“Celebrating the pursuit of knowledge, the spirit of perseverance, and the promise of tomorrow.”
YBN University is proud to announce its inaugural Convocation Ceremony — a landmark moment in the university’s history, honouring the graduating class of 2024–25 across all schools, disciplines, and programmes.
A historic milestone for YBN University
The First Convocation of YBN University marks a defining moment in the history of our institution — the formal conferral of degrees upon the pioneering graduating class who joined us from inception and shaped the identity of this university through their dedication, curiosity, and resilience.
“To our graduates — you are not merely the products of this university; you are its founding legacy.”
The ceremony will be presided over by the Chancellor of YBN University and will be graced by the presence of the Governor of Jharkhand as the Chief Guest, senior academics, industry leaders, and the proud families of our graduates. Degrees, diplomas, and medals will be conferred upon eligible candidates across all schools and faculties.
Gold Medals and merit awards will be presented to the university toppers of each programme. The event will also feature an inaugural address, valedictory remarks from student representatives, and a cultural programme celebrating the diversity and spirit of the YBN community.
