Whats the difference rclxub.gif

Does graduation means you have finished ur last exam paper?
Convo means throwing the hats at the ceremony?


Usually ppl say found a job before graduation means before ceremony or before last exam paper?
hmm.gif

I'm sure that some university advertise their employment rate before graduation lalalala

Thanks wink.gif

Graduation - You've completed the criteria of get the certificate of completion. Finishing your last exam paper doesn't mean you will graduate (as you might fail it? )
Convocation - Yes, just the ceremony.

It is possible for a company to hire one before graduation if they would like. I'm one of them.

Convocation is optional. Graduation isn't

In fact, convocation is a way for private unis to squeeze your money a final time. My friends convocation I think costs more than RM100 to even attend, and need extra to rent gown

U must be very bright

So a person is considered secured a job before graduation when the final result is not released yet rite?

Squeezing the last drop of our blood hahaha

Last chance to suck your $$$
After that No more...

Yes, the convocation is the ceremony.

Graduation is a bit more complicated. Its definitely not when you have finished your last exam. However passing all required units will make you eligible for graduation. Depending on the university, it may not be automatic. If its not automatic, then you'll need to put in an application for graduation, where upon approval (they only need to verify that you've indeed completed all requirements to graduate, and mark you as no longer continuing being enrolled) then you'll be eligible for the convocation ceremony.

Before the convocation ceremony, you may not have the certificate for the diploma/degree that you're working for as yet. However you can request the admin of the school/department/faculty you're at to issue you a latter confirming that you have indeed fulfilled the requirement to graduate, and is awaiting the ceremony for the certificate to be given to you.

Job being found before graduation, this depends on the person too, but mostly it depends on the course itself. Certain courses which are in high demand such as mining engineering can have industry recruiters scouting the universities for 3rd year students for possible recruitment.

To add on to this, generally graduation for my uni (or at least, the faculty im under), is like this.

In your last semester, you verify you have completed all the necessary modules and email your faculty office to file for graduation.

After verifying that you have indeed fulfilled the requirements and that you passed all your subjects in your final semester, only then they'll graduate you.

This can take some time though, as my faculty graduates more than 1k people annually.

Therefore, most employers actually settle for our transcript pending approval from the uni.

Once they've approved, you can collect your degree from the uni after a 5 working days if I rmb correctly. Once you collect this degree means you've graduated
