The ceremony also featured the administering of an oath, the distribution of certificates, and the presentation of the Best Summer Internship Award.
Delivering the Presidential Address, Rev. Dr. A.A.S.

He urged them to uphold high ethical standards as they scale professional heights and contribute meaningfully to Vision 2047 – Viksit Bharat.
