Students should take competitive exams, join government service and contribute to the economic growth of the country, said B. Anand, Additional Secretary and Financial Advisor, Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Earth Sciences and Development of Science and Technology.

Speaking at the 19th convocation of Sethu Institute of Technology at Pulloor near Kariapatti in Virudhunagar district on Saturday, he said there was a huge disparity between number of students appearing for competitive exams from south Indian states and north Indian ones. More representation must be made from the South as students here were equally competent.

As engineers could find their niche in all spheres and help create a functional environment, they must become entrepreneurs, Mr. Anand said and elaborated how the present technological boom would provide engineers several opportunities to begin successful businesses.

H. Devaraj, former vice-chairman, University Grants Commission, encouraged students cultivate the virtue of patience to go a long way in life. Students must also focus on improving skills, he said.

College founder and chairman S. Mohamed Jaleel, Principal A.Senthil Kumar, Chief Executive Officer S. M Seeni Mohaideen, Joint Chief Executive Officer S.M Seeni Mohamed Aliar and heads of departments participated in the function.

A total of 503 students from various streams received their degree certificates.
