ANANTAPUR: Central University of Andhra Pradesh (CUAP) will be organising its first convocation on July 1 at its new campus in Jantahlur of B.K. Samudram mandal in Anantapur district. President Droupadi Murmu will be chief guest on the occasion, CUAP vice chancellor Dr. S.A. Kori announced on Saturday.
The Central University has been allotted to Andhra Pradesh as part of bifurcation of combined AP to compensate for the loss of Hyderabad Central University. The institution initially functioned temporarily from buildings within the JNTU-A premises. It later occupied a private engineering college building.
The CUAP shifted to its permanent campus near Janthalur, about 15 km from the Anantapur district headquarters two years ago. Apart from President Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also been invited for the convocation, Dr Kori said. Other invitees include Governor of Andhra Pradesh Syed Abdul Nazeer, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The CUAP vice-chancellor said over 1,200 students will receive degrees and 61 gold medals, starting from the first batch that passed out in 2020 to the 2026 batch. All the candidates interested in attending the event and getting their degrees physically can visit the university website (cuap.ac.in) for further details.
