DAV Principal Hunt Halted: Controversy Clouds Selection Process
The selection process for the new principal of DAV College has been thrown into disarray following a last-minute objection against a shortlisted candidate. The interview, scheduled for August 5, 2025, was abruptly cancelled despite the presence of twenty-two applicants.
A formal complaint alleges that an ineligible candidate was included in the final shortlist. This raises serious questions about the transparency and fairness of the selection procedure.
The controversy comes on the heels of the previous principal’s controversial departure and questions surrounding the process of their appointment. The postponement leaves the college without a permanent head, impacting academic administration and student welfare.
This incident highlights the urgent need for greater accountability and transparency in the appointment of key academic positions. The credibility of the institution is at stake, demanding a thorough investigation and a fair, unbiased selection process moving forward. The future of the college hinges on restoring faith in its leadership selection procedures.
