My experience in the Pondicherry University

Pondicherry University organizes a national-level entrance exam every year for the admission of students into post-graduate courses. There are more than 64 departments in the university, all the departments organize this entrance exam.

MSc in Physics course is awesome in this university. Faculty members are very friendly. We can ask about any problem. I chose this course because I like physics very much. In this course faculty to student ratio is around 1:5. Most of the faculty members are in a great position in their research works. Some of them have post-doctorate from very good universities of the world. Another good thing about this department is the teaching method, which is really supportive and encouraging. They want to give guidance to every student so in our department, every student got a faculty advisor. And exams are conducted every month, assignments are also given. To pass the course is students have to work and study.

University offers good placement opportunities. Many companies come to them for hire. Recently zifo and solutions came for placement. The average package is around 3 to 4 lakh per annum. A good percentage of students from engineering and management, science departments got placements. I am also planning to get a placement through this opportunity.

The cost of study at Pondicherry University is quite less compared to other institutions. The hostel fee is also minimal. University also provides scholarships to meritorious students. Many companies come to the university for placement and job offers, this is looked after by the placement cells of our university. Last time I also registered for zifo and solutions placement offer.

Campus Life at Pondicherry University is beautiful. University has a beach and the environment is also awesome. There are many festivals organized on the campus like vennakam, Onam and also departments also have many festivities. Overall experience is great. University has a big library almost every book and journals we require are there. Classroom infrastructure is also good with technologies like projectors and mic. Fellow students are also really helpful, they help each other a lot.

In the university, hostels are quite less compared to students but they give preference to distant students. Overall facilities of the hostels are good. The food quality of the mess is good. Students can have a good quality meal at an affordable price. Mess fee is taken during admission. Hostel registration is done online and more distant students got hostels easily.
