AU has started preparing for the convocation on the occasion of Teacher's Day which is on 5th September. According to professor Chitranjan for the convocation, several committees are formed and many meetings were organised in which they discussed on several agendas such as stage preparations, name of prominent personalities for the chief guest, event size, number of participants, refreshments, etc.
Professor RK Sing, the senior faculty members informed that various VC's & other faculty members tried to organise the convocation ceremony in the past but there were many challenges. One of the biggest reason was that the Vice- Chancellor of the university was changing frequently.
