Dave, former Judge of Supreme Court of India to recommend him a panel of names suitable for appointment of Vice-Chancellor of the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University. Praveen Kumar, Director of National Institute of Technology, Delhi, and Bhushan Gagrani, Principal Secretary to the Government of Maharashtra were other members of the Committee. After taking charge as Pro-Vice Chancellor in 2015, Dr Yeole gave momentum to examination reforms which were not brought till then. RTMNU became digital in every sector. From on-line valuation to receipt of marksheet though computer, to on-line transportation of examination papers all changes have been brought under the leadership of Dr Yeole.

 

 

The Incubation Centre, too, has been initiated by Dr Yeole. Till his taking over as Pro-VC, the Examination Department had to face the morchas by students organisations for several issues including wrong marking system, delay in declaring results, non-receipt of answersheet photocopies, faults in certificates, degrees etc. Now, everything has streamlined. It was Dr Pramod Yeole who also streamlined the Ph D process. Because of his disciplinary approach the number of Ph D aspirants were reduced after the test and interviews and he was targeted by some groups. But, he stuck to his principle. Because of his inclination towards quality he suffered a lot and lost chances of becoming V-C at other universities. People from all sectors have hailed the decision of his appointment. They felt Government has given the justice to his outstanding performance.
