Remarks

Pondicherry University is a Centrally Funded Higher Education Institution. It is one among the Institution of National Importance. Holding good ranking in both nationally and internationally. The rich diverse culture. Signed MoU with foreign Universities.

Course Curriculum Overview

Pondicherry University has qualified and experienced Professors. As usual it is up to the students who are willing to learn. Each professor will use different mode of teaching, anyhow commonly used mode is teaching using overhead projector.

Class Size: 43Course Fees: INR 143335 per year

Internships Opportunities

3.5

I have opted for internship at Urban Company for one month Virtually. It is a non-paid internship. Role offered was Intern under the HR department. My task was to call the employees and making sure that they will be get back to work that to during the beginning of pandemic.

Placement Experience

A lot of companies vs University as it has many departments when it comes to placements around less than 50% of students may get placed as it is the time of pandemic whereas it is around 60 - 70% previously. This panoramic the companies visited at the department of management studies are Accenture, TCS, Infosys, ICICI Bank, ICICI Securities and so on.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee Structure is normal when compared to private Universities. Scholarships are available as per the norms of GoI. You can avail bank loan during study period if you are well influenced with procedures in bank else it is difficult.

Campus Life

Life at campus is really more colourful if you want to study, you can study; if you want to play, you can play, you can have the complete freedom that what ever you want to do. Regarding the amenities available at the campus you cannot expect a hi-fi facility but can expect a decent facility. Have a very good collection of books at library with a very good reading room. A lot of festivals will be there.

Hostel Facilities

I have opted for hostel I am lucky enough to get the new hostel facility that is built very recently. Many other old hostels are there, they are not that good still you can manage with that because you will be staying with your friends and it will be not be a big deal. Coming to rent, it is ok as it is very minimum when compared to others the mess facility all over India, the same problem exists and it is not that good and not that bad it's an average.

Let your Light Shine

Likes

The most liked things in my college is the college atmosphere which takes us to a heavenly feel. The environment is very silent when we visit in morning time when the students are in class.
The next thing I like the most is the professors in the college. Each and everyone is a friendly teachers where they not only help us in subjects and class related things but also guide us in our future career plans.
I like the way they treat the students in the college. They'll provide more liberty to the students but that doesn't affect them because the students too will be in their limits of liberty. So this is a good habit developed by the college.

Dislikes

There is nothing particular that I don't like. Sometimes I feel that they'll conduct some events where there might not chances to the deserving students.
There is some students gang where they take care of everything in the college by themselves without giving chances to deserving students.

Placement Experience:

From the final year which means 5th and 6th semester for undergraduate students and 3rd and 4th semester for Post graduate students, it is eligible for them to attend the campus placements. In my MBA, we'll be eligible for next semester to attend the placements. But for undergraduate students, they might have got chances now to attend the placements. The companies visited for us when I was in Undergraduate in the same Loyola College are Deloitte, Accenture, Standard Chartered, Goldman Sachs, RR Donneley, Bank of America, Sutherland, Infosys, Cognizant, TCS, Equinty, Turing, and many more small companies also came. The overall placed students numbers were almost more than 300 among the final year students alone in the college which is a great achievement. The highest package offered for us is ?700000 from Goldman Sachs and the average package we received is ?300000 which is from all the small companies. The percentage of placed students in our college is almost 85% from our batch alone. So we hope that in this batch there might be more than 90%. The reason for 85% in our batch is most of the students has moved for higher studies. My plan after getting degree is to get a senior most position in any of the big company and grow in my career.

Hostel students say they get good quality food with affordable fee
Few teachers who are really cared about the students and their career

Dislikes

College buses are not in proper condition. Very poor maintenance
Many faculties are very lethargic and they do not complete the syllabus on time
Day by day placement sector is becoming poor. Students are not getting proper placements.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for placement from 3rd year 6th semester itself but the college does not bring any company for placement on time. 5 years back standard companies lkke tsc, hcl, cts etc used to come. But nowaday it is very rare. Lowest package is 2 lpa and highest package is 6 lpa. Average is 4 lpa. Very least students get placed. Try off campus. Do not believe the college

There is nothing to dislike I love my college and I enjoy being here

I just applied for Gurunanak College and DG Vaishnava college also. I got call from Gurunanak College for MBA. But I choose Loyola because of it's brand reputation and high respect from public. It is one of the the top ranked colleges in Nation wise and first in Chennai. So as per this good and great characteristics, I choose Loyola over any other colleges. No, I didn't get any rejections from any colleges. Even I got selection confirmation from Gurunanak College but I didn't opt to it after I got confirmation from Loyola. DG Vaishana has sent me a mail for an entrance examination but I just ignored it after confirmation from Loyola. The admission process is very simple. First is online application. The applicant must fill all the necessary details in the application correctly and accurately without any mistake. Then after 2 to 3 weeks of thorough scrutiny, the admission officers will send us mail after we got shortlisted. The mail has details of the documents needed to bring to office with it's originals and Xerox for scrutiny and also they'll send the time and fees amount to be brought to pay. So they'll conduct an interview for the students and after that interview, they'll select the students and grant them admission. The eligibility criteria for the admission is 80% in 10th and 12th and 7CGPA in Undergraduate....Read More

I got selected in HOU but I choose PU ,i got attracted to this course and i read brochure it find this is very diversified and you will having so many options after your degree and I got spot admission the admission process and hostel allotment process went very smoothly no problems there and I seats are alloted totally on merit based . If we compare the uni with other i would say academically it's very average particularly social science and humanities like the depts lack faculties and proper furniture and most of times professors will be ready at classes Talking about campus life no doubt there we have one the most beautiful campus in india and the night life of pu is another vibe it's don't disappoint anyone there , so on overall I am ok for choosing pu because it's a amazing diversity and filled with many talented people...Read More
