During the hearing, the panel advocate for RGUHS informed the court there’s a provision in the statute of the health university for providing graduates a provisional degree certificate, followed by awarding of degree in the convocation. In his petition, Lanson had claimed there’s a delay in awarding degree certificates as the RGUHS convocation is being deferred, and the same is affecting his study as well as employment prospects. It must contain a specific certification that it should be treated on a par with the awarding of degree, for all practical purposes. The judge directed Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) to issue a provisional degree certificate for MBBS to the petitioner within two weeks. “Aggrieved students can’t be asked to wait in silence for an indefinite period since it will have many repercussions like time bar for admission to a course, non-compliance of conditions of recruitment and age bar for employment,” Justice Krishna S Dixit pointed out. The high court made this observation while coming to the rescue of Lanson Brijesh Colaco, a medical student from Kurunji Venkataramana Gowda Medical College and Hospital, Sullia, Dakshina Kannada.
Universities have to devise viable alternatives to mitigate the likely hardships their students/alumni are put to. BENGALURU: Because of the ‘conspiracy of circumstances’ such as the Covid-19 pandemic, it has become difficult to maintain the regularity and periodicity of convocation ceremonies.
