“Every year, since 1997, we have been organizing the International Students’ Convocation Ceremony in the month of June. The Convocation ceremony is normally organized by universities in India during the month of December. But since most foreign students have to leave India by this time, they are deprived of this wonderful memory. Symbiosis introduced the Convocation Ceremony for all foreign students graduating from different universities all over India with an aim to fulfill a foreign student’s dream of walking down the aisle with a robe and cap. Around 200 international students from 35 different countries will be participating in this ceremony”.

Today It was a major milestone in my life that I got graduated today Alhamdulillah…!!!! It was a dream for me and it come true today.”
