Celebrating the historic Convocation of MAHE’s first batch of online graduates

It was a bright sunny morning at the MAHE campus on 8th February 2025, when the first online batch of Manipal Academy of Higher Education’s learners graduated with flying colors. Learners were not only enthusiastic about visiting the university campus but were also pumped up to receive their degree certificates. 

It was a truly special occasion, as these online students marked history by being the first batch to complete their online degrees from MAHE, which are recognized at par with on-campus degrees. 

A total of 426 students marked this milestone in their academic journey. Students of MBA, MSc Data Science, MSc Business Analytics, PGCP in Business Analytics, and PGCP in Logistics & Supply Chain Management graduated in this batch. Among them, several graduates dressed up in their best attires and graced the MAHE campus with their presence for the in-person convocation. The rest of the achievers, who couldn’t make it in person, will receive their well-deserved certificates both digitally and in hard copy.     

The convocation kicked off with a procession by the dignitaries – Chief Guest of the day, Dr HS Ballal – Pro Chancellor, Manipal Academy of Higher Education. The event was presided over by other top dignitaries including Lt. Gen. (Dr) M D Venkatesh – Vice Chancellor, Dr Narayana Sabhahit – Pro Vice Chancellor (Technology & Science), Dr Sharath K Rao – Pro Vice Chancellor (Health Sciences), Dr Dilip G Naik – Pro Vice Chancellor, Dr Madhu Veera Raghavan – Pro Vice Chancellor (MLHS & Head – MAHE Bangalore campus), Dr Giridhar Kini P – Registrar, Dr Vinod V Thomas – Registrar, Evaluation, Dr Manojkumar Nagasampige, Director – Directorate of Online Education, and the Guest of Honour Mr Ambrish Sinha, CEO – UNext Learning. 

Dr HS Ballal addressed the first batch of online graduates and said, “This unique event marks a significant milestone not only in the lives of our graduates, but the history of our institution as we adapt to the evolving times.” 

For the students who stepped onto the campus, the day was filled with excitement as they walked across the stage, shaking hands with faculty, and receiving their well-earned degrees. What made this convocation truly remarkable was the diversity of the graduating class. Students from various backgrounds came together, forging lifelong connections. Among the online graduates were both recent degree holders and working professionals from various industries including finance, defense services, healthcare, entrepreneurship, freelancing, and more.
