Convocation ceremony

Convocation ceremony: Are students required to wear traditional gowns?

Authorities in colleges in the city are not sure if they have to ask students to come for the convocation ceremony, slated to be held in college premises on either January 24 or February 2, as instructed by Mumbai University, in formal gowns generally worn during the ceremony.

Authorities in colleges in the city are not sure if they have to ask students to come for the convocation ceremony, slated to be held in college premises on either January 24 or February 2, as instructed byMumbai University, in formal gowns generally worn during the ceremony.

While some colleges are worried about how they would get hold of enough gowns for their students, others are left wondering if it's mandatory or not for students to wear gowns for the ceremony, as there are no clear instructions from MU on the matter.

However, MU seems clear about it. For the varsity, it's just a ceremony being held to give away degree certificates, and hence students can come attired in normal clothes; but if colleges want, they can go ahead and hold a grand ceremony, gowns, caps and all!

Dr Harsha Mehta, principal, SIES College, said: "Our teachers are making inquiries whether students are required to wear gowns for the ceremony being held in the college. We are holding the event on Feb 2. I will only come to know on Friday whether students have to compulsorily wear gowns or not."

In the convocation ceremony normally held in Mumbai University campus, students wear the traditional gowns. This will be the first time that the ceremony is being held in college campuses, and hence the doubt on the dress code.

Kiran Mangaonkar, principal, Khalsa College, said: "I am not aware whether students attending this ceremony in college have to wear the traditional gowns or not. We haven't received any instruction on this."

Principal of KC College Manju Nichani said: "In the convocation ceremony held in University of Mumbai, it's mandatory to wear the traditional dress. But at a meeting, university officials have told colleges that since they had only been given a short notice on the ceremony, gown was not compulsory this year."

It's left to colleges
Dr MA Khan, registrar, Mumbai University, said: "The ceremony that is being held in colleges is not a convocation, but a degree certificate distribution ceremony. So, there is no compulsion to wear gowns. Colleges can organise the ceremony in a simple way or hold a grand function. It's left to them."

Mumbai varsity students to get e-marksheets from 2015

MUMBAI: Long queues will soon be a thing of the past for Mumbai University students as marksheets and convocation certificates will now be available online.

The varsity will introduce an online database of marksheets and convocation certificates through the National Academic Depository (NAD), an initiative of the Union ministry of human resource development. Marksheets of alumni will also be uploaded on to the database.

The varsity is the first to participate in the Centre's NAD system. Currently, only the Andhra Pradesh Teachers' eligibility test and the CBSE are using it on pilot basis.

"We will ensure that alumni has access to the depository," said controller of examination Dinesh Bhonde.

The varsity will key in all student data and their certificates will be linked to the database. Every student will register with the NAD and will be able to obtain records after verification of identity. The depository will also facilitate a hassle-free verification process. Universities, embassies and employers, who want to verify marksheets and transcript certificates submitted by the candidate, will be able do so through the website and email by paying a fee and with the candidate's consent. "Security and authenticity of marksheets are of prime importance in a competitive world. Education has to learn to integrate high-end security processes adopted by businesses," said vice-chancellor Rajan Welukar.
