The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) announced the last-minute postponement of its convocation ceremony originally scheduled for August 2. The event was expected to be a significant academic milestone for the institution, with Supreme Court Justice Surya Kant invited to preside as the chief guest.

As of now, the institute has not provided a specific reason for the sudden cancellation or a rescheduled date for the ceremony. The lack of an official explanation has left students and faculty awaiting further communication regarding when the degrees will be formally conferred. While the event was high-profile due to the expected presence of a sitting Supreme Court judge, the institute has remained silent on whether the postponement is related to logistical issues, security concerns, or other administrative factors. The sudden nature of the announcement has caused disruption for attendees who had already made travel arrangements to participate in the proceedings.
