The course is conducted by a capable faculty, including HOD Radhika Khanna and esteemed professors like Dr. Haneef, Dr. Samarjit Kacharia, and Dr. Arul Selvan, all known for their expertise and supportive teaching methods. A mandatory one-month internship provides practical experience, with some students securing placements through faculty guidance while others find opportunities independently. The course fee is 50,000 for four semesters at this central university, which includes tuition and other charges.

Despite the reasonable fees, affordability may still be a concern for students from lower economic backgrounds. There are no formal placements, but faculty offer job insights, and many alumni pass the NET exam to become professors or work in TV channels. Scholarships are available, providing 20,000 in the first year and 25,000 in the second year. Hostel fees are 30,000 for the first year and 35,000 for the second year.

Admission is based on the CUCET exam rank.

Education in Pondicherry

Tution fee is reasonable for the resources and the equipment the department provides , the department and classes are well equipped with projectors and with centralised AC , most of the alumni of this department clear NET and join as professors and work in tv channels.

PU:A honest review

Fees: compared to other central universities PU has higher fee structure

The course fee is higher compared to other central universities even though it does not offer much room for intellectual development. So, the affordability for these course to people from lower strata is comparatively lower. And there is no actual placements happening inside there
