Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Gone are the days when Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) would take one exam in a single day for admission to its professional courses.

Now, a week-long exam would be conducted as DAVV has scrapped its common entrance test (CET) and opted for common university entrance test (CUET) which will be conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA).

“As CUET will be conducted for multiple subjects, NTA officials have informed us that at least a seven-day window would be provided for students to take the exam,” said DAVV admission cell coordinator Kanhaiya Ahuja.

The NTA is going to conduct CUET in 27 domains and 13 languages, mostly regional languages including Hindi, English, Urdu, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Odiya, Bengali, Assamese, and Punjabi.

Besides, there will be a choice of 20 other languages as subject viz French, Spanish, German, Nepali, Persian, Italian, Arabic, Sindhi, Sanskrit, Kashmiri, Konkani, Bodo, Dogri, Maithili, Manipuri, Santhali, Tibetan, Japanese, Russian, Chinese.

“DAVV has chosen the English language as the medium of exam. We have also conducted our entrance exams in English language so we have chosen it as the medium of exam,” Ahuja said.

As of now, only Group B and Group C part of CUET

DAVV divides its professional courses into three groups viz Group A, Group B, and Group C. While Group A consists of postgraduate programmes, Group B comprises mainly after-school courses in commerce and management streams. Besides, Group C consists of after-school courses in science and engineering disciplines. As of now, NTA included courses under Group B and Group C in CUET. DAVV claimed that NTA has given consent for including courses in Group A as well but its official announcement has yet not been made.

Not all questions to be attempted

In CET, the students were required to attempt all questions asked in the exam. In CUET, there will be a choice. The CUET will consist of 4 sections: Section IA (13 Languages), Section IB (20 Languages), Section-II (27 domain specific subjects) and Section-III (General Test).
