Nagpur University to hold convocation on July 9, check details here
During the convocation ceremony, Nagpur University will also confer a prestigious Doctor of Law (LLD) on former Chief Justice of India Sharad Bobde.
The Nagpur University will be conducting its much-awaited convocation on July 9 at Vasantrao Deshpande Hall. The convocation has been delayed by over two and half months due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in the country. During the convocation ceremony, Nagpur University will also confer a prestigious Doctor of Law (LLD) on former Chief Justice of India Sharad Bobde.
Chancellor Bhagar Singh Koshyari has consented to preside over the ceremony where only 40-50 persons will be allowed due to Covid-19 restrictions. The university will be bestowing about 180 medals and prizes on the students, but they wouldn’t be allowed to enter the venue.
Earlier, NU had decided to conduct two separate convocations — special for awarding LLD to the ex-CJI on April 11 and regular for the students after that. However, due to the imposition of lockdown, both ceremonies were deferred.
“We’ve recently received consent from the chancellor for holding the ceremony. He would be physically arriving in the city to preside over it. Even the ex-CJI had agreed for the same date. So, we’ve decided to hold both ceremonies together,” pro-VC Sanjay Dudhe.
Endorsing him, Board of Examinations and Evaluation (BOEE) director Prafulla Sable said, VC Subhash Chaudhari had instructed him to start preparations for the big event that included preparing list of the students receiving PhDs, gold and silver medals and prizes.
The University has three Constituent Colleges/Institutions (Law College, Laxminarayan Institute of Technology, and College of Education). It has four faculties: Science and Technology, Commerce and Management, Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies. These have 36 departments and there are 12 other departments and centres.
