14th Convocation of AIM

The 29th of April 2009 was a momentous day for the Assam Institute of Management as the Institute added another batch of sixty one young, talented and dynamic management graduates to the existing list of endowed alumni. It was the 14th Convocation of the Institute to confer the Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM) at the Pandit Tirthanath Sharma Memorial Sabhaghar, at Old University Colony, Guwahati.

He stated that AIM has maintained its strides as one of the premier B-school in India by imbibing its students with all the management acumen that would help them to lock horns with the complexities of the corporate world. He communicated that the placement of Assam Institute of Management is getting mileage with the transition of time and the institute is witnessing more and more companies coming for placement.

The Diploma certificates were distributed to the graduates by the Chief Guest. They were then given "Dikshanopadesha" from the Upanishads by Acharya Krishnakant Puranik, Principal, Asom Ved Vidyalaya. The graduating students then took an oath to aver their loyalty to their country, their profession and their conscience and to uphold the values embodied by the Institute in them.

As a whole the entire programme went on smoothly and was a grand success. Every one present there especially the parents were in a high spirit to see their wards coming out with flying colours.

We wish the outgoing batch all the very best in life and hope that their two years in AIM would be the most important value addition in their lives. May God be always with them.
