AHMEDABAD: Gujarat University is exploring the option to hold the annual convocation of students online next week. The exact date of the event is yet to be announced. Sources in GU said the university is considering to hold the convocation after February 11.
GU held the syndicate meeting online. Decisions on how to organize the event and who will be chief guest are being discussed, they said. Meanwhile, the education department has given the nod for colleges to conduct admission process in offline or in-person format. It has also allowed first and final year students to attend on-campus classes. Hostel facilities are likely to be opened for students soon.
“In such a scenario, it has become difficult for the varsity to decide on whether to hold the convocation ceremony virtually,” said sources.
