My journey at Dindayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University has been quick but rewarding.
Placements: There are no placements in my university, and I believe this is because nobody pursues Bachelor's degrees in English Literature or Ancient History with the expectation of getting placed. I didn't get placement, but that's okay because I didn't pursue English Literature for that reason. Instead, I went on to pursue another degree.
Infrastructure: The hostel at Dindayal Upadhyay University is quite good. They provide all the necessary facilities for students, including Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, libraries, and more. Everything is clean and well-maintained, making it an ideal place to study. I personally chose to enroll in the hostel because it's very affordable and cheap.
Faculty: The co-curricular activities are excellent, offering various sports and cultural activities. Students can join different clubs to explore diverse interests and engage in various college events. These activities are well-organized, making the college experience truly enjoyable. I highly recommend enrolling in this college.

Our college has a good study environment because of teachers.
Placements: Almost 30% of students got placed in our college. The highest salary package offered is 4.5 LPA. The average salary package offered is 3.3 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 2.6 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Bharat Finance, TCS, and Infosys. About 30% of students got internships from our course.
Infrastructure: All classrooms are huge. They have smart boards. Our college has a library for self-study. The hostel facilities are not much good. The mess is not good. The hostel rooms are not much good. There are no medical facilities in the hostel.
Faculty: Teachers and their way of teaching are very good. They put a good amount of effort into teaching. Semester exams are very easy. They are conducted in the CBSC mode. It is the latest and most advanced mode. The pass percentage is 80%.
Other: I opted for this course because I want to become an IAS officer, and this course has many subjects, which are very useful for UPSC. There should be regular classes in this course. Events, fests, the campus crowd, and extracurricular activities are good. It is a good course for students who want to pursue research in this subject and want to become an English teacher.

It's actually very good in terms of fees, but to be honest, it can be quite frustrating.
Placements: Many people were disappointed in the end. The crowd can be quite vulgar at times, and some behave inappropriately; however, you can't judge the whole community based on a few who are ill-mannered and illiterate in their own way.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite good, but the faculty can be intolerable at times. They aren't always helpful and can behave rudely, though some are genuinely nice and warm. I like the environment, but it's not as I expected it to be because they teach in Hindi, and I prefer English.
Faculty: Exams approach us before the completion of the syllabus. Every semester, we need to rush because of exams, and they never complete the whole syllabus. They seem to focus more on taking exams than on teaching. This is good, but not everyone is smart enough to cope with it, as lectures are important.
Other: I wanted to explore and experience new things in life.

Infrastructure: There were more than 200 classrooms in art faculty building. Every classroom had super fast Wi-Fi connection and AC. Smart boards were also available in the classrooms. Best environment around the classrooms. Library facility was the best, where everything had free access. All books and journals were available in them. Hostel was not good, because of its poor management and high fees structure.
Faculty: Teachers were the best, with high degrees and good knowledge of teaching. They were knowledgeable and very helpful. This was an industry ready course. This course curriculum was very relevant. Semester exams were very easy to pass, with excellent marks. More than 95% students passed every semester.
Other: Affordability was the best part of this course. Government provided us scholarships too, through which we got a good amount as scholarship. Saksham is the name of the scholarship, we got. Gorakhpur mahotsav was the top fest of the campus.
