"Each certificate handed over marks the culmination of sleepless nights and solved equations
— the very moment every engineer dreams of, crossing the stage with pride and purpose."

Slide background

"Every smile in these frames echoes years of hard work, every certificate held is a testament to grit, and every handshake
marks the beginning of a new legacy. On 23rd June 2025, in the halls of IIT Kanpur, we didn’t just witness a convocation
— we witnessed history in motion. This wasn’t the end of learning; it was the start of becoming."
