Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) has outdone the Delhi University (DU) in terms of cut-offs for undergraduate programmes in 2017. The cut-off for some of the programmes, including commerce and science, offered to students outside the National Capital Territory (NCT) was 100%.
The first cut-off for admission to Ambedkar University Delhi was released on Wednesday, July 5, 2017. The cut-off for commerce students outside NCT seeking admission in BA (Hons.) in Sociology, History and Psychology is 100%. Also, students from science background seeking admission in BA (Hons.) Sociology must have a perfect score.
However, students of arts background will be at an advantage during admissions 2017 as the cut-off for them is 4% less than the cut-off for students of science background and 5% less than the cut-off for students of commerce background for all subjects.
