Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University (DDU) admits engineering aspirants through two separate merit routes, UPTAC and JEE-Main, and the closing ranks under each differ sharply. The 2026 UPTAC cycle placed B.Tech admission within a band of 165715 - 1275834 when all categories are read together, with Round 4 marking the final closing position. Lateral entry seats in B.Tech {Lateral} are filled purely on UPTAC merit, without any JEE-Main component.

On the JEE-Main side, the 2025 figures split by quota: Home State admissions closed between 218825 - 1434541, while the All India pool stretched further to 568768 - 2019728, both recorded up to Round 7. Artificial Intelligence & Data Science under UPTAC and Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning) under JEE-Main draw the strongest demand. Across 2022 to 2026, ranks have widened rather than tightened in most branches.
