Pondicherry University with only vibe.

Placements: Very few students get placed through the cell. The university seems to be more interested in selling placement services than actually getting students placed. And the packages offered to students are very low. In my course, there was no placement at all.

Infrastructure: The new block for the department of management studies is already built, but the students are still in the old SJ building. The Wi-Fi connection is too poor, and the classrooms are not wide enough. The library is not open 24 hours, and the hostels and mess food are not good. The medical facility is also very poor.

Faculty: The syllabus and course structure are outdated. A student with the right caliber can teach themselves the material. The entire syllabus is a rehash of what we studied in the past 15 years. There's nothing new. The semester exams are not difficult. They're too easy for someone who knows the subject. The teachers dislike it when we question them.

Other: I chose this course because I wanted to learn more about the subject and to secure a bright future. However, I wish the university would improve the hostel and medical facilities, and provide a good syllabus.

My life at Pondicherry University.

Placements: In my course, M.A. History, there is no placement at Pondicherry University, other commerce and science subjects only have placement. My department did not provide any internships, we did not have an internship program. Nobody got placements in our department.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities available in the history department are average because we have a total of five batch students, integrated students, and M.A. students. The Wi-Fi connection is poor in the department, but the classroom is so good, and we also have audio and video to use while studying. There is also a library for social science students near the department. The mess food is so poor, and the canteen food is not bad, but also not good. The hostel is neat and clean all the time.

Faculty: The teaching quality is so poor because the teacher or professor is getting too old, they can only make low grades, and they quietly board when studying. Only 2 or 3 faculty members are good. The course curriculum is relevant, and it also makes the students read, but the syllabus is narrow; it contains only a few topics. The semester exam is not difficult, it is too easy. The passing mark is 40 out of 100.

Other: I chose the course because I took an undergraduate degree in history, and I want to become an assistant professor. There is nothing special about history, it also helps to study for the UPSC exam. I mainly prefer a central university to improve my speaking and writing skills in English. I made the improvement because there are so many events conducted at Pondicherry University, including departmental and festival based events.
