2025–26 academic session: AUD announces commencement of admissions, new courses
Dr B R Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) on Thursday announced the commencement of admissions for the 2025–26 academic session, introducing new courses and reiterating its commitment to inclusive, and affordable education. Vice-Chancellor Anu Singh Lather, while launching the admission brochure, said, 'We are pleased to announce the launch of a Master's programme in Political Science and a Doctor of Literature degree in the discipline of Social Science and Humanities.' For 2025–26, the university will admit students to 20 undergraduate (UG) and 28 postgraduate (PG) programmes, primarily through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET). However, the BBA in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Venture Development (IEV) will be offered through the Common Management Admission Committee (CMAC). The university has allocated 2,614 seats – 1,123 for UG and 1,491 for PG courses, including supernumerary quotas. 'One seat per UG and PG programme has been reserved for orphan candidates,' the AUD said in an official release. This was applicable last year too. Lather further emphasised the university's subsidised fee structure 'for students from disadvantaged backgrounds' and underlined its alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020. 'The university is implementing field-based pedagogies and research approaches as part of its NEP alignment,' she said. Maintaining that a significant portion of the seats is reserved for local students at AUD, the release stated, 'The university reserves 85% of its seats for students from Delhi NCT.' 'For UG admissions, candidates who have completed Class 12 from institutions in Delhi will be considered under the Delhi NCT category, while for PG admissions, candidates who have completed their Bachelor's degree from an institution in Delhi will qualify under the same,' it added. Describing AUD's vision going forward, Lather said: 'The university remains steadfast in its mission to expand the employability, innovation, and entrepreneurial potential of its students by offering dynamic platforms for academic and professional growth.'
