Mumbai University convocation today after a 3-month delay

Mumbai: After a delay of over three months, the annual convocation of Mumbai University is being held on Saturday. However, students will still have to wait longer before they get their degree certificates.For, as opposed to the age-old practice of giving certificates prior to the convocation, acting vice-chancellor Chandra Krishnamurthy is of the opinion that certificates should be distributed only after conferment of degrees in the convocation.

“The certificates can be distributed only after degrees are conferred. I cannot comment on what happened earlier, but this is how it should be done. The convocation ceremony is held in the evening; how many students will wait for their degrees?” said Krishnamurthy. “It will be more convenient for students to collect the certificates from their colleges instead of coming all the way to the university campus.”
