Dr Oak was working as Commissioner of Common Entrance Test cell and he was also given the charge of DTE for some days.
The reliable sources said that though the names of Dr Abhay Wagh and Dr S K Mahajan were making rounds, the higher authority is keen to select Dr Wagh. The post was not filled for the last 7 years. Even Dr Mahajan was working on adhoc basis. Now the post will be full time. It remains to be seen as to who will head the DTE. The name is likely to be declared after Diwali.
