Puducherry Technological University.

Faculty: Faculty, curriculum, and exams are very good. Some of the faculty are non-cooperative, but the rest are all very good, very helpful, and supportive. They help you in all ways. Exam questions are very easy, but you still have to study very well, and the exams are conducted very strictly.

MBA Course Admission in Pondicherry University.

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.

Good teachers and clinical exposure. Needs more extracurricular and updated library resources.

Faculty: Faculty members at SMVNC are experienced and cooperative. Most of the teachers are well-qualified and explain the concepts clearly. They support students with seminars, clinical case discussions, and doubt clarification sessions. Practical training is given importance. Teachers are strict but encouraging. Some faculty members go the extra mile to help students, especially during university exams and clinical postings. The semester exams are quite difficult, and teachers will help you through the...

Satisfactory college with decent faculty members and placements.

Faculty: Curriculum is very good. The teaching quality is also very good, except for some teachers who make college life feel like school life, rest are all good. The exams are comparatively medium level. Sometimes the board asks very tough questions but generally easy. Faculty members are also very good and supportive, except for some.

Pajancoa - A nightmare for students.

Faculty: The faculty members are very bad. They are very selfish and they think about their convenience only. Teachers don't know basic English. About exams, they purposely fail you to get an evaluation and reappearance fees. They don't make students industry-ready. Also, the fees are very high, and the college doesn't give any facilities.

Review of Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences.

Faculty: Each department has more than 10 faculty members, which is a sufficient number, and all the faculty members are well-experienced doctors from the most renowned institutions like AIIMS, JIPMER, etc. We follow the CBME MBBS curriculum. Compared to other universities like MGR University and Pondicherry University, the exams are a bit tough, but because of our college's coaching, almost all the students pass all the exams every year.

Pondicherry University English - Is it worth it or not?

Faculty: Most teachers are approachable, sweet, and open-minded but some of them are usually strict for no reason. There is no discipline issue for the batch. The curriculum is outdated, except for the last semester in which the papers are relevant. The semester exams are fine. The pass percentage is above 98%.

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

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.
