<p>The CMR Institute of Technology recently held its graduation where more than 900 students graduated in style. </p>.<p>There were a couple of students who won gold medals and they all said in one voice that their hard work had paid off. <br /><br />Most of the students had completed their engineering and were waiting to pursue a higher degree and further specialise. </p>.<p>The students say that the challenge was to work with the existing technology and come up with ideas that are creative and workable in the IT world. <br /><br />Students at the CMR Institute of Technology were all training to become entrepreneurs. Addressing the gathering, chief guest Mohan Kumar, executive director, Norwest Venture partners, urged the students not to be afraid of technology and move forward with confidence. </p>.<p>KC Ramamurthy, chairman, CMR Group of Institutions, elaborated on the steps being taken to provide the best education to students. <br /><br />He encouraged them to plan their own start-ups. Out of the 900 engineers, 56 students who topped the college and the university were felicitated on the occasion. <br /><br />The students posed for photos in their graduation attire and were also happy with the fact that most of them had been placed and would soon start working. <br /><br />As they exchanged phone numbers, clicked pictures and bid adieu to their college, they all cherished the dream of making it big one day. <br /><br />Ramyashree, who received gold medal for topping in VTU exams, said, “I hope to become an engineer someday and contribute effectively to the growth of society.” <br /><br />Akshay, an electrical engineering student, was excited about graduating. “I would like to pursue pure science and work towards popularising the stream. I feel it’s one area where a lot of youngsters are not really interested. I am fond of science and I would like to explore the subject further.”<br /><br />Chaitra, a graduate in telecomunications said, “My friends and I intend to pursue a career in our stream. Today, young people think of branching out into corporate jobs but we would like to stick to our field.” <br /><br />Varnashree, another student of electrical engineering, thinks the college has done well to give the students a lot of exposure. <br /><br />“The college put the students through many practical sessions and that in itself gives us a lot of exposure. In some of the sessions, we got to interact with heads of business establishments which also gave us an insight into how business establishments operates,” she said. <br /><br />Parents were seen rejoicing. Geetha, whose daughter graduated said, “Today, I see my daughter confident and capable to face the challenges of life, thanks to the good grooming.” Suganthi Krishnan, another parent added, “The last five years have not only done well to boost my son’s confidence but he has been placed in a good company. It’s a good start for him.” <br /></p>
