My brother used to be a student of NIT Puducherry. According to him, the internet speed easily reaches the top of 40 Mbps to 50 Mbps, which is by far the best service provided to students. Other than that, the LAN connections are to be mounted very soon at the institute body so as to help enhance the connectivity speed over time.
The wifi speed once recorded reached almost around 1.1 Gbps in the laboratory, which is the maximum my brother and his friends witnessed.
One of my friends studied at College of Engineering Guindy (CEG). According to him, it is a good institution, CSE being the highlighted department. Let me share the details I got to know from him.

One of my friends studied at NIT Puducherry. According to him, when he graduated from NIT Puducherry, the college was not very much developed.
During his time there was poor teaching staff with minimum facilities. He understood that depending on the college and its faculty will get him nowhere. So he started working hard himself.
But now the institute has come a long way from there. It has now a fully functional permanent campus. Many reputed companies visit during placement drives. Though the salary packages offered may not satisfy an engineering graduate, it has still offered the best it can.

I have a few friends from NIT Pondicherry and according to them, there is a gym at NIT Puducherry. Even though it's not a very advanced one, you can still manage to use it just to keep yourself fit. The gym is quite basic with few pieces of equipment and not very spacious. Students mainly use this place for stretching or yoga activities.
