Zheng Pengcheng, a graduate student who, if things went smoothly, should graduate in June this year.
But for now, he is in a state of delay in graduation.
When he received the call from the department leader, his first reaction was that the truth had been revealed.
He walked to the office trembling, and upon seeing the principal there, he felt utterly deflated.
The department head smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We're just trying to understand the reason behind your delay in graduation. If I remember correctly, you were asked to postpone your graduation because you did not meet the master's degree defense requirements, hence you couldn't participate in the graduation defense."
In their major, to participate in the defense, you only need to satisfy one of the conditions. Either achieve great research results or publish in core journals, and there are other options as well, all related to research, since Zheng Pengcheng is pursuing an academic master's degree.
