Pondicherry University also offers an MBA part-time course which is also a self-financing course offered by the Department of Management Studies. Except for the Department of Tourism Studies, all other departments have lower placement results. However, do not depend on the university for placements. 

In terms of studies, it is good. The fees are quite low compared to private colleges or IIMs. The faculty is really good and the knowledge you can acquire is enormous as well. The only thing that is not good enough is the placements so make your decision wisely.

I have a few friends from Pondicherry University, and according to them, for Insurance Management, the average salary package offered is around INR 5 LPA. The placement percentage is 94%. 

Here is a brief overview of the current placement statistics of Pondicherry University. 

But for MBA tourism, the package is relatively lower than anticipated. However, the placement percentage touches the 100% mark in contrast to other branches. For other MBA branches, the salary package is considerably low as well, amounting to around INR 5 LPA or INR 6 LPA.

The placement record of Pondicherry University MBA programs is quite good. Here is a brief insight into the current placement statistics of Pondicherry University, as per records.

Since the last few years, both MBA in Tourism and MBA in Banking Technology has witnessed great placements. These two branches, among many others, have seen the highest number of placements, throughout the university. 

It is best that you focus more on how you can brush up your skills. If you have the required skills you will definitely get good placement offers. 

One of my cousins graduated from Pondicherry University. According to him, it is a decent place to study and live but the rest depends on your hard work.

Nowadays the student's hard work counts more than what college he is studying. The physics department has a placement cell and it is active at Pondicherry University.

Institutes like TIME and other companies need subject experts in physics. They recruit from the university.

Campus recruitments at Pondicherry University are less. It depends upon the department. Different departments have different scenarios. Some departments have good placements while some don't.

One of my friends graduated from Pondicherry University. Here are some things you need to know about it before making a decision.

• Pondicherry University is good in terms of infrastructure and facilities. 
• It's a central University and has a very good campus. 
• The faculties are moderate.
• The placement scenario is not very good at Pondicherry University.
• Students here are mostly dependent on off-campus placements.

My friend got a good rank (read AIR-1) in 2014 but he ended up pursuing it in NIT Durgapur. So think wisely.

In general Pondicherry University is a good university. But not fit to meet the requirements of the industry. Better join some other university. In the long run, PU is not a good option. Placements are not up to the mark.
