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.

PhD registration to begin from today, highest No. of seats in management & commerce
Indore: Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) is set to begin the registration process for PhD admissions from May 1. This year too, management and commerce continue to dominate with the highest number of seats, while subjects like political science, Hindi, and computer science have remained at the bottom in terms of seat availability. According to data released by the university, over 150 seats are expected in management, followed by nearly 75 in commerce. In contrast, subjects such as Hindi, sociology, and political science will offer only a limited number of seats. DAVV will be admitting candidates through two routes — NET qualification and entrance test — depending on the subject. For over 25 subjects, including law, economics, history, English, and education, NET-qualified candidates will be admitted on the basis of interviews conducted by the Research Advisory Committee (RAC). These candidates must register between May 1 and the date of the interview based on their June or Dec 2024 NET results. Meanwhile, an entrance examination for 13 engineering-related subjects will be held on June 16. Last year, out of 213 candidates who appeared for this exam, only 67 qualified for 142 available seats. Computer engineering had 27 seats but only 15 candidates qualified, while in pharmacy, just 14 cleared the test for 34 seats. "Management and commerce see more seats due to higher demand and faculty availability, traditional disciplines often have fewer guides, which limits intake," said Dr Ashesh Tiwari, PhD cell chairman, DAVV. In addition to admissions, PhD guides will be allowed to update their seat status from May 1 to 25. Those who were promoted can add two more seats to their supervision capacity. Despite the limited seats in several subjects, university officials expect a rise in applications this year. Experts have advised candidates to begin preparations early due to stiff competition, particularly in high-demand subjects like management, commerce, English, law, and education.

DAVV to introduce subject codes for upcoming exams to avoid confusion
Indore: Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) is set to implement a major change in its examination system from July onwards. To eliminate confusion caused by subjects having similar names, the university will now assign separate codes to each subject. These codes will be displayed alongside subject names in the examination timetable, ensuring greater clarity for students. The decision was taken under the directives of vice-chancellor Dr Rakesh Singhai after several complaints were received from students. With introduction of National Education Policy (NEP), the number of undergraduate subjects at DAVV exceeded 250, leading to instances where subjects with similar names caused confusion among examinees. In some cases, students even missed their exams due to misunderstandings regarding subject selection. A recent example involved BCom students who opted for Personal Tax Planning under the vocational stream, but, mistakenly appeared for the elective paper due to the similarity in subject titles. This issue was highlighted during a recent meeting convened to review examination and result-related concerns, prompting immediate administrative action. Controller of examinations Dr Ashesh Tiwari said the new coding system will be implemented for the undergraduate first-year examinations and postgraduate second and fourth semester exams scheduled from July. Vocational and elective subjects, though similarly titled, have entirely different syllabi—vocational subjects include both theory and practical components, while electives are theory-based only. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Leamington Spa: Born Between 1940-1975 You May Be Eligible For This Life Cover Reassured Get Quote Undo The university administration is confident that the introduction of subject codes will streamline the examination process and significantly reduce student grievances. Officials stated that the new system aims to provide a hassle-free experience for students and ensure that no candidate misses their examination due to subject-related confusion.
