DAVV warns colleges of delays in submitting marks

Time of India2 days ago
Indore: As Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) gears up for a fresh phase of examinations from August 19, the university has issued a stern warning to its affiliated colleges against any delay in submitting marks for exams.
The move comes in the wake of past incidents where late submission of marks caused significant delays in result declarations, inconveniencing thousands of students.
The university declared the results for the third and fourth years in July and released the supplementary examination schedule in the first week of August. The third-year exams will be held between August 19 and September 1, while the fourth-year exams will take place from August 19 to 23.
According to officials, 1,200 students have applied so far for the supplementary exams.
However, with special permission, forms can be filled until August 15. The examination centres will be finalised next week, and the exams will be conducted under the supervision of observers.
Examination controller Dr Ashesh Tiwari stated that the number of students in the fourth-year supplementary exams is low, whereas third-year students are still in the process of filling their exam forms.
He added that flying squads will also keep a watch at the centres.
DAVV has instructed the colleges that if this deadline is missed, leading to delayed or withheld results, the responsibility will rest entirely with the respective college management. The university has stressed that such procedural delays will not be tolerated this year.
In addition, the viva and internal examinations for the MEd fourth semester will be conducted in physical mode, and marks for former regular and ATKT students must be submitted by the third week of August through MP Online. Colleges must also provide complete details of supervisors to the examination department and confidential branch, with any violation likely to invite strict action.
The directive also addresses concerns over recurring rule violations in smaller examinations, where external influence has allegedly allowed colleges to bypass norms.

15% MBA specialised management courses vacant despite four rounds of counselling

Indore: Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya's flagship MBA programmes saw full enrolment through CUET PG admissions. But several specialised management courses continued to face low response even after four rounds of counselling. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now University data shows that MBA programmes in marketing management, human resource management, financial administration, financial services, and business economics filled all available seats. However, seven other specialisations — e-commerce, tourism, foreign trade, business analysis, computer management, entrepreneurship, and media management — still have over 15% of seats vacant. This year, DAVV offered 1,450 seats across 24 CUET PG courses. The first counselling round saw 1,400 registrations and the second about 300, but admissions closed at around 800 seats after the first two rounds. Even an offline counselling session failed to fill vacancies in niche MBA courses. The university CUET admissions coordinator Rajesh Sharma said that the shortfall was partly due to fewer candidates from Madhya Pradesh qualifying in CUET PG. "These specialised courses require greater awareness and interest among aspirants. Without that, enrolment remains a challenge despite repeated counselling," he said. To address the issue, the university has announced departmental-level college level counselling (CLC) for the remaining seats. The process will also allow fresh applicants who did not register earlier to participate. The trend underscores a widening preference gap between conventional MBA streams and emerging specialisations. Experts suggest that targeted outreach, stronger industry linkages, and better career counselling will be essential to enhance the appeal of such courses in the coming years. "We hope with the department level counselling, the remaining seats will be filled," added Sharma.

Upgrade project on hold, DAVV shifts focus to repairing existing buildings

Indore: Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya's (DAVV) much-awaited infrastructure expansion on the Takshashila campus has hit yet another pause, as the university has shifted its focus from constructing new buildings to maintaining and optimising its existing ones. The Rs 153-crore project, which was approved last year as part of the varsity's Vision 2030 plan, is now stuck in repeated reviews. Vice-chancellor Prof Rakesh Singhai said the decision was made after closely inspecting the current state of university facilities. "After visiting all departments, I noticed that the existing buildings are not being maintained. Some walls are damaged, and certain departments operate from very old structures that need urgent repairs. We have shifted our priority to maintaining these first," he told TOI. Prof Singhai also highlighted underutilised spaces as a major concern. "Many departments have extra rooms being used as storehouses for old files, papers, and even electronic waste. We plan to clear such spaces and use them productively. Terrace areas can also be repurposed, reducing the need for entirely new constructions. The focus is now on making the most of our current infrastructure," added the VC. The varsity's Takshashila campus upgrade, planned last year in collaboration with the Indore Development Authority (IDA), aimed to construct new buildings for four major teaching departments: the International Institute of Professional Studies (Rs 31 crore), School of Law (Rs 8 crore), School of Economics (Rs 19 crore), and School of Social Sciences (Rs 11 crore). The expansion would have doubled classroom capacity for some departments and added over 15,000 square metres of academic space. Additional plans included a Rs 23-crore Central Research Instrumentation Center under the PM Usha Scheme, housing the IT Centre and Data Science Department, a Rs 2.5-crore 300-seat auditorium, and a Rs 2.7-crore administrative block at the Nalanda campus. The previous administration under former VC Prof Renu Jain decided to execute Rs 99 crore of the works through IDA, with the rest handled by other agencies. Funding was to come from fixed deposits worth Rs 57 crore from IIPS, Rs 25 crore from other departments, and Rs 15 crore from the PM Usha Scheme. However, the tendering process was halted by Prof Singhai with a plan to rework the designs of the building, focusing more on vertical buildings instead of constructing buildings horizontally to utilise space. "The revised plan for the construction is ready. However, after the thorough evaluation of the departments and existing infrastructure, a decision will be taken on the construction of new buildings," said Prof Singhai. While the administration assures that the pause is strategic and cost-effective, concerns remain over how soon DAVV's long-delayed infrastructure dreams will take shape.
