Information for Graduands
Congratulations on your upcoming Convocation!
We’re looking forward to celebrating with you during Convocation, 2–4 November 2026, at Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology. Your Convocation is a celebration of everything you have accomplished during your time at Thapar. From getting ready for the day to walking across the stage to receive your degree, this page brings together the information you’ll need along the way.
We’ll continue to update this page as Convocation approaches, so check back regularly for the latest details.
Mark Your Attendance
We’re getting ready to welcome you to Convocation. Please tell us whether you’ll be joining us.
Simply complete the attendance form by 20 October 2026. Whether you’re attending in person or won’t be able to make it, please submit the form so we know how to plan for you.
Receiving Your Degree
The 40th Convocation will celebrate students completing their journey at Thapar across:
- Undergraduate (UG) programmes
- Postgraduate (PG) programmes
- PhD programmes
Please check your No Dues status on WebKiosk before Convocation and clear any outstanding dues, if applicable. A degree can be awarded only after all outstanding dues have been cleared.
Your Convocation Gown and Cap
The Convocation gown is part of the tradition of the day and completes your look for the ceremony. You can collect your gown and hood from Room B-105/106, near C-Hall. The rental is ₹1,100, including a ₹1,000 refundable security deposit. Payment is cash only. After the ceremony, return the gown to receive your security deposit back.
Bringing Your Family
Your family is an important part of this day, and we have made arrangements for them to follow the ceremony even when seating in the Main Auditorium is limited. Parents and guests will have a separate designated seating area from the main event. For Session 1 on Day 1 (November 2, 2026), parents of medal winners are invited to attend the ceremony in the Main Auditorium. For the remaining sessions on November 2, 3 and 4, parents and guests will be seated in the TAN Auditorium and LT Lounge. Arrangements will be made for them to view the Convocation ceremony and share in the celebrations through live streaming.
Our Convocation team will be available to guide parents and guests to these venues. Shuttle transportation will also be available to and from the TAN Auditorium and LT Lounge. The designated pick-up and drop-off point is in front of ICICI Bank.
Before the Ceremony
Please arrive at C-Hall at your reporting time. From there, ushers will guide you to your seat in the Auditorium. Your seat will be assigned based on your degree and registration number. The seating order will follow the order in which degrees are presented.
Getting Ready for the Ceremony
Your cap and gown are part of the tradition of Convocation. Begin the ceremony with your tassel on the right side of your cap. After receiving your degree, move the tassel from the right to the left.
Your Moment on Stage
When your name is called, you’ll be guided to the dais to receive your degree. Take in the moment. It marks the culmination of your time at Thapar and the beginning of what comes next. Please remain in the auditorium until the Convocation proceedings have concluded.
Make It a Day to Remember
Convocation is a moment to celebrate with the people who have shared your journey. You are welcome to take photographs during the ceremony, while following the guidance of the Convocation team. Photo booths will also be available on campus for you and your family to capture the day together. An official photographer will be present during the ceremony to capture key moments, including the presentation of degrees. Information on accessing the photographs will be shared after Convocation.
