To enjoy college life, you may join here.

Placements: Compared with all the engineering colleges near Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu, our college gives better placement results than many other colleges. However, the overall placement result is only moderate. The college mainly aims to prepare students for TCS placements, as if it is the only company in the country. I think the placement support and preparation are poor due to a lack of updated knowledge about current industry requirements.

Infrastructure: There are three canteens and a food court. Students can also order food from nearby hotels using online food delivery apps.

Faculty: Teachers are more casual. They are not fear about portion completion, examinations, or students' performance. They do not share notes properly with students. If students ask for notes before exams, teachers usually share one or two downloaded notes just a few days before the exams in a careless manner.

Other: This is one campus with all the courses in the city of Pondicherry. It is well known and easily recognized by the people of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. Cultural events are conducted twice a year by inviting top celebrities in a grand manner. This campus is exclusively for Engineering and MCA courses, and there are two other branches of the college in Pondicherry offering other courses.

This university is improving placement in the technology field, there are many international MOUs.

Placements: In my course, there is no batch passout. The course starts in 2024, and we are the second batch. This course is basically good for both technical and business fields. Our course is an integrated B.Tech + MBA. At Pondicherry University, the average placement is 6 LPA.

Infrastructure: There is a 24/7 library with Wi-Fi and washroom facilities. Facilities are good at Pondicherry University. For B.Tech + MBA, classrooms are good, it feels like an IIT classroom. In the classroom, there is Wi-Fi, AC, and a projector facility. Hostel facilities are good; in the hostel, a 24/7 guard is present. Water coolers and Wi-Fi are available. For playing sports, there is a stadium here.

Faculty: All faculty members are doctoral degree holders and have extensive knowledge in their field. Faculty members are friendly, and they help with hackathons and many other competitions. For B.Tech + MBA, the curriculum is designed by TCS, and it's good. In the curriculum, we have internship opportunities, and after completing the internship, we get 10 credits. Semester exams are moderate, and many students get 9.5+ CGPA. There is a 75% attendance mandatory requirement.

Other: I chose this course because in B.Tech + MBA, I will get technical and management knowledge, and it's good for the upcoming technology world. In the course, there is no need for improvement, but this college is situated in the South, so there is a language issue for those who don't know English. There are a lot of college fests like Akansha, Holi, Pongal, Onam, etc.

Great infrastructure, peaceful environment, diverse exposure, and moderate placement opportunities.

Placements: As we are the 2nd batch in the B.Teach CSE, there is no record of placement. In affiliated colleges, the highest package is 25-30 LPA, and the median package is 6 LPA. Currently, Zoho is visiting our college. For placement, there is no idea which companies will visit, but due to the good location, there is a good chance of visiting companies. Currently, during this time, the 2nd year students are just applying for internships. The top roles that are offered in my college are MBA and Banking Technology. As Computer Science is new, its hive is smaller.

Infrastructure: As Computer Science is new in my college, it is growing. Wi-Fi facilities are good on campus; the campus has its own Wi-Fi, and classrooms and libraries are also 4.5-star rated. Labs are there, but the labs are old. Hostel and mess facilities are very good, and proper medical facilities are also provided by the university.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is not too tough, but they teach linearly. According to me, it's perfect. The semester exams are not too difficult. Mainly, the exams are fixed so that everyone can answer the questions, meaning the paper is between normal and tough. There is a 99% passing percentage. 99% passing percentage.

Other: I opted for this course because its location is good, and there is an environment of study with not too much crowding. The best thing is that we have faculty of a different type. Their teaching style is very different. Monthly events and festivals are always held in our college. The college provides mainly scholarships to the Puducherry students.

Good university, great campus life, honest work, hard for placements, but have time to explore.

Placements: B. Tech courses were started 2 years ago, and till now it has not been 4 years, but our university has collaborated with ZOHO Corporation this year, 2026. Like Sridhar Vembu had shared his experience, he will surely recruit and get us internships. M.Tech students are currently going for placements.

Infrastructure: Labs are really good, like internet is available all the time. The internet, and projectors are available in every classroom. We have a central library as well. It contains a variety of books that we can issue for free, but have to return within one month. Food is above average, chicken/paneer is served twice a week. One room is given to three people, but it is big enough, there are two cupboards along with racks. We also have many canteens serving delicious street-style food.

Faculty: Teaching is good. If we pay attention, the teacher will care about us. They do help us in gaining knowledge and exploring lots of things. The course curriculum is relevant, like every other engineering college, but we do have a choice-based credit system (CBCS). Semesters are moderate to easy, till now, everyone has passed in the 1st year except 1. The overall pass percentage of the whole college is 85-90%.

Other: Falling in love with coding made me choose Computer Science and Engineering. I hope they integrate more real-life problems and hackathons. Fests and events do take place a lot at the beginning of semesters, so there is a lot to participate in.

Best campus life, but attendance is an issue, and overall, exams are easy. You can pass easily.

Placements: Placement is good. Basically, if you have potential, you can get a placement from here. The placement ratio is good because it is the second batch, so till now, there is no placement record. Placement will depend on your skills, not on the college. I know college is important, but if you have better skills, you can get the best placement. The course is overall the best because you are getting both B.Tech and MBA, a company-oriented program.

Infrastructure: The course is best because you are getting both B.Tech and an MBA degree from here. Therefore, I think this is the best course. The hostel is the best. You can get 24/7 electricity and good water, but the mess food is sometimes disappointing because the mess food can be so hectic that you are not able to eat it.

Faculty: Examinations are easy, by the way. The faculty is good, but some of the faculty can be hectic. They pressure students for attendance. Some teachers are so good that they will support your startup idea, and the HOD of this department is literally the coolest guy. Most teachers are good, but the main issue is attendance.

Other: Fests are going to happen every other week. You will enjoy every festival. You can see every culture here Tamil, Telugu, Kerala, and people from all over India. Many fests happen every week.
