Admissions at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in Indore are likely to run behind schedule this year, with the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) PG 2026 results now expected only in May, delaying the entire admission cycle and academic calendar.
CUET PG Results and Merit List Timeline
University officials stated that the CUET PG results, for exams held in March, are likely to be announced by early to mid-May. Following this, the university will require at least 20 days to prepare and release merit rankings. Counselling registration will begin only after this process, pushing PG counselling into June. Officials also pointed out that even after the results are declared, it takes nearly 15 days to receive complete candidate data, after which a meeting is convened to finalise counselling schedules and modalities.
Impact on Undergraduate Admissions
For undergraduate admissions, CUET UG 2026 examinations are scheduled from May 11 to May 31 at multiple centres, including Indore. The results are expected in July. The university will then need close to a month to release merit lists and open the counselling registration window. With this timeline, the new academic session is expected to commence only after August 15, indicating a delay of around one and a half months.
Key Departments and Integrated Programmes
Admissions to key departments such as the International Institute of Professional Studies (IIPS), Institute of Management Studies (IMS), School of Law, and School of Commerce, along with several integrated programmes, will be conducted through CUET. School of Commerce head Suresh Patidar said that most high-demand courses fall under this admission process.
Advice for Students
Yamini Karmarkar from IIPS advised students to register for counselling regardless of their rank, noting that multiple rounds often help candidates secure seats in preferred courses. Officials added that a large number of outstation candidates have applied this year, reflecting the university's growing national appeal.
