TISS Postpones 86th Convocation Citing Security Concerns Ahead of CJI Visit
The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) postponed its 86th convocation, originally scheduled for August 2, 2026, citing "unforeseen circumstances." Chief Justice of India Surya Kant was to be the chief guest. Reports indicate the decision was driven by security concerns over potential protests linked to the Cockroach Janta Party movement. The postponement, announced less than 48 hours before the event, disrupted travel plans for many students and families. TISS stated the decision aimed to preserve the wellbeing of all involved and promised to announce a new date later.
