IIT-BHU's first convocation to honour meritorious students
Former President APJ Abdul Kalam would give away medals to the
meritorious students at the first convocation of Indian Institute of
Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IIT-BHU) on July 10. Former
president would also deliver convocation address at Swatantrata Bhawan.
Talking to reporters on Monday, IIT-BHU director Rajeev Sangal said that students who took admission in 2006-2007 onwards would get their degrees. All the degrees will have the new graphic logo and logo type of the institute, Sangal added.
The convocation was the much-awaited event for the institute as the graduates who passed out in 2010, 2011 and 2012 did not receive degrees because IIT status was awaited, which was received in 2012.
It may be noted that traditional dhoti kurta and sarees would replace the colonial academic gowns and caps in the convocation ceremony.
More than 2,300 graduates would receive degrees. As many as 1,288 degrees of BTech/BPharm, 649 degrees of MTech/MPharma, 287 degrees of integrated dual degree programme and 159 PhD degrees would be distributed. As many as 113 graduates from all three years would receive gold medals.
IIT-BHU director said that a convocation ceremony for 2013 batch would be held in the October.
