Pondicherry University: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 14 Reviews

The admission process at this university includes a written exam in May, considered easy with adequate preparation. Local students have a separate quota, affecting non-local applicants. Admission is based on a common entrance test focused on undergraduate syllabus content, with three merit lists and a spot admission round. The faculty is highly regarded, with a 1:6 student-to-faculty ratio ensuring personalized attention. Class sizes can reach up to 70, but faculty are approachable for doubt clarification outside class.

The curriculum is aligned with CSIR standards, requiring internal assessments, assignments, and a final exam each semester. The central university's fees range from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 70,000, considered high for such institutions but lower than private universities. Scholarships are available for top-ranking and meritorious students. Placement opportunities vary; MBA and Bioinformatics see good company offers, while other departments face limited corporate presence and no internships. Non-professional course placements are moderate, with more opportunities in research.

The total cost for a PG program in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry is around Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 60,000. Semester fees are Rs. 23,000 for the 1st, Rs. 3,200 for the 2nd, Rs. 14,000 for the 3rd, and Rs. 3,200 for the 4th semester. Annual hostel fees are approximately Rs. 28,000, with exam fees between Rs. 300 and Rs. 500. Monthly merit scholarships for the top three students are Rs. 2,000, Rs. 1,500, and Rs. 1,000.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The semester fees for the university is high according to my opinion since it's central university the fee structure is little bit high Sem 1 - 23k Sem 2 - 3k Sem 3 - 14k Sem 4 - 3k The hostel fees are a total of 40k The scholarships provided are based on which state the student belongs to since their own states provides the respective scholarship for their students The campus doesn't provide any internships and the project work eligibility is top 50% in the class which I've never seen in any university and this leads to the downfall of the student's career. There are certain teaching jobs for some students which doesn't have a career growth if you ask me *Note that this data is only obtained from the department of Biochemistry and molecular biology in Pondicherry University The rest of the departments provide projects interships and few provide Campus placements for ex : MBA department The semester exams fee is acceptable and there is no extra charges from the academical side!.
