Ambedkar University Delhi to introduce new courses for the 2026

Dr BR Ambedkar University Delhi has announced the introduction of new academic programs for the 2026 to 27 session, including five fresh courses and one-year postgraduate programs across multiple disciplines.

The expansion was outlined during a press conference at the Kashmere Gate campus, where officials said the upcoming admission cycle will significantly broaden the university’s academic offerings.

“New postgraduate programs such as MA in Creative Writing and MA in Performing Arts (Theatre Arts), along with undergraduate programs like BA in Museology, Culture, and Heritage Management, among the first of their kind in India at the university level, are being introduced from this session,” officials said.

In addition, the university will introduce BA Visual Arts and BSc Mathematics. The mathematics program has been restructured from BA Hons Mathematics and will now include a minor in data science and artificial intelligence.

“The university is also among the first in the country to introduce one-year postgraduate programs in disciplines such as psychology, English, Hindi, economics, sociology, history, and political science, in alignment with NEP 2020. Graduates of four-year BA programs from any university can apply based on CUET-PG scores,” officials said.

An official involved in admissions said postgraduate admissions are likely to begin soon, while undergraduate admissions will start after the declaration of CUET UG results.

“We are exploring a model where admissions for both two-year and one-year PG programs run simultaneously. Since this is the first year of the one-year format, the process will also help us understand application trends,” the official said.

Vice Chancellor Anu Singh Lather said the university has been at the forefront of academic innovation, having already adopted elements such as continuous evaluation, interdisciplinary learning, and flexible curricula in line with the National Education Policy 2020.

For the 2026 to 27 academic year, the university will offer more than 3000 seats across 78 undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs. Admissions will be conducted through CUET UG, CUET PG, and NCET via the university portal.

Officials said candidates will be able to apply for multiple programs through a single registration fee, with fee concessions for reserved categories.

“Financial assistance remains central to the university’s support system. A 100% fee waiver is provided to students from SC, ST, and PwBD categories, along with graded waivers for economically disadvantaged students,” they added.
