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.

Over 700 candidates register for DAVV PhD admissions, deadline extended
Indore: Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) received over 700 registrations for admission in PhD courses. The university is conducting the PhD admissions in two parts — National Eligibility Test (NET) based for various courses and Doctoral Entrance Test for engineering and pharmacy courses, DET is scheduled for June 16. It's the second time in a single academic session that the university is conducting admissions for doctoral programmes. The university extended the registration deadline to May 30 to accommodate more aspirants. The highest number of seats this year are available in management stream, which has 185 seats under the guidance of 49 research supervisors. Commerce follows with 111 seats and 27 guides. In contrast, subjects like biochemistry and economics have only three seats each. Despite the limited seats, economics has seen a sharp rise in demand, which could lead to stiff competition. For PhD admissions through UGC-NET qualifications, 519 candidates registered for 524 seats across 22 subjects. These include English literature, electronics, law, life sciences, Hindi literature, physical education, and others, with a total of 168 recognised research supervisors. For engineering disciplines, where admissions are through DET, 173 candidates registered for just 89 seats. Among these, pharmacy has the highest availability with 30 seats, while data science offers only one seat. Other streams like applied mathematics, applied physics, computer engineering, information technology, and mechanical engineering have limited seats and guides, adding to the competition. Experts believe the shift to NET-based PhD admissions in 22 subjects has raised the academic standards. Educationists said that NET ensures quality candidates, as it is one of the most challenging exams in the country. However, even after clearing NET, candidates will have to pass the rigorous Research Advisory Committee interviews in over 15 subjects to secure final admission. With varying seat availability across subjects, candidates may face intense competition in some areas, while finding easier entry in others. The main admission process will commence in June.
