TISS Postpones August 2 Convocation Citing Unforeseen Circumstances
The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) postponed its 86th convocation, originally scheduled for August 2, 2026, at its Mumbai campus. The decision came just days before the event, affecting students and families who had made travel plans. While the official reason cited "unforeseen circumstances," reports indicate security concerns related to Chief Justice of India Surya Kant's planned attendance amid fears of protests linked to the Cockroach Janta Party movement. The institute has not announced a new date.
