Navrachana University awards degrees to 707 graduates at 12th convocation; 17 students receive gold medals

NEW DE LHI: The Navrachana University (NUV) Vadodara hosted its 12th annual convocation ceremony. Over 700 students were awarded degrees from various disciplines across undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes.

Out of the 707 graduating students, 379 were girls and 328 were boys. 11 of the 17 gold medalists were girls. Moreover, six students, including three girls, were awarded PhD degrees.

According to the NUV official statement, a total of 516 students received bachelor’s degrees, 166 students received master’s degrees, and 24 students received degrees upon completion of 5-year integrated programs.

While delivering the convocation speech, Krish Ashok the head of advisory and consulting function at the Al. Cloud unit at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and the chief guest for the event emphasized the importance of continuous learning in an ever-evolving world. “We're about to enter what I call the era of the human API,” he said.

Krish Ashok further adds: “For those of you who aren't into computer science – and this is exactly the kind of cross-disciplinary translation we need to get good at – an API (application programming interface) is how different software systems talk to each other. In the future, the most valuable skill won't be writing code or analyzing data or creating content. AI will do most of that. The most valuable skill will be knowing how to talk to both AI and humans, understanding the strengths and limitations of each, and creating something meaningful from that intersection. Sure, AI will take your job if your job is to write simple software code or test applications, or work in a call center, or be an intern in a law firm … AI will not take the job of someone that knows how to use AI to be more creative, quicker and, better ... A human using AI effectively will take your job”.
