Course Curriculum Overview

3

Pondicherry University has good sociology department and well trained professors.That ' s why I choose this.The curriculum contains major sociological concepts and theories and areas like rural and urban sociology, gender sociology,youth sociology and social on.The teaching methods should be improved.The exam schedule is tight.I write two semester exams in a day.The questions are not too hard but don't gets marks.

Campus Life

The annual and technical festivals are limited.The students usually organise and celebrates festivals themselves.The accessibility of library books is good.Not all classrooms are digital.Clubs like nss and other students associations are there.Good facilities and practices for sports.

Hostel Facilities

4

I stay in the college hostel itself. It is newly built and much better when compared to other hostels in the university. The hostel rooms are well arranged and comfortable. Each room has a bed frame, a cupboard, a table, a chair, and charging ports. The rooms are neat and have enough space for daily use. The washrooms are clean and well maintained. Safe drinking water is provided through a water purifier. Lift facility is also available, which is very helpful. Overall cleanliness of the hostel is good and hygienic. The quality of food is medium. Chicken and egg are served twice a week. Regular South Indian food is provided for meals. Rasam, pappad, pickle, and curd are available every day. For breakfast, dosa, idli, poori, and bread are given. Chapathi is served for both lunch and dinner. After completing the admission process, we can apply for hostel stay. We need to fill out a form and make the payment. After that, the hostel staff allots the room. Different room options are available such as dormitory, three share rooms, and two share rooms. Overall, the hostel provides good facilities and a comfortable living environment.

Admission

Firstly I got admission to sacred heart college,Thevara, kerala.I studied one month there.Then I got admission in Pondicherry University,so I went to pondicherry for more exposure and opportunities.I also applied to university of hyderabad for alternative domain,but rejected.Cuet ug is the eligibility test for central universities like pondicherry. Admission process is quiet simple and smooth.They will publish rank list,then verification process and fee payment.

Faculty

4

The faculty - student relationship is not at all bad.It is also depends on the nature and behaviour of faculty and student.professors are approachable,but busy also.For 1st year ug students phd scholars will be taking class.They are friendly and helpful.There are minimum two internal exams.It is medium - hard range.It is easy then we study and follow the instructions of tutors.The no of students who gets supply is less.The course curriculum has good standard and quality.

Night Life

5

The light life in Pondicherry University is excellent.We should enter the campus before 11:00pm and write in hostel register.But we can hang inside the campus anytime,no time limits or restrictions.The teatime is open till 12:00pm.The gym and library is available till evening (around 4-5pm).The locality is safe ,but also be careful.There are so many hidden places,park,grounds to hangout.It is great pleasure and add nice memories to our campus life.we are our masters.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose Ba. BEd. history because it has professional value and also helps int he upsc exams. The curriculum revolves around practical work such as in history we learn about museums, epigraphys, manuscript and also world history which gives us a upper hand in practical work. As for bed we cover basic pedagogy, psychology and teacher development and also practical sessions, Currently there is no need in any change as it already covers both practical and theoretical domains. The frequency of exam is vast and difficulty level is medium it would be great if there is a little gap between papers

Course Curriculum Overview:

The diversity in this course is a huge attraction but uni failed to executive this course properly and when it comes to teaching method french and law were quiet good very experienced proffesors are there and political science is somewhat ok but when comes to scholar literally they will be having some ppt and they read it out that's sit you just have to make note from what he read and what you heard that's sit Talking about exam timings french and law are good they complete their syllabus and keep exams on time. Political science dept they conducted exam for us at first as we requested later they repeated the same paper to their students which totally unfair History and sociology depts literally they allot the scholars in last 1 month of the semester and the whole teaching and exams including internals and externals were conducted and completed in one month along with assignment submissions
