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%.

Review of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur.

Placements: I am Aradhana Yadav. I am currently doing an M.A. in sociology at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University. In my batch, 60 students are enrolled. Placement is not good in M.A., but a few students are placed at 2 to 4 LPA, and the average package is 3 LPA, and many students in PG are studying for the NET JRF examination.

Infrastructure: Deen Dayal Upadhyaya University is one of the largest universities because it has many hostels and departments for students, and Wi-Fi is also available in every department, and in our university, many sports activities are held regularly.

Faculty: The faculty are so supportive at our university. They teach at the level of the NET JRF examination, and they provide assignments and tests also in our university semester examination held every six months, and the passing percentage is approximately 33 percent; every student passes the semester examination.

Other: This course is good for Ph.D.s, so I chose this course.

Best course for UGC NET JRF.

Placements: The placement percentage for the Department of Economics at Deendayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University is very low, around 5%. The top recruiting companies are Utkarsh Small Finance and Bandhan Bank. Most internships are with professors and research scholars in the department of Economics, where students assist with research writing and data collection. The top roles offered in the MA Economics program are Risk Analyst and Research Analyst.

Infrastructure: The Department of Economics has a dedicated building on the university premises, which promotes good connectivity between faculty and students. Students have access to the central libraries, which are open 24/7 and provide free Wi-Fi and digital library access to students and some research scholars.

Faculty: The course curriculum is well designed according to the UGC guidelines and is best for our UGC NET & JRF. There are generally 3 faculty over 60 students. All faculty members are UGC NET qualified and have a PhD. DDU Gorakhpur is known for conducting exams on time and has a NAAC ++ ranking. The semester exams are quite easy as they are based on questions from the syllabus provided by the University. The professors teach the most relevant topics for the exams.

Other: I chose to study economics because it is my favorite subject and it allows me to apply my knowledge of mathematics to solve real-world problems. The university offers a variety of extracurricular activities, including sports, NCC, NSS, and Scout Guide programs. The central library is open 24 hours a day, and the university hosts events such as Gorakhpur Mahotsav and Alumina Meet.

Our college has the best facilities and infrastructure.

Placements: Our college does not provide placements, but after the completion of the course, we get jobs as assistant professors on the same campus with the highest salary package of 12 LPA. About 30-40% of students got internships as reader assistants on the same campus and in other colleges.

All departments have separate facilities for Wi-Fi connectivity, smart class, labs, library, etc. The campus has a central library that has stocks of all books and journals.

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.
