Amaravati: VIT-AP University held its 5th Convocation Ceremony on Saturday, marking a proud moment for the Class of 2025. The event, hosted at the university’s picturesque campus in Amaravati, celebrated the achievements of 3,117 graduating students, including 28 gold medalists and 126 rank holders.
The ceremony was graced by Justice N.V. Ramana, Hon’ble Former Chief Justice of India, as the Chief Guest, and Sri Rajeev Verma, Senior Director at Samsung Electronics, Bengaluru, as the Guest of Honour.
In his address, Justice Ramana urged the graduating students to look beyond academic success and embrace social responsibility. “As you step out of the campus, remember — life beyond these walls is filled with extraordinary challenges and uncertainties. Stay informed about the world around you, be tech-savvy, and remain sensitive to the needs of society,” he said, lauding VIT-AP for “nurturing not only brilliant minds but also responsible citizens ready to shape a better future.”
Echoing similar sentiments, Rajeev Verma reminded the graduates of the pace of technological change. “You are entering a world where technology evolves faster than textbooks can keep up. What is relevant today may become obsolete tomorrow. Keep learning, keep adapting, and remain lifelong learners in this ever-changing world,” he advised.
Dr. G.
