DAVV PG admission draws low registrations
Indore: Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) closed registrations for PG admissions through CUET-PG scores on Thursday, but the unexpectedly low number of applications raised serious concerns. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Against 1,450 available seats, the university received just over 1,500 registrations—despite a record 86,000 candidates selecting DAVV courses as their preference during the CUET-PG application process. The stark contrast between the number of students who initially showed interest and those who ultimately registered left the university administration puzzled. This is especially surprising considering the rising demand for certain courses like MBA (Finance), MBA (Marketing), and MBA (Business Economics), which consistently attracted aspirants in recent years. However, demand for several other courses appears to have dropped significantly. This year marks DAVV's first attempt at conducting PG counselling entirely online. The university will release the first seat allotment list on June 24. Students allotted seats must report to the campus between June 30 and July 2 to verify documents and submit fees. Despite low registrations, the varsity is not planning to extend the deadline for registrations. "We will not be extending the deadline now as the online counselling schedule will be hampered," said DAVV admissions committee member, Dr Yogendra Bawal. The admission process will now move to the merit list preparation stage, which will take place from June 6 to 10, followed by the release of the list on June 12. Students can complete online choice filling from June 13 to 19. Despite CUET-PG 2025 seeing a nationwide surge in participation—with 6.55 lakh applicants—DAVV's low turnout is being viewed as part of a wider trend where non-CUET courses have also seen fewer students opting for admission. Experts believe this may reflect broader shifts in student preferences or confusion around the online counselling process. Notably, last year only 42,000 students selected DAVV through CUET-PG, compared to 86,000 this year. The university anticipated tough competition, but the actual figures fell far short of expectations. DAVV offers 24 PG courses across more than 10 teaching departments, including sought-after programs like MA Clinical Psychology, Sociology, and Political Science.

CUET-PG 2025: HC sends notice to Centre, NTA, UGC as student challenges answer key
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued notice to the central government, National Testing Agency (NTA), and University Grants Commission (UGC) on a petition challenging the final answer key and result of the CUET-PG 2025 Political Science examination. The court has directed that admissions to the course in question will remain subject to the outcome of the case. The petition has been filed by Gurshaan Singh Cheema, who appeared for the CUET-PG 2025 Political Science exam conducted on March 11. Cheema has sought the setting aside of the provisional answer key published on April 24, the final answer key released on May 6, and the result and score sheet issued the same day. The petitioner has specifically contested the correctness of Question ID 7311302427, which required arranging four constitutional amendments in chronological order. Cheema claimed the final answer key retained what he alleges is a factually incorrect answer. According to the petition, Cheema lost five marks due to the incorrect key — both due to lack of credit for the correct answer and negative marking for selecting an answer different from the one listed. This, he argues, has significantly impacted his rank and eligibility for admission. The plea seeks a revised answer key with the correct response and a fresh result based on it. The division bench of Chief Justice Sheel Nagu and Justice Sumeet Goel, in its May 27 order, directed that all admissions to the course will remain subject to the outcome of the petition. The court also directed the respondents to inform both selected candidates and those appearing for counselling about the pendency of the case. The matter will next be heard on July 3. Respondents have been granted time to file their replies.

CUET-PG 2025 result delay halts DU admissions, leaves thousands of aspirants in limbo
Thousands of postgraduate aspirants find themselves stranded as Delhi University (DU) remains unable to begin its admissions for the 2025–26 academic session. The cause: the delay in CUET-PG results, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). #Pahalgam Terrorist Attack India strikes hard! New Delhi bans all imports from Pakistan How Pakistan is preparing for the worst as India weighs response If India attacks Pakistan, China & B'desh should seize 7 NE states, says Yunus' aide The provisional answer key was released in the third week of April, sparking hopes that results would soon follow. But as May begins, there's still no update. Last year, PG admissions at DU had already started by 25 April. A university official confirmed in a TOI report, 'Over 13,000 seats across 82 PG programmes will be filled based on CUET-PG scores. The university expected the results to be declared by the end of April so that the admission process could begin in the first week of May.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 4 Popular Types Of Modular Homes - Take A Look At Advantages explorenest Learn More Undo Since 2023, CUET has been the sole route for PG admissions at DU. The current delay has brought everything to a halt. Mounting frustration and fears of missed deadlines For students, the wait is more than just inconvenient—it's mentally draining and academically disruptive. Many are worried about missing opportunities elsewhere. Live Events 'I'm worried I might miss deadlines for other universities. Everything feels uncertain right now,' said Avinash, a psychology applicant told TOI. Another student added, 'I've lined up applications for scholarships and other programmes, but everything is on hold. This is mentally exhausting.' Aspirants have taken to social media to vent their frustration. Some feel the delay reveals deeper biases. 'The JEE Main 2025 results were declared promptly—so why are we still waiting?' asked one aspirant. 'It feels like students from humanities and social sciences are being sidelined.'

CUET-PG 2025: What we know so far The CUET-PG 2025 exam was held from 13 March to 1 April. Over 4.2 lakh candidates appeared for the test across India. It serves as the gateway to PG and professional programmes at more than 190 universities—central, state, private, and deemed. This year, the exam was conducted as a computer-based test with a 90-minute duration. Candidates answered questions in their chosen domain subjects. The provisional answer key was released in April. According to the NTA, the final result will be declared in the form of a scorecard and will reflect subject-wise marks. The results will be based on the final answer key, and students will need login credentials to access them. The NTA has yet to confirm an exact release date. However, based on past patterns, results were expected in the last week of April or early May. In 2024, results were declared on 13 April, and in 2023 on 20 July. Once the scorecards are released, participating universities will announce their individual cut-offs based on applications and overall performance. The delay has ripple effects far beyond DU. Central and private universities across the country are unable to proceed with admissions. Students are losing valuable time, and academic calendars may need to be reworked. The NTA is expected to release a press statement soon. But for now, lakhs of students remain in limbo, refreshing websites and hoping for clarity. Until then, their future plans—be it admissions, scholarships, or placements—are stuck in pause mode.
