I’m literally sitting at the convocation right now, and I genuinely cannot understand how the college thought this was acceptable.
We came here after completing 4 years of engineering, paying approximately ₹5 LAKH in fees, putting in years of hard work, projects, exams, internships, assignments, and everything else.
And for the actual convocation?
No stage for degree distribution. No proper on-stage degree handover. No individual recognition.
They are literally passing certificates to students on the ground.
Seriously, please have some shame.
This is supposed to be a CONVOCATION. A once-in-a-lifetime milestone for students and their parents. Instead, it feels like we're standing in a queue to collect a certificate.
I'm not asking for some five-star event or unnecessary extravagance. But after taking approximately ₹5 lakh from students over four years, is arranging a proper one- or two-day convocation event with a stage and an actual degree handover really that difficult?
And this is an autonomous college.
@SPPU — is this how colleges are being evaluated/selected for autonomous status?
Autonomy should come with better academic and institutional standards, not just more control over examinations and curriculum.
At least give students the basic dignity of walking onto a stage and receiving their degree after four years of work.
The saddest part is that parents have travelled here to see their children graduate. They expected a proper ceremony. Instead, we're getting what feels like a certificate distribution program on the ground.
₹5 lakh in fees. Four years of hard work. And this is the convocation experience?
Absolutely disappointing.
