The online admission process for Ambedkar University’s undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the College of Art (COA) has begun, the university announced.

In April, DU had asked the College of Art to start its admission process, stating that it would not be recognized by the university. The Lieutenant Governor’s office had earlier given in-principle approval to the merger of the College of Arts with Ambedkar University, subject to de-affiliation from DU.
However, the Executive Council of Delhi University, its highest decision-making body, refused to terminate the college’s affiliation. In March last year, the Delhi government announced that the College of Arts would be affiliated to Ambedkar University, as the college was facing various problems.
Eleven teachers of DU’s Academics for Action and Development wrote to the vice-chancellor earlier this month seeking his intervention after the arts college started its admission process as a part of Ambedkar University. In a letter, 11 teachers, including members of DU’s executive council and academic council, said such “unfortunate action” by Ambedkar University was in violation of the Delhi University statute.
