AUD Special Admission Drive 2026: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) will conduct a walk-in special admission drive next month to fill vacant seats across select undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, the university announced on Tuesday. Candidates will need to visit the campus in person on their designated date, register on the spot, and complete the admission process on the same day.
AUD Special Admission Drive 2026: Schedule
The special drive will be held over three days in early September. September 1 is reserved for SC and ST candidates across all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. On September 2, postgraduate admissions will open to candidates of all categories, followed by undergraduate admissions for all categories on September 3. Candidates who participated in earlier admission rounds but did not secure a seat will get priority, based on eligibility and seat availability, but they must still take part in this special drive and complete fee payment within the given window.
Who Can Apply Without CUET
According to the university’s statement, students who did not appear for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) can also apply for the special drive, provided they meet the eligibility criteria for their chosen programme. However, priority in the merit list and admission process will be given to candidates who qualified through CUET. For applicants without a CUET score, the merit list will be prepared using marks or grades from their last qualifying examination: Class 12 marks for undergraduate programmes and undergraduate degree marks or grades for postgraduate programmes.
How the Walk-In Process Will Work
Candidates should keep the following process in mind:
- Registration and application submission must be completed between 9 AM and 1 PM on the respective scheduled date
- Applicants must be physically present on the university campus during this window
- The merit list will be declared the same day by 4:30 PM
- Selected candidates must pay the admission fee immediately and complete remaining formalities without delay
Since the AUD Special Admission Drive 2026 is time-bound and conducted entirely on campus, candidates are advised to carry all original documents, certificates, and fee payment arrangements in advance to avoid missing their admission window.
Why This Drive Matters
AUD Special Admission Drive 2026 like this one is typically held by universities to fill seats that remain vacant after regular counselling and rollover rounds conclude. For AUD, this gives candidates who missed earlier deadlines, or who did not appear for CUET, one more structured opportunity to secure a seat in the 2026-27 academic session across the university’s undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
