Graduation day ceremony

Graduation Day Ceremony is a great event in our institute and is celebrated every year with great fervor. It is for those students who have completed their internship programme.

The Chief Guest for the program will usually be an excellent academician so that the students are inspired by his guidance.

The students are administered a Dental Oath which pledges them to serve the society with grace and to render ethical services towards the patients. Then the students are provided with a citation and a medal as a provisional degree certificate from the institution.
