We have a multicultural environment, not only from India but also from France, Italy, and other countries, which makes the university lively.

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 Lab computers are a little outdated nowadays.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.
