Few months back in an exclusive conversation with Barak Bulletin, the President of Assam University Students’ Union Shubhamoy Chanda informed that this year the registration fees for attending convocation has been increased by 500 rupees compared to the previous year, which was 2000 rupees.

Elaborating the fees hike Chanda said “The fees have been increased as this will be the first time that we will have a traditional outfit for the graduates and scholars attending the convocation. There will be no western gowns this year which were provided by the university. Rather, the university has decided to introduce a waistcoat and a traditional scarf – Uttoriyo, which are being designed by the Head of the Visual Arts Department.”

He added, “The waistcoat will have a design based on the Dimasa Kachari architecture style as seen in the ruins of Khaspur and the Uttoriyo, which will be made of khadi will also have a similar design along with the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav logo.”

The University has invited the President of India and Education Minister as guests for the 20th convocation but the declaration of guests is yet to formally announced.
