NEW DELHI: Prime minister Narendra Modi will be the chief guest at the 51st convocation of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi to be held on Saturday.

PM Modi will award certificates to the graduating students at the ceremony which will be held in a hybrid mode, that is part online and part presence in person.

Degrees will be conferred on 2019 graduating students,” Rao added.
