After a short gap of seven months, University of Mysore is ready for yet another convocation as it is its 102nd annual convocation on March 22 where it is conferring degrees on 28,581 candidates with women outshining the men this year too, like every other year.
The last convocation was held in September last year as the event had to be delayed owing to COVID-19. “This year, the convocation is well on time like it used to be in pre-COVID-19 days, and we hope the schedule of holding convocations in March or April continues in the years ahead. I personally feel that convocations must be held in December,” said Vice-Chancellor G. Hemantha Kumar.
He told reporters that Governor and Pro-Chancellor Thawaarchand Gehlot will declare the convocation open while NAAC Director S.C. Sharma will deliver the convocation address at 11 a.m.
