The ceremony brought together students, families, faculty, and leaders to honour academic journeys shaped by inquiry, discipline, and resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day started off with Saraswati Vandanam, setting a reflective and majestic tone. Welcoming the gathering, Dr. H. B. Raghavendra, Vice Chancellor, presented the University\u2019s Annual Report, highlighting CMRU\u2019s growth since its inception, across academics, research, infrastructure, and student development. He reaffirmed the University\u2019s commitment to building a learning ecosystem that remains relevant, precise, and socially responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Convocation was formally declared open by Dr. Sabitha Ramamurthy, Chancellor, who conferred the Doctor of Science and Doctor of Letters (Honoris Causa) degrees. Graduates across schools stepped forward, took the \u2018Oath of Integrity\u2019 reaffirming their vows to be ethical and compassionate in their life\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Degrees were awarded across Schools and each moment met with applause from the audience. The ceremony celebrated academic excellence and the university\u2019s research efforts. 33 Gold Medallists were recognised for outstanding academic performance, while 37 scholars were awarded Ph.D. degrees, marking CMRU\u2019s expanding research culture.
