Placements must be provided for M.Sc. students.
Placements: There were no placements. Students did not apply for internships. Most of the students opted for Ph.D. programs. They were not aware of placements and jobs available for them. Some of the students are still waiting to be accepted into a Ph.D. course and others have left this line of study and is currently pursuing other fields of study.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi was available all around the campus, the classrooms in the department were air conditioned and there was no department library. The labs were not well-equipped. Hostel rooms were cramped, quality of food was not good, medical facilities were provided, students were into sports and games.
Faculty: Teachers were quite helpful and qualified. Teaching quality of some of the teachers was good while some did not do a good job of providing knowledge during class lectures. This course is not relevant and does not expose the students to possibilities of working in industry. It does not make the students industry ready.
Other: Chose the course to learn more about the subject Biochemistry. Best thing about the course was challenging myself with greater knowledge of the biological sciences. To improve the course it would require a subject on biochemical processes and engineering and an exposure to industrial facilities and services providing options for students to not only pursue Ph.D. at the end of the course.

Other: This university is situated in Pondicherry and is at a distance of 160 kms from Chennai and 4hrs journey. The teaching methodology of faculty is not up to the mark and syllabus framed in this department is equal to CSIR and other national level entrance exams. The facilities are poor and food is of bad quality and it has no proper internet facility and the temperature is hot. The faculty is co-operative but the library is not up to the mark. The placements are not there for this department and the labs are satisfactory. Proper funds are not allotted to this department.

A considerable choice with great value.
Placements: There are no placements in this department, but they allow for projects in the second year for 6 months, which depends on you. They do not allow for internships because the curriculum is tighter than expected. Memorandums of understanding (MoUs) are signed with various universities, which gives a chance for collaboration.
Infrastructure: The department is spacious, with two large classes every year, each air-conditioned. There are two labs for practical purposes, and every faculty member has a personal laboratory for their research work. The university has centralized Wi-Fi facilities provided after your admission.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified with many years of research experience. But the only drawback is that their expectations and standards are higher, which makes it difficult for us to satisfy, ultimately resulting in a lower CGPA. They are also quite stringent with their work, with no room for excuses.
Other: I chose this course because it is offered at a central university, which gives it additional value on my resume. The way teachers are taught can be changed.
