Indore University Announces Final Non-NEP Postgraduate ATKT Examination Schedule
Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in Indore has officially announced the schedule for the Non-NEP postgraduate ATKT (Allowed To Keep Term) examinations, marking the conclusive opportunity for students enrolled under the old academic framework. This significant move represents the university's final examination cycle under the previous system before fully transitioning to the New Education Policy (NEP).
Examination Dates and Last Chance for Students
The university has decided to conduct the postgraduate first-semester ATKT examinations from February 3 to February 9. According to university officials, this examination window provides the ultimate chance for students who were unable to clear their first-semester papers under the earlier academic pattern. The courses covered in this examination include:
- Master of Arts (MA)
- Master of Commerce (MCom)
- Master of Science (MSc)
- Master of Home Science (MHSSc)
University authorities have made it explicitly clear that no extension or repeat opportunity will be provided beyond this examination window, emphasizing the finality of this chance for affected students.
Transition to New Education Policy Framework
Following this examination cycle, all postgraduate examinations at DAVV will be conducted exclusively under the New Education Policy framework. DAVV Controller of Examinations Ashesh Tiwari stated that the university took this decisive step to bring a clear closure to the Non-NEP system and ensure a smooth transition to the updated academic structure.
"Students should treat this as a final opportunity," emphasized Tiwari. "The academic structure has now fully transitioned to the NEP framework, and this move will help streamline the examination process while eliminating overlapping systems."
Examination Preparation and Guidelines
The examination schedule has been carefully planned with consecutive papers on fixed dates, requiring students to prepare well in advance. To ensure the smooth conduct of these final Non-NEP examinations, DAVV has already issued comprehensive guidelines to all affiliated colleges and examination centers.
These detailed instructions cover several critical aspects:
- Proper seating arrangements for examination halls
- Supervision protocols for invigilators
- Evaluation norms and standards
- Compliance with university rules and regulations
The university has implemented these measures specifically to avoid any disruption during the examination period and ensure fair assessment practices.
Broader Implementation of New Education Policy
University officials explained that this transition aligns with DAVV's broader efforts to implement the New Education Policy across all academic programs in a uniform and systematic manner. The NEP-based system introduces several significant changes to higher education, including:
- Revised and updated curricula across disciplines
- Continuous assessment methodologies
- Flexible learning pathways for students
- Multidisciplinary approach to education
Students appearing for these ATKT examinations have been strongly advised to check their respective timetables carefully and adhere strictly to all guidelines issued by the university. The examinations are expected to conclude by February 9, thereby clearing the way for the complete adoption of the NEP system in all postgraduate courses at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya.
This transition represents a significant milestone in DAVV's academic evolution, marking the end of one educational era and the beginning of another under the New Education Policy framework that promises to reshape higher education standards and methodologies across the institution.
