The Jawaharlal Nehru University will be organising its second convocation tomorrow, almost 46 years after it organised its first.
More than 400 students, who have successfully graduated between January 1, 2017, and June 30, 2018, will be conferred with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), the varsity said.
The chief guest of the convocation, Professor VK Saraswat, Chancellor of JNU and current member of the NITI Aayog, will confer the degrees, they added.
The JNU Students' Union has appealed to the JNU community to boycott the convocation, accusing vice-chancellor Jagadesh Kumar of "muzzling their democratic rights".
