I will definitely recommend one to join this campus.
Placements: In my opinion, there were very few placements in my course. Due to many reasons like low placement rates and companies did not hire students. About 1-2% would be placement rates, according to data. But we got internships on the campus for 6 months. After completion of the course, we got a certificate which could be used anywhere to get jobs.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities in the course were superb and mind-blowing. Every facility was provided on the campus. Very good infrastructure was available and looked very attractive. First-class classrooms were available with air-conditioned. All classrooms were cleaned. Wi-Fi, library, and labs with first-class facilities were available. I stayed in the hostel for two years. There were the best food and room facilities to live in. The fee was also very low compared to the first-class facilities.
Faculty: I experienced world class education here due to the best teachers. They taught very well and we easily understood them. They were highly educated and experienced in their field. Overall, everything was good. This course curriculum was very relevant. Semester exams were not hard. They were so easy to pass with consistency studying. Pass percentage was more than 95%.

It is a good and affordable university.
Placements: Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University is the top university in the state. This campus also provides the best campus placement offers. There are no campus placements offered to us. Campus placements are organised for courses like BBA, MBA, and B.Tech. No internship programs are offered for our course. After completion of this course, we have to search for jobs on our own. After this course, I found teaching to be the best career option with the best package.
Infrastructure: This campus is best in providing us with every facility we need. We get free Wi-Fi, free books from the library, RO water, reading facilities, free medical facilities, etc. We just need to issue a library card to avail library facilities. A library card is given to all students for free. I didn't opt for the campus hostel since the campus hostel is not good. The canteen foods are good, hygienic, and affordable.
Faculty: Teachers were very helpful in nature. They help us at every point where we need them. They are very highly qualified and knowledgeable. They have years of teaching experience, so they deliver excellent lectures. This course does not make us industry-ready. Semester exams are not difficult since every question is from class notes only. The pass percentage of students is very good.

I am satisfied with this campus because of its infrastructures and facilities.
Placements: The course which I studied was not an industry-ready course so no placements were provided. Also, there were no internships since this course students had no offers from any industry or organization as an intern. This course was a simple post-graduation course degree in English literature. Students had to search for jobs on their own as school teachers mainly.
Infrastructure: In our department, every facility was available for students. The facilities like best classrooms, fans, air-conditioners in classrooms, first-class library, free Wi-Fi, RO water, best faculty members' support, etc., were available for all students. I was a day scholar so I do not know about hostel facilities. The food served in the canteen was good and affordable. They provide first-class facilities in the canteen. Medical services were provided to students free of cost. Sports were organised every month with other colleges, but students could not participate in them due to the syllabus.
Faculty: Teachers were very helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. They had years of teaching experience so they had a strategy on how to deliver good lectures. They teach students very well. This course did not make students industry-ready. Semester exams were not difficult since all exam questions were from class notes only. The pass percentage was almost 80-90%.

I am satisfied with the campus faculty.
Placements: This campus is very back in placement offers. This campus provides placement for some courses like BBA, MBA, and B.Tech only. In our course, no placement is offered. Also, no internship opportunities are provided to us in any field. In the year 2022, after many years, 18 students with MBA have got a placement with the highest salary package of 6 LPA. Scholar Academy, Bangalore was the name of the company which recruited them. Also, they got one to two months of internship opportunities. In our course, we all have to search for jobs on our own.
Infrastructure: In our department of English, everything is so good. They provide us everything like free Wi-Fi, RO water, air-conditioners in the classroom, 1000 students facility in a single class, labs, library, medical services, etc. All books and journals are available in the library for free for us. They provide our library card in starting of every session. With the help of a library card, we can get any books. The first year I applied for a hostel but the hostel conditions are worst. There is no cleaning in the hostel as well was a mess, so I dropped out and took private PG in the second year of the course. Campus canteen is very good in comparison to hostel mess. Games and sports are organized on our campus in which anyone from campus can take part but we couldn't due to the hectic syllabus.
Faculty: The professors were very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They are a professor in the profession so they have research degrees along with years of teaching experience so they teach very well. Every point they taught was understandable. This course doesn't make us industry ready. Semester exams are not difficult at all. Every paper's questions were from class notes so we got good marks by studying through class notes. The pass percentage is around 80 to 90%.

This campus is really amazing in every angle .
Placements: Our campus doesn't provide us any placement offers. Campus placement is offered to some courses only like BBA MBA and B.Tech. In our course mainly we have to search for jobs by own self. In this course, Teachers are the top roles we get as jobs. Also no internship is offered to us in any years of the course. We get only part time job opportunity in campus where we can earn 200 per day max by doing part time jobs in various departments.
Infrastructure: In our department of English all facilities are provided like free Wi-Fi, best classroom, AC, labs, library, RO water, clean environment, etc. Also everything in department is available in sufficient for all students. I just took private PG nearby campus where per month Rs 5000 fees is charged including mess. Everything is best in that PG. A room is alloted to two girls in which all facilities are available. Meals are of best quality. Campus canteen is superb where everything is available in reasonable prices. Medical facilities were available in our campus for free for all students and working staffs. Sports are also organised in our campus every months in which everyone can take part.
Faculty: Teachers were very helpful, qualified and knowledgeable. They have years of teaching experiences so they teach everything good. No this course doesn't make us industry ready. Semester exams are not tough at all since all questions come from class notes delivered by professors. We can get good marks by studying through class notes. Pass percentage is almost very good.
