DDU Faculty

Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University features a robust faculty with many professors holding PhDs and significant expertise in their fields. The university recently hired 15 new teachers in one department, many of whom are recipients of the Young Scientist Award and collaborate with IITs. The student-to-teacher ratio is approximately 1:75, with variations across departments. The law faculty, for example, has around 150 BALLB students taught by professors who make complex subjects accessible.

Generally, the faculty is approachable and fosters a supportive environment. However, some departments, like arts and zoology, receive mixed reviews due to perceived rudeness or lack of engagement. The university conducts exams twice a year in a semester system, with a high pass rate of over 80%. Facilities are generally well-maintained, with some departments boasting modern classrooms and resources. Overall, the faculty is considered knowledgeable, though some areas could benefit from more consistent engagement and broader teaching approaches beyond textbook material.
