The college must improve a lot.
Placements: There are no placements in my college. Few industries conduct walk-in interviews. There are no placements, no package is offered and no internships are offered. The course helps us to get an overall general view of all sectors, so it is easy for us to attend competitive exams.
Infrastructure: There is a library on our campus and it is useful. Classrooms are a bit old. Renovation is going on in our hostel. The quality of the food in the mess is poor. The management is working on it. We have good sports facilities. We have many clubs for different activities.
Faculty: The teachers are well qualified experienced and knowledgeable. The course has too much information which can be reduced. It makes the students stressed. Semester exams in our college are quite difficult. Most of the students pass except a few. The percentage may be around 80%.
Other: This is the only government college for agriculture in Pondicherry. There are many clubs for extracurricular activities.

Realllyy good infrastructure and facilities .
Placements: In mathematics, a maximum of 23 students are there. For mathematics, there are fewer placements. Placements are applicable for PG students. Everyone should do an internship. Mathematics has more scope, and Pondicherry University is a central university, so that is more valuable than any other state university.
Infrastructure: There is 24/7 free Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is available everywhere in the university. Labs are available in every department and lecture hall. The library has one more building as a reading room; on working days, it is open until 3:00 AM from 8:00 AM, and on Saturday and Sunday, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The hostel is really good; many hostels are there for girls and boys. Food is also good and worth the price.
Faculty: Faculty members are really good and helpful. Faculty members are making questions for external exams, and they are correcting the papers, so we have to have a good relationship with faculty members. This course is really good. The 1st semester is not much harder. The hardness increases by semester.
Other: The integrated course is good because we don't want to apply for a PG again. In 5 years, we will get PG and UG certificates. The campus is actually crowded, and scholarships are available. Every event from different states will be celebrated, so we are aware of every state's culture.

Good infrastructure but let down by poor placements.
Placements: So far, no student in my batch has been placed, and no packages have been offered. TCS and Infosys are the main recruiters for our course. Approximately 3% of students have received internships from Cognizant. The top roles offered in my course are full-stack developer, software engineer, and data scientist.
Infrastructure: Pondicherry University provides high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity in both the departments and hostels. In fact, the entire university has Wi-Fi coverage, so connectivity is not an issue. In addition, there is a library, library annexe, and reading room where ethernet cables are available for faster network speeds. The reading room is fully air-conditioned, so you don't have to worry about your device overheating. The hostel rooms are moderately spacious with enough space for luggage and necessary ports for charging and two fans. However, the quality of food in the mess leaves a lot to be desired, as sometimes worms or insects are found in the food. Canteens are available until 12pm and offer good food at a cheap price. There is a health center for normal health issues and an ambulance for emergencies. Basketball, tennis, football, and cricket grounds are available, as is a hockey court.
Faculty: The teaching quality is not up to par, as most faculty do not take classes themselves. Rather, they leave it to their scholars. The teachers are technically qualified but I personally didn't find them knowledgeable or helpful. The curriculum is upto date but it doesn't make students industry-ready as it's more theory-focused. Semester exams are not that difficult, though it varies greatly from subject to subject. The pass percentage is 16% in internals and 24% in externals.
Other: I chose this course because I'm interested in computer science and wanted a masters in computer science. The best thing about my course is how broad it is. That is, it covers a wide range of fields in CS. I wish the course would be more practical-focused. That would be a great improvement. There's always an event or festival going on on the campus and the campus crowd is active and energetic.

Satisfied but not with placements .
Placements: I'm studying B.Sc. Hons in Computer Science, 2nd year, at present. So only 25 students are taken in for our course. I guess there is less scope in placements for computer science in our university because that's what my seniors said to me. They would recruit only 2 to 3 people approximately. Our university has good placements in MBA and tourism. Almost all the people I know in MBA and TOURISM got placed. So I would say those two courses have good scope. Apart from placements, Pondicherry University is a good place to meet people and interact with people from many places.
Infrastructure: Old hostel conditions are so bad, but hostels like Narmada and Kannagi are far better for girls. And the food facility is somewhat eatable on specific days, but most of the time food isn't good. It is somewhat good in the girls mess, but I have heard in the boys mess the food is horrible.
Faculty: Yes, teachers are good, but they won't teach much; we should learn everything by ourselves. Semester exams are difficult because we can't expect easy or direct questions from the faculty. We can dive into many programming languages on our own because we will be having time for ourselves mostly.
