It is a challenge we are well prepared for,” say students of the CMR Institute of Management Studies who celebrated their Graduation Day with a great deal of pomp and ceremony.
The atmosphere at the bright airy campus was charged with a mix of excitement and nostalgia as students and faculty participated enthusiastically in the well planned graduation programme.
“We are proud of the fact that we have a team of selfless and dedicated educationists committed to creating benchmarks in the field of higher education,” said Prof. Mukerji, the Dean of Management and Commerce, adding, “over 700 students from various undergraduate and postgraduate programmes have graduated today and we are confident that they will step out armed with both an academic degree and a well-rounded personality.”
