Updated on: Saturday, November 03, 2012

Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) is all prepared to conduct the first ever entrance test for admission to doctoral research degree programmes on the coming Sunday.

Chairman of the PhD cell, Ganesh Kawadia informed that the university hadn't issued any admit cards to the students appearing in the test. "All the candidates will be allowed to enter the test centres with ID proofs which will be verified through their application forms," informed Kawadia.

Around 4200 candidates will take the test being conducted for 950 seats. The test will be held for 49 disciplines and will be conducted at the university teaching departments from 10 am to 1 pm.

About the nature of examination, Kawadia further said that the students will be given OMR sheets, which will be evaluated by computers except for a few subjects as the university hasn't been able to upload programmes on computers for all the 49 subjects due to time constraint.

He assured the entire process would be computerised from next time. The results would be announced on November 9. As per the UGC guideline, the entrance test is a must for PhD aspirants. The guideline came into effect in 2009 and was adopted by state universities from 2012 only.
