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.
