The National Law School of India University (NLSIU) has abruptly called off its much-anticipated **NLSIU convocation** for the graduating 2026 cohort, officially attributing the sudden U-turn to unavoidable logistical hurdles at the Bengaluru campus.
Uncertainty Surrounds The NLSIU Convocation
This administrative decision arrives on the heels of intense student pushback regarding the proposed attendance of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Bar Council of India representatives as Chief Guests for the prestigious annual graduation event.
Discontent brewed across the student body over the high-profile judicial invites, mirroring a broader wave of campus activism and similar controversies previously witnessed at other elite institutions like NALSAR earlier in the academic calendar.
Consequently, university authorities confirmed that instead of a formal in-person ceremony in Bengaluru, graduating scholars from the 2026 batch will now receive their professional degrees in absentia rather than gathering for the traditional milestone celebration.
