The seats for the BA programme at LD Arts College number at about 200-300 which are in conformity with Gujarat University's norms of capacity allowed for affiliated colleges. Precise figures would depend on specializations established; many seats are going to follow popular trends in terms of number of seats, i.e., English or Psychology will distinguish itself by 60-80 each, while the lesser popular ones like Sociology and History would go 40-60 each.

Seats may increase if pressure grows, rooted in faculty or infrastructure. Withdrawal percentages from these and other reserve category students (OBCs/SCs/STs) allocated by the government account for close to fifty percent of the total intake. 

The UG fee structure of LD Arts College is that of any government-aided college, which is very much within reach. For BA courses, the annual charges are between INR 2,000 and INR 5,000, according to the field of study (like English, Economics).

A bit more than this would be required to study B.Com., with values ranging between INR 3,000 and INR 6,000 per annum. Any other miscellaneous expenses will be exam fees (arising between INR 500 and 1,000) or borrowings from the library. The layer of subsidies provided for local students at the Gujarat University keeps the fee such that it becomes accessible for them; categories reserved under this will be paying even less. 

LD Arts College, affiliated with Gujarat University, does not have a stringent entrance exam requirement for the BA course. Entry is more based on merit and one's 10+2 percentage from recognised boards-CBSE/ISC/Gujarat Board. Differs as General category students typically have 60-65%, while reserve categories like SC/ST/OBC could go in the range of 50-60% based on past cut-off marks.

There will not be any standardized tests like the one conducted in CUET in 2024, and things may change in a later date. The selection majorly is dependent on the performance in arts or related subjects, with the requirement of passing the final year. This provision indicates that the admission process is quite simple

The latest cutoff for open merit BA admissions at LD Arts College in 2024, based on the merit system of Gujarat University, was 60-65% for general category students in the 10+2 examination.

In reserved categories like OBC, cutoff marks were set around 55-60% with SC/ST having a range of 50-55% whichever the cut was from the stream (Arts, Commerce). Such figures are past trends as the particulars for 2024 are not fully available yet.

The cutoffs fluctuate depending on the total number of applicants and number of seats available (usually 200-300 seats). For 2025 similar ranges can be expected, but final lists will be dependent on the board result and merit computation, which will be declared in mid-year.
