Campus Life in an island

Because it was rare. Not many colleges offer this course. So the certificate has its value. Curriculum doesn't necessarily prepares you for real world applications, but you have to opportunities to develop skills. You can work with phd scholars , they are all very friendly and let's you work with them and learn. The curriculum could be improved by introducing more about fisheries, currently the syllabus focus on oceanography, biochemistry and other laws or policies.

Internship opportunities are very rare. It happens very rarely. During our batch there was no internships, but there was a campus placement by a company called skrittle, and they selected 4 or 5 people and they are currently working for the company, starting salary was 25000?.

As i already mentioned it was a small campus, not much Events or activities going on. It doesn't mean nothing at all , yearly events like 'anekharagam' restarted from our batch. Sports events are also there but the students have to take responsibility and do all the necessary arrangements for this to happen. It mostly depends upon the batch, if the students are active there would be events . And about technologies or infrastructure, the campus have enough infrastructure development required for the student strength.

Rooms are shared by two people, and have a cupboard for each person. The warden visit the hostel like once in a blue moon. Registration process for hostel was very easy and all , I don't even remember doing it. The meal quality was not upto the standard. Sometimes it's good , sometimes it's crap. We get non-veg biryani every Sunday and that's a relief and also chicken curry every Thursday. The meals are atleast not same everyday that's a relief.

I got admission for dhsgu in madhya pradesh, and also in Calicut and kannur university. But these were all for different courses, i really wanted to study Marine Biology and this campus was the only option inhad for it.

And admission process was through nationwide cuet entrance exam and Merit based , after exam results i applied and got admission from the first allotment itself.

Pondicherry University maintains a professional and approachable academic environment, typically characterized by a faculty-to-student ratio ranging from 1:18 to 1:25 depending on the specific department. Faculty members are widely regarded as highly qualified, with approximately 97% holding PhD degrees, and they are often described as friendly and helpful, especially in laboratory settings. Students have specifically highlighted Ganesh Sir (as noted in your experience) and Dr. Shankar in Biochemistry for their ability to explain complex concepts from the basics up. While most professors are easily accessible, some students have noted that senior faculty can be quite busy, leading them to rely on supportive PhD scholars for day-to-day guidance.

No gym or anything mentionable like that. We have a hostel mess, and the menu is very limited, you'll get tea, sometimes snacks, library is open till 9pm. Campus 24 hrs open . Means you can wander around anytime outside your hostel. But anyway there is not much places to go. The boys and girls hostel are very close to each other, so everyone can come out , and hangout all the time , no restrictions for girls or anything.
