Graduates' Guide
Dear Graduate,
Congratulations on making it to the list of graduating students.
To attend the convocation ceremony, the following instructions
will assist you in streamlining the registration process.
Step 1: Check your name in the list of graduating
students under the relevant batch.
Step 2: Identify the two persons who are likely to
accompany you as guests at the convocation; keep their
particulars and scanned copies of CNICs handy as you have to
provide these at the time of online registration for the
convocation.
Step 3: Click the 'online registration link' and fill up
the required information to register yourself for the
convocation. Once the registration application is successfully
submitted, you will receive an email confirming that you have
registered for the convocation, and allotted a candidate number.
You are advised to obtain and retain a copy of this email as it
will serve as your 'entry pass and gown issue slip' on the
‘rehearsal day'.
Step 4: Mark your personal calendar/planner with the
convocation and rehearsal date and time.
Step 5: If the 'online registration link' does not
process your request, immediately contact the convocation
manager at the main campus, 021-38104700 (Ext: 1112, 2020 &
2010), who will guide you on how to proceed. Please note that
those students who have dues outstanding against their names, or
any other observation, will be identified through the APPLY NOW
tab.
Step 6: If you are unable to register, immediately clear
outstanding dues/observation. You will be able to complete the
registration process 24 hours after you clear the concerned
dues/observation.
Step 7: Attend the rehearsal session on the appointed
date and time. Get your convocation registration confirmation
email stamped at the rehearsal venue's entrance.
Step 8: On completion of the rehearsal, you will receive
the following: convocation day admit card, gown, head gear and
invitation cards for your guests from the Convocation Gown
Counter. The academic regalia (gown, headgear and hood) shall be
issued on cash payment of Rs. 2,000 which includes a rental of
Rs. 500 and refundable deposit of Rs. 1,500. Keep in mind the
travel time to the convocation venue on the final day to avoid
any last minute hassle.
Step 9: Arrive at the convocation venue (Abdul Razzak
Tabba Academic Block) at least one hour before the appointed
time and proceed to the designated robing room to put on your
academic regalia (gown, hood and head gear).
Dress Code: Wearing the academic regalia is compulsory
for all graduates attending the convocation ceremony. Those
graduates will not be allowed to attend the convocation who are
not appropriately dressed for the occasion.
