NEW DELHI: The HRD Ministry has written to all universities mandating them to carry convocation yearly after few universities have been discovered skipping the event.
"Convocation ceremonies must be held regularly and degrees awarded annually as the event carries a huge significance for graduating students and is a moment of pride for their families," a senior HRD Ministry authentic said.
"It was found that some universities were not doing the exercise regularly due to either financial or time constraints. However, they are supposed to do it every year," the authentic added.
The Ministry has also asked all universities to ship details of the final convocation held via them.
For instance, West Bengal's Visva Bharati University held its convocation in May after 5 years.
The Central University of Tripura held its convocation after 4 years this year where they awarded degrees to all students from the final 4 years.
Forty-six years after its first and best convocation, the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) held its 2d convocation this year.
