NU offers two modes of admission. EAD refers to the Early Admission mode. Under EAD, students apply to their desired programme before appearing for their Class XII board examinations. EAD continues till class XII result declaration date (CBSE board). RAD is the Regular Admission mode. Under RAD, students apply to NU once their Class XII board examination results are declared, which is when the usual admission season commences. A student can apply through either mode, it won’t affect their chances of selection.

By completing the admission earlier through EAD, students get to focus completely on their Class XII board examinations and also for their National Entrance Exam.
