Course Curriculum Overview

5

I had mainly opted this course because of their curriculum which was well fitted with the NET syllabus. PU covers the entire NET syllabus for English literature without missing on anything. It gave more importance to the toughest part of our syallus, that is, literary theory. It was taught very well and has helped me in cracking my net exam as the syllabus mostly included majority of it. Exams were of high standards and we have to score 50% inorder to pass which really helps us strive for more.

Internships Opportunities

5

Companies like Thomas cook, Pick your trail, HDFC, Allianz and many international companies hold internships at the university. Aloh with it, we can also work as intern in any of the government offices.

Placement Experience

5

For us English students, campus placements start in the final semester. But for the other courses, it starts from second semester itself. About 70% of students get placed from the university with good packages.

Fees and Financial Aid

There definitely was an increase in the tution fee, that was the only negative to be mentioned. But other than that, the fees is reasonable. Scholarships were available to students who scored first few ranks in the entrance exams, which were a great deal of help to them Also, there are internships available through our mentors which is of great help.

Campus Life

5

There were several clus that was initiated by several departments. But what captured me most was the cultural activities. Since, it was a mix of people from various states, almost every other day had some celebration associated with it. There were also a lot of fundraising programmes and flashmobs.

Hostel Facilities

5

Hostel facilities are literally top notch. They undergo maintenance works every year during vacation time. So, once we re enter the campus, it's all clean and neat again. Very much safe and very much free with no curfew at night.

Admission

When I wrote the entrance it was not CUET, but pondicherry University entrance exam. So the cut off was varying. For the general category cut off was 170 marks. But for reservation, anything close to 120 was accepted. Reservation benefits were good and financial aid was also given help with.

Faculty

5

There were about 8 faculties for us 120 students in our class. Even though the numbers were small, they had effectively worked together to help us understand our subjects better. Professors were graduates of prestigious universities themselves and even had teaching experience from IIT's. This helped a lot in shaping our overall outlook on the subject. Our third year research project were a success due to a very advanced approach from our faculties. They were with us right from the literary review to the day we submit our research project. They were that helpful

Course Curriculum Overview:

In my course we are learning a lot of theory papers like cultural studies , gender and queer studies , subartern studies , critical approches to theories and so on. Even in the thrid sem i had a project of translation under one of the best facutly in our department. This strengthens my resume. These syllabus are really helpful to participate clear competetive exams like ugc net . We had a lot of questions from our syllabus in the previous exam. To tell about the exam , timing is 3 hour for every paper. We dont have any practicals or labs. Paper inclues 2 marks , 5 marks and 15 marks.

Placement Experience:

There is is placement cell available in the university. One of the main responsibilities of the Placement Cell is to motivate, train and prepare the students of the University and its affiliated Colleges for campus interviews. It plays a very important and key role in counselling and guiding the students of the University and its affiliated Colleges for their successful career placement, which is a crucial interface for the students between the stages of completion of academic programmes of studies and entry into suitable employment.

Placement Experience:

The students become eligible for campus placements after their second semester. That is when recruiter officers approach students for their interest and interviews. Amazon is one of the main recruiters. The average package is 5lpa starting. 40% get placed. My plans are to pursue a PhD after my master's.
