Actually, the disk has been shared with us by one of our professors.
It
has been provided in qcow2, vmdk and raw formats, still the result was
the same. I don't actually know which exact version is it, I just know
the version is "3".

I will provide the link off-list because it belongs to the professor.

Yes, I also tried these steps with the same result.

Actually, the professor also provided the OVA from which he extracted
the disk files and the import process in oVirt worked with no issues.
I
can now boot the VM, not sure what difference made the OVA but now it
works.
Great that you solved this issue.
For the benefit of the community, can you explain how you imported the
OVA?
I uploaded the OVA to one of the hosts. Then in the GUI, went to Compute
> Virtual Machines and chose the '...' icon on the right, and clicked on 'Import'. As the source, I chose "Virtual Appliance (OVA)" and wrote down the path of the OVA I uploaded before. Then I just dragged the VM to the right and clicked ok, the import process went perfectly.
Thanks.
Regards.
