Dr. Ajit Kumar Mohanty, Secretary, Department of Atomic Energy, & Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. 

Congratulating the students at the 11th Convocation of IIT Mandi, he said, “Completing graduation does not come easily. It involves years of hard work and perseverance, struggles and sacrifices, successes, achievements and perhaps some disappointments as well. This day will therefore probably be one of the most important and memorable milestones in the journey of your life and career.” 

Prof. Mohanty further added, “In your next phase of life as the young leaders, scientists, entrepreneurs, and professionals, you will find multiple challenges and opportunities waiting for you. You have acquired skill sets that include technical proficiency, critical thinking, as well as the ability to grasp complex principles and theories. With this, in any role, your primary goal should be to find solutions to multifaceted real-world problems looming upon the horizon, and this can only be successfully addressed when scientists and engineers join hands to work in unison.” 

The Institute has seen a rise in the number of girl students passing out in different streams. This year a total of 52 female students in undergraduate programme; 66 in postgraduate and masters’ programmes, 14 in Ph.D. programme have graduated from IIT Mandi surpassing the numbers from the previous years.
