Vice-President C. P. Radhakrishnan was the chief guest at the 15th Graduation Day Ceremony of which institution?

  1. A.Government Medical College, Kozhikode
  2. B.Sree Uthradom Thirunal Academy of Medical Sciences
  3. C.Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology
  4. D.Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences

Correct answer

B. Sree Uthradom Thirunal Academy of Medical Sciences

Explanation

The correct answer is the Sree Uthradom Thirunal Academy of Medical Sciences, usually shortened to SUT Academy of Medical Sciences, which held its 15th Graduation Day Ceremony at Thiruvananthapuram with the Vice-President as chief guest. In his address he spoke of the place the institution holds in the healthcare and medical education landscape of Keralam, and welcomed the opening there of Robotic Surgery and Computer-Aided Diagnosis facilities. Option A is wrong because no ceremony at Kozhikode is involved here. Option C names a different and well known institute in the same city, but it is not the host of this graduation ceremony, so it is wrong. Option D is wrong because that institute is not connected with this event either. The pairing to remember for the examination is the Vice-President, the 15th Graduation Day and the SUT Academy of Medical Sciences at Thiruvananthapuram.
