Admissions through CUET PG

In a record-breaking response, 360,779 students have shown interest in AUD by selecting it as one of their preferred institutions while applying through the Common University Entrance Test for Postgraduate (CUET-PG), the university said in a statement. To promote inclusivity and flexibility, AUD has announced that candidates who did not choose the university during the CUET application process can still apply directly through the university's admission portal, provided they meet the eligibility criteria, the statement said.

"The university has aligned its courses with the National Education Policy (NEP) and follows the policy in letter and spirit with emphasis on experiential learning," Dean of Admissions Prof Santosh K Singh told PTI. Interested applicants can visit the university's official website, aud.ac.in, for detailed information on programmes and the admission process. The university recently launched a new master's programme in political science.
