PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Pondicherry University Community College (PUCC) is the first conceptualized Community College in India. It came into existence on 16th October, 1995 as a part of the decennial celebrations of Pondicherry University with the University Grants Commission's recognition through Ministry of Education, Government of India. Since its inception, it has been rendering the best services to the youth belonging to marginalised communities of Puducherry, Tamil Nadu and PAN India. Vocational and Undergraduate Honours courses are offered which are contemporary and in line with the New National Education Policy of the Ministry of Education, Government of India.

Synchronizing with the expectation of the stakeholders the College has also been a pioneer in Community engagement, Yoga and Sports activities. The imparting of knowledge involves salient features like in situ demonstrative and theory classes, Wi-Fi enabled campus, library and e resources, good laboratories, field trips combined with internships and in plant training programs in the industry, hospitals and service organisations simultaneously. The College assures a platform for enhancement of skills through empowerment leading to employment, vertical mobility to higher studies and becoming successful entrepreneurs. Besides, a special emphasis is given for building human values, leadership skills and pre placement training to the students.
