Convocation is a day to cherish innovative intelligences, undaunted leadership skills and memories of years of building bonds and discovering new depths. It is an event of utmost pride for both the students and the institution where newly found alumni will be formally acknowledged and lauded for their accomplishments.
The poignant picture of the graduate batch of 2015 clad in black gowns and caps is a moment of pride for Jain University. On the "5th Annual Convocation" of Jain University, degrees will be awarded to the students who have completed and excelled at various streams of education. Jain University for the first time will be awarding "Doctor of Philosophy" (Honoris Causa) to Smt. Kavitha Krishnamurthy Subramaniam, Multi-Platinum Recording Artist & Playback Singer for her contributions to the Indian Music.
Jain University constantly strives to build on its four major fronts 1) Leadership 2) Innovative Entrepreneurship 3) Research and Training and 4) Sports. The journey in accomplishing excellence in these fields has been quite momentous. Over the years, Jain University has seen many transformations and accomplishments in the student fraternity. Last year, Jain University awarded over 2422 degrees to its students. This year, JU will laud its students with 2374 meritorious degrees.
Now the time has arrived to bid adieu to yet another batch of students. On behalf of Jain University I wish all the best to our graduates!
