A relatively newer university in Uttar Pradesh, DDU Gorakhpur University was founded in the 1970s. In eastern UP, it has a lengthy history.It has a "A" grade accreditation from NAAC and is acknowledged by UGC. Thus, its educational standards are respectable.

According to the QS Asian University Rankings 2023, LU is ranked higher than DDU GKP, at 651-700 and 96-100 respectively. LU also has a higher EduRank score, which is based on research output, non-academic reputation, and alumni impact. However, DDU GKP has a higher NAAC grade, with A+ compared to LU's A.

In terms of fees, DDU GKP is generally cheaper than LU for most courses, especially at the postgraduate level. For example, the fee for M.A. (English) at DDU GKP is Rs 3,865 per year, while the fee for M.A. (English) at LU is Rs 81,080 per year. However, the fee for B.Tech (Computer Science and Engineering) at DDU GKP is Rs 50,000 per semester, while the fee for B.E. (Computer Science and Engineering) at LU is Rs 1 Lacs per year². Therefore, the fee difference may depend on the course, level, and mode of study.

In terms of courses, both universities offer a wide range of programmes in various disciplines such as arts, commerce, law, education, science, engineering, medicine, and agriculture. However, some courses may be available only at one university and not the other. For example, DDU GKP offers B.Tech, M.Tech, and Ph.D. in engineering, while LU offers B.E., M.E., and M.Phil. in engineering. Similarly, LU offers B.A.LL.B., LL.M., and Ph.D. in law, while DDU GKP offers only LL.B. and LL.M. in law. Therefore, you may want to check the availability and eligibility of the courses that interest you before applying.

I hope this comparison helps you to evaluate the pros and cons of DDU GKP and LU. Ultimately, the best university for you may depend on your personal preferences, goals, and circumstances. You can visit the official websites of both universities or contact their admission offices for more information.
