Managements react to new graduation ceremony norms

Staff Reporter

COIMBATORE: The Association of Management of Private Colleges, Tamil Nadu, has come up with some suggestions to be incorporated in the new graduation ceremony norms laid down by the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education (TANSCHE) recently.

The association has welcomed certain norms that will ensure uniformity and timely issue of degree certificates during graduation ceremonies in colleges.

The association’s president M. Aruchami, in a letter to A. Ramasami, Vice-Chairman of TANSCHE, pointed out that most of the universities conducted their graduation ceremonies only after a year after the results were published.

This affected the graduates who went abroad for studies and also those who picked up jobs.

“The new guidelines of the TANSCHE must make it mandatory that all affiliating universities must hold their graduation within two months of the publication of results and ensure that the degree certificates reached the colleges within a month to enable the colleges to conduct the graduation day soon,” Mr. Aruchami has pleaded.

He has requested the universities to include three dates in the university calendar: publication of results, date of university graduation and despatch of degree certificates to colleges.

“If this is done as per the schedule the colleges will be able to efficiently implement the norms.”

Opposing the guideline that stipulated the graduation day to be held within 15 days of the receipt of degree certificates from colleges, he said it should be relaxed to one or two months.

“The process of intimating the candidates and arranging a chief guest will take that much time,” he noted.

He has also sought more time to be granted for the speech of the chief guest, and permission to seat the Chairman / President of the governing board of the college on the dais.
