Greetings, Class of 2021!
Aaaaand it is a wrap for Loveable KIITians. Your wonderful journey at KIIT comes to an end here as a student. But it begins as an alumni. We are all very proud of you! You have braved all uncertainties and worked hard for this achievement. Let’s celebrate this special day of your success at 17th Annual Convocation of KIIT Deemed to be University.
We are proud to honour your accomplishments by marking this milestone with a virtual annual convocation ceremony. Graduands, family, friends and the University community are invited to watch it live on our official social media channels. We are also sharing digital assets like selfie corner, GIFs, background to celebrate your important way, in your style. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #KIITConvocation on your virtual celebration.
