A convocation ceremony holds a very important place in every student’s heart. It is significant milestone for the graduating students as also for the university and its constituent institutes. It is that day in the academic life of the students when all the hard work, dedication, commitment, and enthusiasm pay off. It is a proud day for all the parents because their not-so-little kids get their hard-earned education degrees. It is indeed a moment of pride for all of us to acknowledge the praiseworthy role of our students and their families. 

As we go through the major challenges emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, we recognize that our illustrious students deserve due recognition despite these constraints. We are continuing to be guided by COVID-19 related government directives and guidelines (physical distancing, quarantine, travel restrictions etc.), the university thought it is best to arrange virtual convocation for the graduating students so as not to put your as well as your family member’s health at risk but at the same time the recognition of students’ academic success is important to the university. We are proud of the resilience that you have shown in these ever-changing times. MAHE is looking forward to honor you as you embark on the next phase of your life. We will celebrate your convocation online and with virtual experiences.
