Imagine this: The Governor of Rajasthan traveling 1,000 kilometers to attend a university event in Pune. What’s so special about this graduation ceremony that’s bringing together India’s top education leaders?
The Grand Celebration
MIT-ADT University is buzzing with excitement. On November 8, 2025, their campus in Loni Kalbhor will host its 8th convocation. The air is thick with anticipation as 3,334 students prepare to receive their hard-earned degrees.
Special Guests Steal the Show
Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagade will be the chief guest. He’ll share the stage with Prof Dr Vishwanath D Karad, the university’s founder. But that’s not all – the director of IIT Mandi will also join the celebrations.
What makes this event extra special? Two industry giants will receive honorary degrees:
- Ramanan Ramanathan (Science leader) – Getting Doctor of Science
- Subhash Tyagi (Glass industry pioneer) – Receiving Doctor of Letters
| Award Type | Number |
|---|---|
| Degrees Awarded | 3,334 |
| PhD Recipients | 21 |
| Gold Medals | 21 |
| Rank Certificates | 195 |
Why This University Stands Out
Since opening in 2015, MIT-ADT has become an education powerhouse. Its recent QS World Ranking for Arts and Design proves its growing reputation. The university has hosted big names before – from India’s Vice President to ISRO chiefs.
Prof Dr Mangesh Karad, the university’s leader, says: “Our graduates are changing industries worldwide. This convocation celebrates their journey and our commitment to quality education.”

The Governor’s Important Role
Governor Bagade’s presence shows how seriously states take education partnerships. His visit highlights the strong ties between Rajasthan and Maharashtra’s academic communities.
For students, this is more than just a ceremony. As one graduate shared: “Having such respected leaders attend makes us feel valued. It motivates us to achieve more.”
What Makes This Convocation Different?
- Record attendance of 8,000+ people
- First honorary degrees awarded since pandemic
- Special focus on industry-academia partnerships

The Bigger Picture
Events like this show India’s education growth story. Universities across states are collaborating more than ever. The Rajasthan Governor’s visit to a Maharashtra university symbolizes this new teamwork spirit in Indian education.
As the sun sets on Swami Vivekananda Mandap on November 8, 3,334 new graduates will begin their journeys. Their success stories will become part of MIT-ADT’s legacy – and proof of India’s educational excellence.
