Ques

How bad is Pondicherry University?

● Top Answer By Sonali Sharma on 01 Oct 21

Ans

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.

Ques

How do I get a WES transcript from Pondicherry University?

● Top Answer By Rohith Ramaswamy on 29 Sept 21

Ans

The official website of the university will show you how to get the transcript. Before you apply for the transcript, keep in mind that you must have the original mark sheets for which you need the transcript and how many transcripts you need. Also, do not forget to get photocopies of the mark sheet as they will be your future transcripts. After you are done with the online processes, go to the Registrar’s Office which is in the Admin Block. You can get the transcript request form. You can also download it from the website. After you get the form, go to the Indian Bank that is in the university that is next to the Admin Block where you have to pay for the transcripts. After the payment, you will be given a challan for the same which you can attach with the transcript. With the photocopy of the mark sheets, submit the form with the challan. For verification, you may be asked to produce the original mark sheets. The Assistant Registrar signs and stamps each and every copy submitted by you. If you submitted the documents before 12 PM, you might get the transcripts on the same day before 5 PM. If not, then definitely the next day. Get an envelope of good quality for the transcripts as they will be sealed and signed. Usually, the transcript is a statement of marks in a specific format and is a separate document. In the case of Pondicherry University, though, the mark sheet itself is a transcript. You will get them in two days tops. The procedure can take quite a long time in other places.

Ques

How is the integrated M.Sc in Pondicherry University?

● Top Answer By Avni Sen on 29 Sept 21

Ans

Some of my friends studied at Pondicherry University. According to them, they offer three Integrated M.Sc programs – Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Physics, Chemistry and Applied Geology History, Sociology and Political Science You will have to choose from these three disciplines only and then choose the major subject among them. The advantages of the course and university are listed below. You can exit the course after three years with a B.Sc degree. The syllabus is light even though there are three major subjects and thus you can take up any additional courses you like. The university offers freedom in terms of uniform, timetable, and everything else while many of the undergraduate colleges still have school-like rules. You can study an undergraduate course from a university which is pretty rare. Studying 5 years in an Arts stream is difficult and should be reconsidered. The best course is Physics, Chemistry, and Applied Geology. Doing M.Sc in Computer Science is also not a good idea.

Ques

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

● Top Answer By Rhea Vij on 29 Sept 21

Ans

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.
