PONDICHERRY UNIVERSITY- AN INSTANT LOOK

Dislikes

Some courses and professors are outdated

In Pondicherry University they gave scholarship to students who perform well in semester end examinations. And also support other scholarships given by different state government and central government. Actually Tuition fee is little bit high by comparing to other central universities but it is acceptable .

Pondicherry University- A Review on 'Peaceful Abode'

Yes, I have opted for scholarship from the college and I availed it through merit-cum-means scholarship.The college offers scholarship opportunities to the students both on means and merit cum means basis. The top 10 highest marks scorer of each department is eligible for the scholarship provided he/she's annual parental income is less than 2,50,000 per annum.
