Convocation Module has been released on IRIS NITK with the aim of students being able to use the same to register for their degrees. All students are requested to note that registration is mandatory irrespective of whether students are able to attend the Convocation or not.
Step 1: Degree Registration on NAD NDML Website
Aadhaar Number or NAD ID needs to be updated on IRIS on the IRIS Student Profile. In case students haven’t updated either NAD or Aadhaar Number on IRIS, further steps in the Convocation Module can’t be continued.
If a student has Aadhaar Card
- Go to NAD Website and register for NAD using Aadhaar Number. NAD Aadhaar Number Registration
- Go to IRIS to the Student Profile and update your Aadhaar Number in the Profile Tab. IRIS Dashboard
If a student doesn’t have Aadhaar
- Go to NAD Website and register for NAD without Aadhaar. NAD Register without Aadhaar Page
- Wait for a few days for Institute to approve the NAD Application. In case of any delays inform the MIS Office immediately at iris@nitk.ac.in.
- Once Institute approves of the application, a NAD ID will be generated. NAD ID has to be updated on IRIS by the student in the Additional Details tab. IRIS Dashboard
Students will then recieve an Acknowledgement Slip which will then has to be mailed to the following email ID prajwalrshettigar@gmail.com.
Step 2: Register for Degree on IRIS
Students are requested to fill the Convocation Form to register for the Convocation on IRIS. Students are expected to inform via this form whether they would be able to attend the Convocation or not.
In case of any issues with respect to not being eligible for Convocation, students are requested to check with the Academic Section about the same.
Step 3: Physical Registration for students coming for Convocation
Students attending the Convocation at NITK have to physically report to Registration Desk set up in the Main Building. Students will then be marked as present on IRIS at the Registration Desk. It is very important for students to do this physical verification, else their names will not be announced on the day of Convocation as all Department Lists are generated via IRIS itself.
The Registration Desk will function from 14.00hrs to 20.00 hrs on November 9, 2018 and 06.30 hrs to 08.00 hrs on November 10, 2018 at the Ground floor of Main Building.
