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.

"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.
