Supplementary convocation held

He also pointed out that as per another sub clause the Vice-Chancellor could preside at a convocation only in the chancellor8217;s absence. M S University Vice-Chancellor Anil Kane however added that since the supplementary convocation ceremony was generally simple, and there were very few students who were to be honoured, the V-C could preside over the function and also sign the certificates.

He added that since the function would be over in 10-15 minutes and there was no dignitary to address the convocation, the university would follow the long-standing practice of having a simple supplementary convocation.

Pandya however added that he had met Puar on June 7. Pandya claimed that neither she nor the royal family had given permission to any V-C to preside over a supplementary convocation or sign the degree or diploma certificates to be issued in such convocations.
