AUD begins undergraduate admissions, 21 enrol on Day 1

I found the campus and faculty really good.The liberal space that AUD provides is something I’ve heard often about and will help me grow as an individual.

Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) started its first round of admissions to the seven undergraduate courses on Thursday, with around 21 admissions already done by the end of the first day.

AUD had beaten Delhi University’s high cutoffs this year, by requiring a perfect 100% score from students, who were not residents of Delhi, in certain courses.

The university released its first cutoff list for admissions to undergraduate courses on Wednesday.

The university, which reserves 85% of seats for Delhi students, has released two lists for students from Delhi and outside. The cutoff percentage for non-Delhi students was kept at the perfect score of 100% for History, Psychology and Sociology. For courses other than these three, only two students from outside Delhi took admission on the first day.

Out of the 445 undergraduate seats available at the two AUD campuses at Kashmere Gate and Karampura, 21 seats were taken by the end of the first day of admissions.

AUD offers seven undergraduate courses, of which honours courses in Psychology, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Economics were the most favoured subjects on the first day of admissions.

Aryan Kumar from Karnal had a best of four score of 97.25 and had enrolled himself at AUD for Economics. “I found the campus and faculty really good.The liberal space that AUD provides is something I’ve heard often about and will help me grow as an individual,” Kumar opined.

While talking to HT, many applicants expressed their joy on being enrolled by AUD in the first list itself.

One such applicant, Ananya Baunthiyal, said, “I like the course structure that AUD offers to undergraduates. I also googled the qualifications of the professors and was really impressed.”

Applicants mostly had queries regarding the documents and many had shown up with incomplete set of documents. “Students should keep their income and OBC certificates updated to avoid any last-minute hiccups. The anti-ragging affidavit should be duly filled and stamped by a notary,” said Anshu Singh, assistant registrar, AUD.
