Union Education Minister Pradhan will Chair the convocation, while Vice President Dhankhar will be the Chief Guest of the convocation at JMI

Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) will hold its centenary year convocation on July 23 for students who passed out in the academic years 2019 and 2020 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan will Chair the convocation, while Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar will be the Chief Guest of the convocation at the varsity.

JMI Vice Chancellor Prof Najma Akhtar called on the education minister to invite him to Chair the centenary year convocation, reads the official press release. “The Vice-Chancellor expressed her gratitude to the Hon’ble Minister of Education for granting her an audience. She took the opportunity to inform the Hon’ble Minister about JMI’s recent accomplishments and outstanding achievements. The Hon’ble Minister’s special interest in JMI became evident from the fact that he was already well-informed about the varsity’s latest remarkable feats and achievements. During the meeting, she also made a mention about her proposal for the establishment of a medical college at JMI,” it stated.

Meanwhile, Jamia Millia Islamia earlier signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indocopter Private Limited (ICPL) to offer a BSc Aeronautics dual degree course. ICPL is a DGCA-approved CAR 145 and CAR M Maintenance Organization (MRO) providing round-the-clock support for Airbus, Leonardo, and Bell Textron helicopters. The course will enable students to appear in the DGCA module and after passing the module examination, the licence will be issued by the DGCA, the varsity stated.

JMI has been successfully running BSc (Aeronautics) dual degree programme since 2018 and three batches of the course have successfully passed out so far. The ongoing batches of BSc (Aeronautics), B1.3 (Mechanical), and B2 (Avionics) are in 2021 and 2022. According to the varsity, several passed-out students of the course are well placed in organisations like DRDO, Indian Army, United Airlines, Indigo Airlines, Air India, Enord Private Limited, Far Eye Logistics, and various other MRO organisations in India and abroad on good pay packages.
