The university’s academic calendar, issued at the beginning of the year, had earmarked Oct 11 for the degree-awarding ceremony, but the date passed without the event taking place. Nagpur: For the second consecutive time, Nagpur University (NU) has failed to hold its convocation as scheduled.
NU had accordingly scheduled the ceremony for Oct 11.
Sources said April is considered too late for the convocation, while August is generally too early, as the university is still processing examination results and revaluation applications. Oct is considered a more suitable window, allowing the examination cycle to progress before degrees are awarded.
It was eventually held in Jan 2026. NU has three important dates on its annual calendar: Aug 4, its foundation day; April 30, the birth anniversary of Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj, after whom the university is named; and Oct 11, his death anniversary.
The university had also failed to hold its convocation on time earlier, with the ceremony repeatedly postponed for administrative reasons and the absence of a full-time vice-chancellor.
