Lucknow :

Girls once again rule the roost in APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University’s medal tally. Close to 80% of the medals to be awarded on the convocation ceremony scheduled on December 24 are in girls’ kitty. A total of 48 medals will be awarded in the convocation. Of these, 38 will be awarded to girls.

For the first time, graduating students of AKTU will wear a cream-coloured angvastra over their traditional dress. Boys will wear white shirts and dark trousers. Girls will wear sarees. The angvastra to be worn by the students will showcase Lucknow’s heritage and famous historical monuments of UP. In addition, it will also have sermons of former president APJ Abdul Kalam. It is also decided that the dignitaries will wear a maroon-coloured angvastra and a cream-coloured pagadi.

In each group, like engineering, management, fashion designing, computer applications and pharmacy, three medals each – gold, silver and bronze – will be awarded. On the occasion, the university will also release an annual report that will highlight the notable developments during the year.
