Pondicherry University is gorgeous.

Placements: Since there hasn't been any batch that has completed their graduation after the university started following the new NEP guidelines, there haven't been any placements made yet. Prior to the implementation of the NEP guidelines, the average package that students got from statistics was around 4 LPA-6 LPA.

Great place to study, but still, there is way more that can be improved.

Placements: The UG programme for our course has just started 2years back, so none of the batch has been placed yet. Though the Master's programme in this course has started long back, and the placements are below average, I feel. Not sure if the same applies to UG students as well.

Best for students who like the B.Tech and make connections with different countries students.

Placements: First of all, yours is the 2nd batch in this university. Before that, there was M. Tech for the last 2 years, and they started B.Tech, which is good. Coming to the placement part, it's quite good, not below average. Compared to other universities, this is a central university, so it's good in that case. I have no idea about the highest package place, but I have heard that the highest is 40 LPA.

It is a nice place to build our career.

For internships, faculty members will give permission to some of the popular institutes and industries.

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.

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.
