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.

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 Tech...

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.

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.

Good among the central universities for B.Tech, and it has good infrastructure and facilities.

Placements: Our batch is not the first. The first batch will pass out in 2029, so there is no data on the highest or lowest placements. In MBA, there are placements, although not so good. All companies are local, and the average package is also not good. However, when the B.Tech first batch passes out, placement may be better.

Parul University Design Aptitude Test covers subjects related to Logical Reasoning, Analytical Ability, General knowledge, Design Thinking and Critical Thinking. Best resource for preparation of PU DAT syllabus would be GK books and last year's question papers.
