We had it straight from the horse's mouth - the Principal is assuming charges at DOTE in the first week of April. He told us this at a meeting convened to discuss the Graduation Day.

He was, as usual, succinct and clear in his talk. He traced the events that led to the fixing of the venue and date, and hold your breath - the convocation is being held in the Periyar University auditorium, which is large enough to host 1000 invitees. I shall certainly miss the heat, the noise, the echo and the cramped spaces of the GCE auditorium! 

The meeting went on till 6.15 p.m. since the convenor Prof.PG Venkatakrishnan wanted everything spot on to make this a fitting finale to the academic career of Prof.P.M.Kavimani who has served this institution for about 27 years. There shall certainly be all efforts to make this a memorable occasion. 

This time, I hear from the to -be -graduates that quite a number can be expected since they have all completed their training. I hope they make it in large numbers, since it is specially being organised for them on a Sunday.

This time, registrations are being done online, through e-payment to ease the work of our ex-students. Perhaps, the right thing to be done for our tech savvy students.
