The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is going to organize its convocation virtually this year on 18 November 2020.

It is all about celebrating scholarly achievement…Therefore, in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to hold the convocation and make it a memorable event for our students.”
