The IIT-BHU has decided to do away with the traditional black robe at its convocation ceremony to be held on Wednesday.
The boys will be seen wearing a dhoti or a pyjama and cream kurta while girls will either don a white salwar and cream kameez or a cream saree paired with a white blouse at the event where former president APJ Abdul Kalam is the chief guest.
The institute would gift all students an angavastram (stoll) that would have the new logo of IIT-BHU on it.
