Pondicherry University: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 7 Reviews

The Anthropology Department at Pondicherry University provides limited campus placements but excels in research opportunities, notably through partnerships with French and German universities. While Anthropology students may not have extensive placement options, those in Psychology and Social Work benefit from stipends during internships in various sectors. The university also organizes on-campus fieldwork, such as studying migrant workers, enriching students' practical experience. Scholarships depend on entrance exam results and semester performance.

Topping students (1st to 3rd place) earn a 1,700 INR monthly scholarship, and those in 4th and 5th places receive 750 INR monthly, contingent on criteria like financial need and parental employment status. The total cost for a two-year master's program, inclusive of mess and semester fees, is below 80,000 INR. Admission fees start at approximately 20,000 INR, with semester fees between 1,700 and 9,700 INR. Mess fees are around 12,000 INR for six months.

Female students enjoy free hostel accommodation. Various scholarships, including E-Grantz, post-matric, and merit-based awards, are offered. While campus placements are limited, MBA students particularly benefit from campus interviews.
