Admission to the M.Sc. program in Molecular Biology & Biochemistry at Pondicherry University hinges on the CUET PG entrance exam, with eligibility typically requiring a bachelor's degree in a relevant field and a minimum percentage of 50-55%. The application is online, with fees around 1200 INR for General category applicants, and the university also accommodates category-based reservations. The academic year is divided into semesters, featuring extensive resources such as libraries, although some facilities need updates.

Tuition fees for the course vary by semester, totaling approximately 130,000 INR for the entire program, including hostel and mess fees. Scholarships are offered based on merit and need, with specific awards like the Island Scholarship providing 1,000 INR monthly. The department boasts a strong faculty-to-student ratio of 1:2.5, with six highly qualified members, most of whom have international experience. Faculty are approachable, though some students have reported issues with certain staff members.

While the teaching style can be theoretical, faculty are generally supportive in academic and extracurricular activities. Placement opportunities are limited for science students, with a focus on preparing for exams like the CSIR JRF rather than direct placements. However, students do receive guidance in securing internships and training. Prominent companies such as TCS, Infosys, and Wipro recruit from the university, with average packages around 4-6 LPA, although these opportunities are more prevalent in management courses.

Internships, which are encouraged but not mandatory, start in the third semester and extend through the fourth, providing valuable real-world experience.

Liberty to choose any course of your choice as elective from any department.

Dislikes

They take too many student per batch. There isn't any section division and it's difficult for us study in a herd.

1st semester fees including admission fees was 23042. 2nd semester fees was 3700. 3rd semester fees was 13700 and last semester fees was 3350. Exam fees is to be given before semester exam and it varies from 300-500, depending on the number of paper you opt. The top 3 students every semester recieved a scholarship of 2000, 1500, 1000 rupees per month.
