Back to Campus

June 11 and 18, 2022, was an extraordinary day for the PGDM, PGMPW, and PGPM classes of 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Back on campus for just one day, they had their golden moments as they experienced dormitory life again and posed for their convocation portraits.

They also interacted with the instructors and current students. Due to the epidemic and its constraints, some batches had missed their formal convocation, so back to campus turned out to be a warm affair.
