Satisfied with the campus life because of different people and programs.
Placements: About 80% of students are placed in our course, including the integrated students. It is an art subject, so the placements are rare, but they offer many seminars and other facilities here. Internships are numerous, and every week we get notification about internships to our university mail ID.
Infrastructure: Departments have all facilities. All the buildings, even if it is a hostel or any department, have Wi-Fi connection available. And classrooms are mainly smart classrooms. Hostels are several stories high and also have the facilities of lifts. Almost 24-hour reading room and library are also available here.
Faculty: Teachers are well educated and have many years of experience. Semester exams are actually simple and syllabus-based; almost all students will be passed out without arrears even though the attendance percentage is strict for writing exams. It is about 75%.
Other: For pursuing a postgraduate degree in South India in history, also among central universities, Pondicherry University is the best. Students from almost all states are studying here. Also, programs are there for diverse cultures.

I'm dissatisfied due to the lack of better amenities.
Placements: In our class, there are 75 students in total. Internships are available in various companies, depending on your performance and interests. However, there are no specific recruiting companies for our course. After completing the course, we can pursue careers in archaeology, museology, or research. Top roles offered are similar to those of any post-graduate.
Infrastructure: Classrooms have 74 students, but there's no better facility for students. Library is not good, and many books we need are not available there. Wi-Fi connectivity in library is poor. Facilities in the hostel are decent. The quality of the food is very bad. Medical facility is also poor.
Faculty: Faculty members are well-experienced in our department. They are helpful and friendly and their teaching quality is good. Course curriculum is relevant as history is being rewritten by some people. Semester exams are easy. Pass percentage is 50%, and not much difficult.

Campus life is too good. There is no restriction on hostel timing.
Placements: There is no campus placement, but some students cracked the UGC NET exams during their post-graduation. Some students are also preparing for UPSC, SSC, and RRB in their free time, as class hours are very few. Assistant professor is the top role for the department's students after qualifying for the NET.
Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi quality is just average. The department has a good library. The classrooms are crowded, but the department is about to move to a new building. The hostel is open 24/7 and has good facilities. The quality of the mess food is low. There are sports stadiums for various kinds of sports where we can develop your athletic abilities.
Faculty: The semester exams were simple, and the pass percentage was high. This gave me more time to focus on other entrance exams or competitive exams. Some teachers and scholars were highly experienced, while others were not. The course curriculum was okay, but it was not specialized in any section of history like JNU and other central universities.
Other: I really enjoyed the campus life at Pondicherry University. There were always a variety of events to choose from, representing different communities and occasions. The university is an absolute cultural hub for everyone, and there were no restrictions on hostel timing.

Great campus life, great memories.
Placements: Placements are great. Each and every student is guaranteed a placement with a minimum salary. If you are prepared well, you can get placements in multinational companies. Even many students got selected in various posts of the UN too. There are selections for extracurricular activities too.
Infrastructure: The university infrastructure features modern classrooms, well-equipped labs, libraries with extensive resources, green space, advanced sports facilities, and efficient transport. It supports research and learning, though areas like Wi-Fi and maintenance need improvement.
Faculty: The curriculum balances theory and practical, with a focus on industry relevance. Exams are fair but could encourage critical thinking over rote learning. Faculty is knowledgeable and supportive, though the teacher-student ratio and regular training could improve.
Other: Campus life is vibrant and inclusive, offering diverse clubs, cultural events, and sports activities. The environment fosters friendships and personal growth. However, cafeteria options, hostel facilities, and recreational space could be improved for a better experience.

Infrastructure: The facilities at this college are good. The hostel is open 24/7, and the department has a good library. The Wi-Fi is just average, and the mess food is very cheap. But the college has a top-quality stadium for cricket and football, and an indoor stadium for badminton, basketball, and volleyball.
Faculty: Some of the teachers were helpful, but some were not qualified or knowledgeable. The semester exams were simple, and the pass percentage was high. This gave me more time to focus on other entrance exams. The course curriculum was adequate but not specialized in any section of history.
