The Banaras Hindu University (BHU) is a public central university located in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. The convocation is a formal ceremony held to confer degrees upon graduating students.
At the BHU convocation, students are typically required to wear academic dress, also known as regalia. This typically includes a gown, hood, and cap. The gown is worn over regular clothing and is typically made of a heavy, flowing fabric such as silk or polyester. The hood is a ceremonial garment that is worn around the neck and is typically made of the same material as the gown. It is worn to symbolize the student’s academic achievements. The cap, also known as a mortarboard, is worn on the head and is usually made of stiff material such as cardboard or plastic. It is flat on top and has a tassel hanging from the center.
In addition to the academic dress, students may also be required to wear formal clothing such as a suit or dress pants and a dress shirt. It is important to check with the BHU administration or your academic department for specific dress code requirements for the convocation ceremony.
