Good central university, nice location.

Placements: The university offers good placement opportunities. Many companies come to them for hiring. Recently, Zifo and Solutions came for placement. The average package is around 3 to 4 LPA. A good percentage of students from engineering, management, and science departments got placements. I am also planning to get a placement through this opportunity.

Infrastructure: Campus life at Pondicherry University is beautiful. The university has an excellent environment. The university has a big library. Almost every book and journal we require is there. Classroom infrastructure is also good with technologies like projectors and microphones. In the university, hostels are quite less compared to students, but they give preference to distant students. Overall, the facilities of the hostels are good, and the food quality in the mess is good.

Faculty: The M.Sc. in Physics course is awesome at this university. Faculty members are very friendly, and we can ask about any problem. I chose this course because I like physics very much. In this course, the faculty-to-student ratio is around 1:5. Most of the faculty members hold great positions in their research work. Some of them have post-doctorates from very good universities around the world.

No placement. Friendly faculty members.

Placements: There is no placement after the course completion. We need to find our own jobs. After the completion of the course, you will get a Pondicherry University Certificate. After this course, learn any other skills like GIS, Python, etc. It will be helpful. Experience is required for a high-earning job in this field. Start from the DDMA, and we get a job.

Infrastructure: There is less equipment, and some equipment does not work properly. The department has one smartboard and Wi-Fi connection. There is a common library for the college. The food was average. The mess is contract-based, every year, it changes. Inside, there is a hostel committee and a campus committee, which conduct programmes, etc. There is a small ground in the hostel for throwball, cricket, football, etc.

Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The teachers are so friendly. Everything depends on the teacher's mood and the students' behavior. The syllabus now updated the teachers always try to put something new for students to teach. Everything is helpful, but something is outdated even though it is good.

Other: The students are from different places, so we can be friends with everyone. Soon it will improve language. Know about every culture, including Onam, Vishu, Durga Puja, Ganesh Chaturthi, and Diwali. There is a celebration and Anekaragam, it's so good, it's a programme conducted in this university. The campus is small, but it's good.

Nice college, I liked it and a little bit disappointed.

Placements: Our institute had a placement cell. If you had any doubts about placement, you could also visit the placement cell. From the second year onwards, placement cell will train you for placement. Top companies like Accenture, Cognizant, etc., often come to our institute. The highest package was 25 LPA, and the lowest package was around 5 LPA.

Infrastructure: We had separate blocks for different courses and departments. We had 4 seminar halls, an auditorium, conference hall, and 3 libraries. There were bus facilities for students, canteen, bookshop, and emergency room. There were around 20-30 security members. I chose the park at MITS Chitoor near NPN block. Our institute had a library in NPN block, which was open 24X&. A class had a capacity of 80 students.

Faculty: Teachers were skilled and experienced. Very few of them were Ph.D. holders. They often use blackboard and PPT. They were always available for the students. For every 10-15 students, one faculty member was available although our classes run until 5.00 PM. Faculty members were available till 6.00 PM. Many faculty members were from other states who were highly qualified and hold M.Tech or Ph.D. Very few faculty members were very friendly and approachable.

Other: No one says that we were good in the company, every senior was sad and upset.
