Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudy on Thursday blamed Governor-Chancellor R.N. Ravi for the delay in holding convocation to various State universities which has led to over nine lakh college students awaiting degree certificates despite having completed their courses.
According to him, 9,29,542 students from across 12 State-run universities, excluding Anna University, had not received their degrees owing to the delay in conducting the convocation.
The Minister told reporters in Chennai that the University of Madras had last conducted convocation on May 16, 2022, for candidates who graduated in 2021.
