He said this year the number of graduates has gone up. Chancellor Dr. P.Shyama Raju said: “The increase in the number of graduates speaks volumes about the trust placed by parents and stakeholders on REVA.”

He said, “The extra-curricular and social awareness activities such as Jagruti, Revothsava, hackathons, sports, NCC and NSS develop leadership skills. The university is unique in its holistic approach towards education as the curriculum includes interdisciplinary studies on yoga, dance and music.”

In his convocation address, Chief Guest and UGC Chairman D.P. Singh said, “Convocation is life-defining moment. It is an event that marks the end of a journey and beginning of a new one.”

The chancellor conferred the PhD degrees to the deserving candidates in engineering and non-engineering streams during the occasion. The chief guest presented gold medals for the academic achievers in both engineering and non-engineering streams.
