SSUET organized its 28th Convocation, 854 students were conferred degrees

KARACHI: Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology (SSUET), organized its 28th Convocation with a traditional zeal that was attended by a large number of educationists, scholars, dignitaries including faculty and students.

Federal Minister for Information Technology, Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui was the Chief Guest of the event. On this occasion, more than 854 students were conferred degrees, and gold, silver and bronze medals were given to the students who secured first, second and third positions with distinction marks respectively.

Addressing the convocation, Federal Minister for Information Technology, Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said that Sir Syed University has proven to be an oasis in the desert in terms of providing education to the youth of Karachi. If Karachi, a city with a population of more than 35 million, runs, the country thrives. This country was supposed to be a model for the Millat e Islamia, but it is yet an enigma who turned it into a Mandi (market). We are living in the worst feudal society in the world under which education and democracy can’t flourish. There is no concept of growth, development, and justice in feudalism.

We need to establish centers that extract wisdom from knowledge. Truth is both a destination and a path to reach the destination.Speaking on the auspicious occasion, Chancellor SSUET, Jawaid Anwar said that when we took over in 2015, the budget volume was Rs 950 million and today the budget volume in 2025 is more than Rs 1.5 billion. The number of students admitted in 2015 was 1755 and the number of students admitted in 2024/2025 is 2661. Similarly, there were 19 degree programs in 2015 and now 49 degree programs are running in the university.
