Disparity in mark weightage for JRF & NET: PhD aspirants
Hyderabad: PhD aspirants, research scholars and student organisations have submitted a petition to Osmania University , demanding equal weightage for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and National Eligibility Test (NET) holders in admissions. They argue that, even under category 2 admissions, which are open to students with JRF, NET and State Eligibility Test (SET) qualifications, candidates with JRF qualifications are given an unfair advantage. "Under category 1 admissions, only JRF students are admitted. They have the opportunity to apply once every six months. Now, in category 2, OU is giving them an extra 5 marks, which will give them an unfair advantage. How is this fair?" asked Satya Nelli, a research scholar. He added that, during the 2022–23 admissions, both JRF and NET candidates were awarded 15 marks. However, this year, JRF candidates have been given an additional five marks. They urged the university to rectify the disparity in the weighting of marks allocated to JRF and NET holders under category 2 PhD admissions for the 2025 academic year. They claim that the recent change imposes an additional barrier for NET/SET holders, who are only eligible under category 2, as they now face a further disadvantage due to the unequal marking system.

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.
