International & Nepali Standard

Bachelor’s graduates - whether in the U.S., U.K., Nepal or beyond - follow this widely accepted tradition:

• Pre-graduation: The Tassel starts on the right side of the mortarboard. It symbolises your status as a candidate for graduation

• At conferral: Upon receiving your diploma, or when prompted by the ceremony, you move the tassel to the left, marking your official transition to graduate

Universities in Nepal typically follow this same sequence. Thus if you’re unsure during your photo session:

1. Early shots (right-side tassel) = excitement, anticipation.

2. Post-convocation shots (left-side tassel) = pride, achievement.

📸 Photoshoot Tips

Positioning your tassel correctly enhances every shot:

• Right-side photos: Represent promise and preparation.

• Left-side photos: Highlight your success and graduate identity.

• Keep tassel away from your face - this avoids blocking expressions during the ceremony stage, walks 

✨ Why It Matters

The tassel turn is more than a ceremony - it is a rite of passage:

• Marks the completion of your study and the beginning of your graduate journey.

• Unites your graduating class in a single proud moment 

This universal symbolism aligns Nepali ceremonies with global academic customs, enhancing recognition abroad or on international platforms.
