The 10th convocation of Rajshahi University will be held on September 29, the authorities announced yesterday.

President Abdul Hamid, also chancellor of the university, will preside over the ceremony, which will be held at the university stadium.

Earlier, the graduation ceremony was scheduled for March 24, more than one year after the online registration for participants was completed in 2016.

But it was postponed on March 13 due to the illness of Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid who was supposed to chair the programme at that time.

The registration process was first opened on November 3, 2016 for those who earned their masters, MBBS, BDS, MPhil and PhD degrees between 2011 and 2014 from RU. Later, the deadline was extended from November 30 to December 15, 2016.
