You guys should stop this. Moat conventional universities won't give you certificates on the day of convocation and you must pay all the convocation fees before you get the certificate.

Stop making it look like Noun is doing something outrageous...

I am a postgraduate student and I attended a conventional university for my first degree. Only few will issue certificates to you.
