    MBA Course Admission in Pondicherry University.
    Placements: Approximately 85% of our MBA class is hired. The average package offered is 6.2 LPA, the lowest package offered is 4 LPA, and the highest package offered is 14 LPA. ICICI, Infosys, HDFC Bank, and Deloitte are among the recruiters. Approximately 75% can secure internships at startups, Reliance, and KPMG. The positions are in business analysis, marketing, finance, and human resources.
    Infrastructure: There is Wi-Fi available throughout the campus, case studies and e journals in the library, and air conditioned classrooms with projectors. Although it was far from the main Z, the hostel is clean. The canteen is better than the mess food. The gym is small but functional, and indoor sports are decent.
    Faculty: Some lectures felt overly theoretical, the faculty had experience and a background in the industry. Although the curriculum included real world projects, it could have included more up to date business tools. Exams are moderate, with a pass rate of about 88% and fair grading.

    Really satisfied with the infrastructure and facilities.
    Placements: I was very happy with placements and college internships because I got a package of 10 LPA in 2024. Some of my friends also got 12 or 13 LPA. Top companies like Tata Motors, Kent, etc., offered roles like sales management.
    Infrastructure: Facilities in the college were not very good. There was no Wi-Fi available. Also, sometimes the classrooms were not very clean. But the food in the canteen was good, and hygiene was properly maintained there. Sports and games like 8-ball pool and tennis ball were available in the college.
    Faculty: Teachers were good and supported students during bad times. They spoke nicely to students, provided daily practice papers, and conducted tests. The students were made industry-ready. The pass percentage was 78, and the passing mark was 33. The semesters were very easy and could be passed with one day of study.
    Other: The connectivity of Wi-Fi was lacking. I mean, Wi-Fi should have been provided by the college because there was no Wi-Fi available.

    This is one of the best colleges for an MBA and someone opting for distance studying.
    Placements: Various companies visit our college for placement and internship opportunities such as Nvidia, Infosys, Google, etc. They provide with decent stipend, the exact amount I don't know but it's well enough. Students should maintain a good CPI and work hard to achieve that.
    Infrastructure: The college library is very big. The college offers both offline. And online libraries which help a lot. The college also contains a sports ground, where various sports are played. There are various workshops and seminars held in the college.
    Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is decent but not that good. They are approachable and can be communicated easily, faculty of Maths and English are very good, especially Bihar sir Maths. They are very good explainers and the class is also engaged in their class.

    A genuine review from a student of Pondicherry University. I am dissatisfied with placements.
    Placements: Only less than 50% of them got placed. The highest package is 12 LPA, and that too only for one student. The lowest package is 1.8 LPA. The average package is 2.4 LPA. The top recruiting companies for our course are Federal Bank, Mana Tech, and SBI Bank. An internship is mandatory in the last semester, and if we try with our own connections, then we can get it in good companies. Top roles offered are HR assistant, HR executive, and business development executive.
    Infrastructure: The department is pretty decent with all the needed facilities. Wi-Fi is available. No lab facility is provided for us. Classrooms are well-maintained with AC. A good library is also available. Hostels are affordable. The food quality is not that bad but still, it needs improvement. Medical facilities are available 24x7. Sports and games are encouraged.
    Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and superb. They will not help us unless they feel to help. The teaching quality is good, but they take revenge on the internals if we are not attending the class well. The course curriculum is not relevant, and it is outdated. It needs further improvements. Exams are easy, and if we prepare well we can get good marks.
    Other: The main reason for choosing the course is to get exposure to international business and how the import and export documentation works, etc. However, the course curriculum needs to be improved and updated. The department organises a big fest called Globizz every year. There are many other fests in different departments where we can also join. The campus has an enjoyable crowd. The connectivity can be an issue because it is about 12 kilometers away from the bus stand and railway station. Scholarships are provided by the university. Campus surroundings are not that bad, but need to be careful.
