The Dean (Programmes), Dean (Faculty), Dean (Alumni and External Relations); Programme Chairs led the ceremonial procession that was joined by the faculty members and students from the PGP, PGP-FABM, PGPX and PhD programmes. As the procession entered the Louis Kahn Plaza, the graduating students were greeted with loud cheers and applause, filling the moment with a sense of immense pride and happiness. The batch toppers from each programme were awarded gold medals in recognition of their scholastic performance. Mr Shubham Goyal, Mr Vaibhav Agarwal and Mr Nitin Kulshreshtha from PGP; and Mr Amit Kumar from PGPX were the recipients of the scholastic medals.
For the first time, the in-person convocation also witnessed the graduating students donning stoles emblazoned with the IIMA logo. The decision was taken keeping the city’s rising temperatures in serious consideration. Due to the sweltering heat and outdoor event, the convocation commenced at 7:30 pm. With a brief convocation ceremony on the 13th April, only the gold medallists were awarded on the stage. The degrees to students were presented by the respective programme chairpersons at RJM Auditorium on 14th April.
We wish all the best to the graduating students in the journey ahead.
