Welcome to the Convocation 2016 Registration Portal
CEPT University has grown over the years and this year we are pleased to see 420 of
you graduating from the University. We believe that all of us are one community and
hence should be part of a single ceremony. This implies that a 10 second delay per
student will result in a 1.5 hour delay in the ceremony! Therefore, we request you to
go through the instructions on this portal in detail and help us plan a memorable
event.

4. Note: you can change this preference till 23:59hrs on 26 January
This helps us in 2 ways.
It reduces the number of empty seats in the front section of the audience [we have
had around 20% absence in the past]. This helps us move your guest seating area
closer to the stage.
It ensures less confusion and more speed during the ceremony as only the names of
graduating students are read out aloud.
This helps us provide adequate seating area for guests.

2. We know you are excited; kindly maintain the dignity of the event.
3. Please return to your seats after receiving your degree. We know you want to
celebrate immediately but spare a thought for your colleagues who haven’t yet
received theirs. No one likes their big moment to be marred by empty seats and
chaotic scenes.

the stage area as parents and juniors try to photograph the event. We have an
official photographer who will be taking photos of all convocating students. You can
obtain your photo from your concerned Admin department a week after the event.
