The orientation will focus on the practical side of the event and the conduct expected from graduates. It is a preparation exercise, plain and Direct.
What the programme will cover
The objectives listed for the programme include:
- sensitising graduates on convocation procedures and etiquette
- managing clearance processes
- coordinating gown issuance

These points show what graduates should expect on the day; each part ties to the main convocation exercise.
Free academic gown for participants
KSITM stated that free academic gowns will be given to all graduates who attend the rehearsal.
The notice also says attendance at the rehearsal is mandatory for eligible graduates. That requirement is tied to the plan for a smooth convocation experience and the issue of the free gown.

The Students and Graduates Committee of KSITM urged all eligible graduates to attend the orientation programme.
The notice describes the convocation as a major personal achievement for graduates. For that reason, the committee wants attendees present, prepared, and ready for the main event.
