There are various ways in which a University can be termed bad. According to some of my friends who study there, Pondicherry University is not good due to the following reasons:

Uncooperative Faculty -

• The faculty does not give good internal marks and does not teach the subject in the class for the entire degree duration. 
• More than 60% of faculty doesn’t provide a double-digit score in the internal assessment. 
• Classes are not conducted regularly. It has been seen that they usually taught in 1st year only and you have to study on your own for the remaining time.

Unfair Evaluation- 

• There is no correct answer evaluation at Pondicherry University. The papers are evaluated casually. 
• Deserving students are often failed in the examination due to the carelessness of the teachers.

Last-Minute Decisions - 

• The decisions at Pondicherry University can be taken at any time. 
• There have been many cases where exams get rescheduled without any prior notice. This creates problems for students coming from other states as they have done their flight/train bookings in advance.

These can be the reasons why Pondicherry University is not good. There are a lot of provisions which could be improved.
