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.
