“Obtaining a degree is not the ultimate as every student should strive hard to continue the learning process even after getting employment. Besides the academic excellence, one should be honest, sincere and committed to succeed in their profession,” said V. Iraianbu, Principal Secretary to State Government.
Delivering the convocation address at NIFT-TEA College of Knitwear Fashion here on Sunday, he called upon the youth to consider their graduation as a visa to prospective careers in their respective domains.
