We invite you to attend the Convocation and receive the Degree in person.

However, high-heeled sandals and slippers are strictly not permitted. The Uttariya will be provided to the graduands during registration. The Saree and blouse must be arranged or procured by the graduands.

B. REGISTRATION

The degree recipients will have to register their names in person on September 05, 2025 (Friday) between 08.00 am to 11.00 am in the LA2 (SANKHA), Room-009 of the Institute by producing any Photo ID (viz., NITR ID Card/Employee ID Card at the place of work/PAN Card/DL/Aadhar Card/Voter ID). The Graduands reporting to receive a degree/medal in the Convocation must collect the Convocation Uttariya and registration kit at the time of registration. The registered Graduands will retain the Uttariya and registration kit after the Convocation as a memory.

Latecomers are forbidden from participating to ensure that degree certificates are stacked in advance in the proper sequence and that there is no mix-up during the Convocation.

C. REHEARSAL (COMPULSORY)

There will be a rehearsal of the convocation process at 2.30 pm on September 05, 2025 (Friday) (i.e. on the afternoon of the day before the Convocation). So, the respective graduands are requested to occupy their designated seats in Bhubaneswar Behera Auditorium (BBA) half an hour before. Since the Convocation is an august event, the event must move without any flaw. Only a complete rehearsal shall ensure compliance by all concerned. Hence, it has been decided that a graduand should not be permitted to participate in the Convocation if they miss the rehearsal.

D. YOUR NAME

Please note that your certificate will bear your name as listed in our website www.nitrkl.ac.in/convocation. Please let us know if (and only if) there is any spelling mistake before August 26, 2025 (Tuesday). You can intimate through email at jayaprakashs[at]nitrkl.ac.in or acad.res[at]nitrkl.ac.in.

We shall have no opportunity for correcting it in future.

E. ACCOMPANYING PERSON

Persons accompanying the degree recipients are welcome to witness the Convocation (not the rehearsal) at Bhubaneswar Behera Auditorium (BBA). Due to the paucity of space, degree recipients are requested to limit the number of accompanying persons to one per degree recipient. We regret that children are not allowed inside the Convocation Hall. The Convocation can also be viewed Live on YouTube.

F. ACCOMMODATION

Since we have limited rooms in our guest houses and our distinguished guests will occupy both, we cannot accommodate them. You may contact local Hotels directly for accommodation.

You are requested to register online (link in the Convocation portal) on the Institute website by August 28, 2025, so we can make necessary arrangements.

Expecting your presence in the XXIII Convocation.

Mr. Ashis Kumar Behera
Assistant Registrar (Academic)
