Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money
Good university, great campus life, honest work, hard for placements, but have time to explore.
Placements: B. Tech courses were started 2 years ago, and till now it has not been 4 years, but our university has collaborated with ZOHO Corporation this year, 2026. Like Sridhar Vembu had shared his experience, he will surely recruit and get us internships. M.Tech students are currently going for placements.
Infrastructure: Labs are really good, like internet is available all the time. The internet, and projectors are available in every classroom. We have a central library as well. It contains a variety of books that we can issue for free, but have to return within one month. Food is above average, chicken/paneer is served twice a week. One room is given to three people, but it is big enough, there are two cupboards along with racks. We also have many canteens serving delicious street-style food.
Faculty: Teaching is good. If we pay attention, the teacher will care about us. They do help us in gaining knowledge and exploring lots of things. The course curriculum is relevant, like every other engineering college, but we do have a choice-based credit system (CBCS). Semesters are moderate to easy, till now, everyone has passed in the 1st year except 1. The overall pass percentage of the whole college is 85-90%.
Other: Falling in love with coding made me choose Computer Science and Engineering. I hope they integrate more real-life problems and hackathons. Fests and events do take place a lot at the beginning of semesters, so there is a lot to participate in.

Best campus life, but attendance is an issue, and overall, exams are easy. You can pass easily.
Placements: Placement is good. Basically, if you have potential, you can get a placement from here. The placement ratio is good because it is the second batch, so till now, there is no placement record. Placement will depend on your skills, not on the college. I know college is important, but if you have better skills, you can get the best placement. The course is overall the best because you are getting both B.Tech and MBA, a company-oriented program.
Infrastructure: The course is best because you are getting both B.Tech and an MBA degree from here. Therefore, I think this is the best course. The hostel is the best. You can get 24/7 electricity and good water, but the mess food is sometimes disappointing because the mess food can be so hectic that you are not able to eat it.
Faculty: Examinations are easy, by the way. The faculty is good, but some of the faculty can be hectic. They pressure students for attendance. Some teachers are so good that they will support your startup idea, and the HOD of this department is literally the coolest guy. Most teachers are good, but the main issue is attendance.
Other: Fests are going to happen every other week. You will enjoy every festival. You can see every culture here Tamil, Telugu, Kerala, and people from all over India. Many fests happen every week.

Good among the central universities for B.Tech, and it has good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: Our batch is not the first. The first batch will pass out in 2029, so there is no data on the highest or lowest placements. In MBA, there are placements, although not so good. All companies are local, and the average package is also not good. However, when the B.Tech first batch passes out, placement may be better.
Infrastructure: Hostels are very good, with good facilities and daily cleaning. There is proper 24-hour lighting, and the rooms have three-person sharing. The quality of the mess food is not so good, but we can call it average. There is also a canteen where you can get cold drinks and snacks, as well as sports and games available.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and qualified professors with experience, and the teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is also relevant to the new industry and is very updated with Industry 4.0. The semester exams are also manageable. If you study, you will get good marks.
Other: This course is combined with technology and business systems, so you will gain good knowledge of both domains in one degree. There are not so many events like in B.Tech colleges, but there will be some events held in the open-air theatre.

During the course, students are dissatisfied with teaching & developing skills, and are lacking.
Placements: 40% are applied for placement. Salary package is Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 25,000 in Chennai MGM & Rs. 12,000 in MGMCRI. Everyone will get internships in our esteemed hospital itself. All staff nurse jobs, like various ICUs & wards, and the OPD, are also available. Incentives & esi taken.
Infrastructure: All facilities are available. Qualities are also good. They charge a slightly high amount as a fee for that, but it's not worth it. Only try to take admission for the course, then stay & eat in nearby areas. That can be useful to students. The canteen is available.
Faculty: Few teachers are really helpful, qualified & knowledgeable. Relevant course only. The exam is a little difficult with 70% pass rate in our batch. Slightly tough questions and you won't pass in model exams, and the monthly unit test just gets low marks, even toppers get just a pass.
Other: Parents said to study nursing, that's why I joined and have at last completed the course.
