The Bengaluru campus will conduct its convocation on November 29 and 30, where more than 917 students will graduate in person. Another 1,385 students from online learning programmes will also be awarded degrees in the same phase.

This year’s ceremonies will recognise excellence through the awarding of 15 gold medals, with 12 being presented in Manipal and three in Bengaluru. Graduates from engineering, medical and health sciences, management, design, life sciences and humanities form the core of this year’s cohort. The Manipal convocation will see leading figures from academia and industry delivering keynote addresses.
