6. Graduation

The most significant event for graduates is the graduation ceremony. It is a formal event held for the elite to celebrate and acknowledge the academic achievements of students who have completed their courses successfully. These ceremonies are held publically; therefore, there is no expectation of privacy under the particular data protection for anyone attending. So here we are listing the points about protecting your data during the graduation ceremony. This applies to all students eligible for an award or those intending to graduate, whether they attend a ceremony or not. Please note the following pieces of information and make sure your invited guests are also aware of this information:

Your name and student ID will be published in the graduation brochure. If you are not interested in publishing your name and details, email us at dpm@eiiet.com five weeks before the ceremony.
When you walk across the stage, your name and designation will be announced in the graduation ceremony.
Your photographs will be taken at your graduation ceremony.
Crowd pictures will be taken in our graduation venue by the photographers whom the institute will arrange, and these may include images of you and your guests.
If you are not interested in clicking on your photos, you must inform the photographer before the picture is taken.
At graduation, if you are unwilling to have the pictures taken when crossing the stage or being handed over the certificate, you must inform us at dpm@eiiet.com five weeks before the date of your graduation ceremony.
Videos taken at the graduation ceremony will be uploaded to our official website for viewing and used for upcoming post-graduate events.
Television companies may be available to film our VIP guests and interview our best graduates. If you wish to appear or refrain from appearing on television, you should maintain your distance from the filming place.
The pictures and videos taken at the ceremony will be used to promote the activities of eiIET, such as promotional materials, a worldwide website, brochures, and course leaflets. Please keep in mind that the website will be open worldwide.

Suppose you have any requests or inquiries about the use of personal data at graduation ceremonies. Please email us at dpm@eiiet.com five weeks before the graduation ceremony date. Please read the full privacy notice below:
