It gives me great pleasure in extending my hearty welcome to all those who are seeking admission to various Programmes of Pondicherry University. Pondicherry University holds a special place in the Indian University System. It was created to meet out the demands of the local community, and ever since its inception in 1985, it has shown a tremendous commitment to innovation and to serving the needs of the nation. The University takes great pride in having established strong, industry-focused teaching programmes and cutting-edge research. We offer our students a research-enriched education that is complemented by work-integrated learning opportunity. Pondicherry University, accredited with “A” Grade by NAAC, is one of the most sought-after campuses amongst the students from across the nation as a destination for the Higher Education and Research. Pondicherry University was the first in the country to implement “Choice-Based Credit System” (CBCS) which is now being followed by many other Universities.
