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 Everything is helpful, but something is outdated even though it is good.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.

It's a decent university.

Placements: The placements are very average. On average, only 4-5 students get placed. The package for the placed students is pretty decent. It's mainly up to the students. Their level of understanding of the course and how up-to-date they are plays a major role.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is decent. Some lab equipment needs to be upgraded. The classrooms are spacious and neat. There is a dispensary within the campus grounds with a nurse and a doctor always on call during working hours. The library has a good collection of books that can be used for reference. The sports and games area is also decent.

Faculty: The faculty members are the best. They are all very well qualified and have a deep understanding of their respective subjects of expertise. The curriculum is good, but it doesn't compare to the NEP curriculum. It, however, does do the job and makes the student industry-ready as long as the student puts in the effort to understand the subjects in the course. The semester exam questions feel fair enough.

Placements: Every student should do internship in 2nd and 3rd year. We have to find by ourselves. The department does not provide any assistance in finding internship and placement. The placement offers are very rare. I do not know about placement offer package, top recruitment companies,and top roles.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and hostel are good. There are Wi-Fi classrooms, main and department libraries, and labs. The mess food is average and worth the price. Health facility is available 24/7. Facilities available for sports include an indoor court and stadiums.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and experienced. The teaching quality is good. The semester exams are not too hard. Exam time table is quiet inconveniable. 50 percent is the pass percentage. The curriculum maintains quality and contains essential elements.

Other: The Sociology department has good standard, so I choose it. There is lag in finishing syllabus. The campus is clean and well maintained. Only limited events and fests.
