How do I crack the MSc food science and technology entrance test in Pondicherry University as I m a graduate in biotechnology?

One of my friends graduated from Pondicherry University and having read a few online reviews regarding this topic, I would suggest some things. To crack this entrance test you need to plan well to score good marks. Cover the basics from grade 11 and 12 NCERT Biology and Chemistry. You can refer to the previous years’ question papers. Try to read all the theories behind those questions. Revising thoroughly will help score good marks. Securing a seat in Central University requires preparation strategically. So if you want to clear the Pondicherry university entrance exam just prepare according to the syllabus. Thorough preparation for a month will make things easier.

My College Life

In my First year I paid 23042rs for course fees and 15793rs for mess fees for first semister and then in second semister I paid 3200 for course fees and 12432 for mess which was reduced during second semester and in my second year I paid 16048rs for mess fees and I have to pay 13700 for my course fees for my third semester and which is same as second semister I have to pay in my fourth semester and Everything like tuition fees and lab fees were included in Course fees only we should not pay it as separate and during semister end exams we have to pay Exam fee which is below than 500 like 430. When it comes to Scholarship as it is Central University we are not eligible to apply for this state scholarship but we are eligible to apply for our state scholarship EPass by this we got 20000rs and also we are eligible to National Scholarship which is NSP.

Survival in Pondicherry University

Fee strucuture is around 44000 for 4 semesters . In first sem we paid 23000 and in 2nd sem it was 3000.For the last two sem fee is 17,270 . University is providing merit cum means scholarship for students who secure good marks . but if yiu are taking other government scholarships they denie this scholarship which is little unfair. Campus olacement is not there for our course but we can apply for placements that is common for all the students
