Chancellor of RU and President of Peoples Republic of Bangladesh M Abdul

Earlier, the graduation ceremony was scheduled for March 24. More than
one year after the online registration for participants was completed in
2016, said Professor Lutfor Rahman, Proctor of RU.

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.

Prof Rahman added that 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.

“We are working relentlessly to turn the campus to a new look on the
occasion,” said Prof Ananda Kumar Shaha, Pro-Vice-chancellor of RU.
