How good is Pondicherry University in physics?

SS
Sunaina Saha Posted On : September 27th, 2021
M.Sc. Physics,Pondicherry University (2017)

One of my cousins graduated from Pondicherry University and here are some things I got to know about it. 

  • The Department of Physics at Pondicherry University is one of the leading Physics Departments among Indian Universities.
  • It offers Integrated M.Sc. (5 yr.), M.Sc. (2 yr.), and Ph.D. in Physics. 
  • The admission to these courses is the National level entrance test conducted by Pondicherry University. 
  • You can get admission to Ph.D. if you crack the entrance even if you have not qualified JRF. But qualifying JRF will give you real research opportunities with no funding problems.
  • The M.Sc. Physics courses are very useful for those who want to go for a future research career. 
  • It consists of rigorous theoretical as well as experimental course work with a specialization (which can be chosen among Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, Laser and Electronics) and a project work (only for those having high grades).

The course is bringing the best out of the students here. A good number of students qualify for national level exams like NET, GATE, JEST as well as getting very good job opportunities at domestic and multinational companies.

How hard is it to get admission into Pondicherry University for an MSc in statistics?

RV

M.Sc Statistics, Pondicherry University (2018)

Actually, it is quite the contrary. It is quite easy to convert to Pondicherry University even if you are a little serious about your studies. 

  • The university conducts its own entrance test every year. You need to clear the test to get admission here.
  • For the test, you need to be moderately prepared (depending on the level of the student) and practice the last 4-5 years of the question paper. The level is easy
  • Most people aim for the IITs, IISc, and ISI Kolkata before joining this university if they do not get a chance there. You can get an idea of the level of the university.

The course is good with excellent faculty and a good study environment, more freedom and no academic or social pressures. So it would be a wise decision to join here if you do not get the top colleges.

Master of Social Work Human Resource Specialisation,Pondicherry University (2017)

The Department of Tourism Studies of the Pondicherry University offers an MBA in Tourism & Travel Management. It is one of the rarest courses in India and the course here is actually pretty good. 

  • You will have a Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) where you can choose certain “Soft core” subjects offered by the department apart from the “Hard core” subjects which are compulsory for the course completion.
  • There are mid semester, end semester as well as internal assessment exams. 
  • A 40:60 ratio weightage is given to the mid-semester and internal assessment exam to the end semester exam. 
  • You need to achieve at least 40% in the end semester and 50% on aggregate to pass the subject.
  • The department organizes two tours each year; a 5-7 day, Eco-tour and a 10-15 days national tour. 
  • Apart from that there are various field visits during your coursework as well. 
  • World Tourism Day is also celebrated with much flamboyance each year.

Overall I would say that it is a very good course with lots of practical knowledge and experience. The faculty are also knowledgeable and offer very good insights into the industry. The exposure and experience you will get here is really very nice.

How is M.Tech in Pondicherry university?

PS
Piya Sharma Posted On : September 28th, 2021
M.Tech Green Energy Technology,Pondicherry University (2017)

M.Tech, as a degree, is a very good choice at Pondicherry University. However, it also depends upon the department you are choosing. Some of the programs such as Nano Science, Data Science, Computer Science, and Architecture are quite great at the institute. 

In many cases, students of the university often claim that the placement percentage, unlike other institutes, is lower than usual. Some also say that the peer group at the institute is not that good. 

Contrary to what they say, it is not quite true. One of my friends is a recent alumnus of Pondicherry University and is now settled in a top firm. So, if you have the required skills, you can easily get job offers. 

There are many students engaged in government and privately funded projects. For academics, Pondicherry University is quite good. However, you will have to look for jobs on your own.

What should I choose between Pondicherry University, JNU, DU for MA philosophy? Why? Which is more economical?

AS
Anuradha Sinha Posted On : May 6th, 2022
MLISC from University of Delhi (2021)

You should choose JNU for MA in Philosophy. It offers better learning opportunities. JNU is also the best economical choice. MA Philosophy from JNU costs only INR 654. 

JNU has wonderful History, Aesthetics, and Sociology department. This is an advantage if you want your Philosophy course to be thoroughly interdisciplinary. The residential university life of JNU is a unique learning experience in itself.
