Convocations
Convocation is a special event that marks the culmination of academic pursuits for students. At CHARUSAT, we organize our convocations with utmost piety and Indian tradition, making it a memorable experience for all. We take great pride in conferring degrees to our students in person, in a dignified manner, and awarding them with real gold medals and certificates, unlike the trend of gold plated medals. We also provide our students and their parents with special attention and hospitality during the event.
Our convocation is a unique representation of Indian culture, with the procession scented with Ganpati Vandana and degree conferment accompanied by Vedic shlokas. Our students dress in traditional Indian costumes and the convocation is inaugurated with a traditional Deep Pragatya ceremony. Notably, our convocation has been blessed by dignitaries who have made substantial contributions to the national development. We are organizing convocations at CHARUSAT, each one showcasing our commitment to academic excellence and Indian culture. Catch the glimpse of convocations.
