A university official said that the convocation ceremony could not be held over the past two years, 2024 and 2025.

During the ceremony, certificates, degrees, gold medals and PhD degrees will be conferred upon eligible students. As many as 283 students from various departments will receive gold medals, while 149 research scholars will be awarded PhD degrees at the forthcoming convocation.

The Vice-President will inaugurate the convocation ceremony at the university campus in Suryamaninagar, on the outskirts of the state capital, Agartala.

Meanwhile, the Union Ministry of Education is reportedly aiming to complete the selection process and appoint a new Vice-Chancellor at the earliest.

Good to see the focus on education in the Northeast. However, I hope the visit leads to more than just a ceremony. Concrete steps are needed to improve research funding and infrastructure in these central universities. The delay in appointing a permanent VC for Tripura University, as mentioned at the end, is a case in point.

Hearty congratulations to all the students receiving their degrees and medals! 🎓 Especially the 149 PhD scholars – that's a huge achievement. After two years of no convocation, this must be a very special moment for them and their families. Jai Hind!

As someone from the South, it's heartening to see a Vice-President from our region (Tamil Nadu) engaging with the Northeast. Such visits strengthen the feeling of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat'. The cultural exchange during these events is as valuable as the academic ceremony.

My cousin is graduating from Mizoram University this year! Our whole family is so excited that the Vice-President himself will be there. It adds so much prestige to the day. Fingers crossed everything is perfectly arranged. 🤞
