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.

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.
