I truly love my university.

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.

PIMS: A student-friendly college.

Faculty: We follow the CBME curriculum in our college, and exams are conducted by Pondicherry University. The curriculum is very standard, and we have the most helpful and super-friendly staff who are from JIPMER, AIIMS, and many top universities. They are very helpful and super cool. Yearly, we have only one university exam, which consists of very standard questions, and the pass percentage is the 60-40 rule.

Placement records in 2025 and university life at Pondicherry University.

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.

Teachers are not that knowledgeable.

Faculty: Most of the faculty members are knowledgeable and approachable, but some of the professors are not that knowledgeable, in my opinion. The college should be concerned about this and improve it to provide good, knowledgeable teachers. The pass percentage is mostly positive.

If you are within Pondicherry, it’s a good college, but if you are outside, it’s your choice.

Faculty: The teachers are good, and they are well educated, but their teaching is quite outdated. The syllabus is not so relevant as it depends upon the university, but now it’s changed, and they are keeping it good. The semester is easy, and the pass percentage is 95 percent.

Really good university to explore.

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.
