Before the students arrived on campus, NU undertook a range of safety protocols, starting with pre-arrival Covid-19 tests, screening and sanitisation at the main gate to compulsory quarantining of all students upon arrival. A circular documenting all the precautions students must comply with was circulated before their arrival on campus and is implemented very stringently.

NU offers two modes of admission.

EAD refers to the early admission mode. Under EAD, students apply to their desired course before appearing for their Class XII board examinations.

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.
