Pondicherry University is gorgeous.
Placements: Since there hasn't been any batch that has completed their graduation after the university started following the new NEP guidelines, there haven't been any placements made yet. Prior to the implementation of the NEP guidelines, the average package that students got from statistics was around 4 LPA-6 LPA.
Infrastructure: The facilities available right now have been used for a long time and haven't been updated yet in classrooms and labs. But the medical facilities are good, with proper canteens available across the campus. Wi-Fi provided is of good quality in certain places, reaching even up to 16 Mbps/sec.
Faculty: The faculty members teach the curriculum in an understandable manner that stays within the time frame of the semester. While the exams are relatively easy, they are given that there is a proper understanding of the concept. The questions asked are from the overall concepts taught and are asked in such a way to understand the level of concept understanding of the student.

I truly love my university.
Placements: 75 percent of students get placed. The packages ranges from Rs. 50,000 to 5 LPA.

Infrastructure: We have Wi-Fi connection all over our campus, which is free to use. We have separate classrooms for all the year students. We have two or more washrooms for each. In the hostel, we have two washrooms on the same floor, and we have two drying areas and water filters as well.
Faculty: All are prepared well with the NEP guidelines, so it is flexible and calming to learn more. Exams are good and based entirely on the syllabus. Our curriculum is truly relevant to current affairs. We study Science, Maths, Computer Graphics, and Python.
Other: I am fully satisfied with the course and faculty members. They regularly take 80 classes in one semester without taking any extra lectures. We have a multicultural environment, not only from India but also from France, Italy, and other countries, which makes the university lively. We can apply for various scholarships like NEP, E-Grants, etc.

Placement records in 2025 and university life at Pondicherry University.
Placements: Around 30 percent of students get campus placement. The highest package is 9 LPA–10 LPA, the lowest package is 3 LPA–4 LPA, and 5 LPA–6 LPA is the average. Recruiting companies are HDFC, Oracle, Tata, Infosys, and others. In my batch, every student gets an internship opportunity after 2 years in the summer. The major role is data handling.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi works properly in the library and department, but in the hostel, it’s a little slow. Classrooms are well furnished, and some classrooms have AC. Lab computers are a little outdated nowadays. In a hostel room, there is triple sharing, with not much space. Mess food is not good, but canteen food is good and affordable. A normal fever can be cured in the university health center. For games, grounds are there, but not in A1 condition.
Faculty: In my department, teachers are really helpful, and some teachers teach really well. Teachers are well qualified, holding a Ph.D. degree and a good research background. This course does not make you ready for corporate jobs; you can only think about research sectors. For corporate jobs, we need to develop skills on our own. Exams are not too difficult; they are moderate if you follow proper class notes. The pass percentage of students in one attempt is 90 percent, and the passing mark is 40.
Other: My teacher suggested that I go for the statistics area, and the best thing about this course is that you can handle the data well enough. If the courses were more focused on corporate skills, it would be better. Events and fests happen in the university from time to time. Scholarships are there, but in two years we didn’t get any scholarship; it’s still the 5th semester, and they are working on it. Extracurricular activities depend on the students if they want proper groups to be there for everything, including music, sports, drama, debate, and all.

Really good university to explore.
Placements: There are no placements for UG students. Placements are available only for PG students and also only for a limited number of students who have high marks. For PG students, they give placements in the Federal Bank and all. I said about the mathematics department, other departments like MBA, and all of them are also giving fewer placements.
Infrastructure: The college hostel is very good. More than 20 hostels are there. In all hostels and departments, Wi-Fi is available. Hostels are very clean. It's very cheap for boys and free for girls. Rs. 1,000 per semester for boys. Mess fee is different per semester, it's around Rs. 16,000- Rs. 17,000.
Faculty: Every faculty member is very well educated. Every faculty member has a Ph.D., and for every faculty member, there is a Ph.D. scholar. Sometimes Ph.D. scholars teach instead of faculty members. For each student, there is a faculty advisor. So if we have any kind of issue, we can meet them. They will help.
Other: The college is very big. So much distance from the department to the hostels. For that, university buses are there every day in the morning, afternoon, and evening till 8:00 PM bus will be running. Every kind of event is conducted here. Every state's culture is there.
