DAVV warns colleges of delays in submitting marks
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.

Separate calendars to end exam date confusion
Indore: In a move aimed at bringing clarity and predictability to students' academic schedules, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) has, for the first time, introduced three separate academic calendars for its 34 University Teaching Departments (UTDs). The decision is expected to particularly benefit students juggling competitive exams, internships, and coursework, as it eliminates uncertainty in exam and result timelines. University officials said the new system addresses a persistent issue caused by overlapping admission and examination schedules in recent years. Since DAVV joined the Central University Entrance Test (CUET) in 2022, the admission process for CUET-based courses stretched into late August or even September, often clashing with non-CUET and engineering course timelines. This left students unclear about when exams would be held and results declared, making it difficult to plan further studies or competitive exam preparations. Under the revised arrangement, over 100 non-CUET courses will hold first-semester examinations between November 25 and December 15, with results declared within seven days. JEE-based engineering courses at the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) will conduct exams from December 5 to 24, also with a one-week result window.

These results too will be declared within seven days."This ensures that every student knows exactly when their exams, results, and review processes will take place," said Controller of Exam Dr Ashesh Tiwari. "It will also help them schedule competitive exam preparation, internships, and other academic activities without last-minute changes." Students have welcomed the step, calling it a much-needed fix. The calendars will soon be available on university's website. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

350 DAVV PhD seats likely to stay vacant
Indore: Over 350 PhD seats at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) are expected to remain vacant this academic session, primarily due to the low number of candidates qualifying for the National Eligibility Test (NET) and poor response in the interview rounds. The vacant seats include over 300 from Non-DET (Direct Interview Based) courses across 25 subjects and nearly 70 seats in 13 engineering disciplines. In several subjects, the number of applicants reaching the Research Advisory Committee (RAC) interview stage was significantly lower than the number of available seats. In commerce, one of the highest intake subjects with 125 seats, only 15 candidates appeared for the interview, leaving around 110 seats vacant. Similarly, for 282 seats in management, only 100 candidates were called, indicating that at least 182 seats are likely to remain unfilled. The situation is similar in engineering, where only 51 candidates were expected for 111 seats, and even fewer turned up, resulting in around 70 vacant positions. Notably, 35 research guides across 10 subjects currently have no research scholars under their mentorship, despite having 4 to 8 seats allocated to each. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Family takes a photo on their vacation. Undo Most of these guides belong to commerce, management, and other less-subscribed fields. DAVV PhD Cell in-charge Dr Ashesh Tiwari said that the next round of PhD admissions is expected to begin post-Diwali in November-December. The process will consider NET-qualified candidates from the June 2024 and upcoming December 2025 sessions. Meanwhile, concerns have emerged about subjects like political science, where 125 NET-qualified candidates competed for zero seats this year. Educationists question whether such high-demand candidates will get opportunities in next cycle, given the limited intake and growing competition.

PhD seats reduced as DAVV excludes 58 guides for incomplete documentation
Indore: DAVV significantly reduced the number of available PhD seats for the upcoming admission cycle after excluding 58 faculty guides for failing to complete the required documentation. The total number of seats under the non-DET (Doctoral Entrance Test exempted) category dropped from 524 to 336, marking a reduction of 188 seats. The university administration found that several guides did not upload appointment-related documents under College Code 28, making it unclear whether they are Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, or Professors. Additionally, some guides did not follow the prescribed format for submitting documents. As per UGC norms, Professors can guide up to eight scholars, Associate Professors six, and Assistant Professors four. Since seat allocation is linked to the rank of the guide, incomplete records led to their removal. Most of the excluded guides belonged to the Commerce and Management faculties. DAVV provided a final seven-day window for these guides to submit the necessary documents. If they fulfil the requirements within this period, their names may be added to the final list. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dieses Hörgerät kann 2025 alles verändern Gutes Hören Undo PhD cell in-charge Dr Ashesh Tiwari said that only guides who comply fully with the documentation process and eligibility norms will be included. The university is committed to following due process to maintain the transparency and credibility of PhD admissions. Competition among PhD aspirants remains intense. As of the May 30 application deadline, more than 530 candidates applied for the 336 non-DET seats across 22 subjects. For DET (Doctoral Entrance Test) subjects, particularly in engineering, 89 seats are available across 10 subjects, with applications already exceeding double the number of available seats. The entrance examination for DET subjects is scheduled for June 16. Senior educationists said that Management and Commerce continue to receive the highest number of applications, and the reduction in guides has had a notable impact on these popular subjects.

DAVV to recheck MBA answersheets after mass failures in two subjects
Indore: Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) on Thursday initiated a re-evaluation process of answersheets for two MBA first-semester subjects — Quantitative Techniques and Accounts for Managers — after a significant number of students failed in these papers. The move comes after a wave of complaints from students, who raised concerns over possible discrepancies in evaluation. In the recently declared MBA results, a majority of students failed in only these two subjects, prompting the university to suspect lapses in the checking process. Taking the objections seriously, the university has begun scrutinising both, the marksheets and the answersheets. "The unusual pattern of failure, restricted to only two subjects, has raised valid concerns. We are re-checking the answersheets to ensure there was no error in evaluation," said Dr Ashesh Tiwari, DAVV examination controller. In addition to evaluation concerns, students of the second and fourth semesters faced logistical challenges when their ATKT and main exams were scheduled at the same time. After receiving complaints, the university revised the exam schedule. Now, instead of the morning slot, the overlapping papers will be held from 3 to 6 PM, eliminating the clash. Third-semester students also encountered technical difficulties while applying for revaluation. The link on the official website was non-functional for a period, preventing them from submitting applications. The issue has since been resolved.
