On 16 December 2006, The NIT Rourkela 4th convocation was a momentous occasion brimming with excitement, as we gathered to celebrate the culmination of our hard work—our B.Tech degrees (Batch 2004-06). We are the pioneering batch of NIT Rourkela (formerly REC Rourkela, which became NIT in 2002), entering the campus in 2002 and hence being part of the 4th NIT convocation when we graduated in 2006. The campus was alive with energy, a delightful mix of pride, joy, and nostalgia. Classmates, friends, and families united to honor this significant milestone in our academic journey, creating an atmosphere that was both festive and reflective. Dressed in our graduation robes, we exchanged smiles and stories, reminiscing about the challenges we faced and the friendships we forged during our time at the institute.

As each name was called and degrees were awarded, the air resonated with cheers, laughter, and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. Each handshake and the receipt of our diplomas symbolized not only our individual achievements but also the collective experiences that defined our years at NIT Rourkela. The day was a beautiful tapestry of emotions, weaving together memories of late-night study sessions, shared triumphs, and the bonds that grew stronger over time.

This convocation was not just a celebration of our past but also a gateway to new beginnings. As we stepped off the stage, diploma in hand, we were filled with hope and ambition, ready to take on the challenges of the world. The lessons learned and the friendships made during our time at NIT Rourkela will always hold a special place in our hearts, guiding us as we embark on our respective journeys. This day marked the end of one chapter and the exciting start of another, reminding us that the future is bright for those who dare to dream.
