IIT-D Director V Ramgopal Rao said, “Over 60% of registered students at IIT-Delhi are currently Masters and PhD students.”
The 49th annual convocation of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, held on Saturday, saw 378 PhD students, among others, getting their degrees. This is an increase of over 20% from last year. A total of 2,064 students — 1,635 students men and 429 women — were awarded degrees.
Businesswoman and social worker Anu Aga, the chief guest, made a case for personal wealth being used to solve society’s problems. “As young graduates, I am sure you aspire to be rich and powerful. There is nothing wrong with this dream provided you attain your goal adhering to moral and ethical values. What is more important is when you have the means, reach out in significant ways to mitigate some of India’s social problems, not just through compulsory corporate social responsibility, but from your personal wealth and your personal involvement,” she said.
