452 students received postgraduate and undergraduate diplomas at the convocation, while the governor delivered degrees to 23 Ph.D. and 10 MPhil scholars.

Taking to Twitter, Guv Kataria said, “I am delighted to have been a part of the 5th convocation of Mahapurusha Srimanta Sankaradeva Viswavidyalaya in Guwahati. My heartfelt congratulations go out to all the degree holders for their academic accomplishments. It is a moment of great pride for each graduate to have earned their degree from a university that derives its name from the revered apostle of Assam, Srimanta Sankardev.”
