This will probaly the last convocation ceremonty of the university considering that the Higher and Technical Education Department, Maharashtra decided to cancel the graduation ceremonies from various universities in the state this academic year which started in June 2023.
A convocation ceremony is conducted by the university to grant degrees and other awards to eligible students every academic year. The UGC had allowed universities to grant permission to big colleges under them to conduct convocations to avoid the rush when the parent varsities hold their ceremonies.
