The glittering MP Hall complex witnessed a curious mix of tears and laughter as students and teaching staff joined hands to bid good bye to the students of the outgoing batch of 2005-06 at the official farewell ceremony of Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) –Rukhsat-06 late on Saturday evening.
"The students are the real asset of any institute who are taken care of and nurtured during their stint at the institute. The institute takes pride in hosting the students who later on reach to the zenith of their careers, said Director of MNNIT Prof Arun Baran Samaddar, who inaugurated the farewell ceremony following the Saraswati Vandana.
Prof AB Samadaar further wished all outgoing students a grand future and loads of success in their life. The host of the ceremony and chief warden of MNNIT Prof PK Misra in his customary farewell speech said that as custodian of more than 400 outgoing students, it was a heart felt moment for him with mixed emotion of grief for parting ways with the students but also a sense of pride over the accomplishments of the students.
It may be mentioned that most of the students have already bagged jobs before the completion of their courses during the campus placement drive which is conduced throughout the year.
