The graduates themselves also felt the start of a new chapter in their lives:
- The ceremonies were very solemn, but nevertheless the event was very warm, even in spite of all its seriousness. It was nice to hear the farewell words from the dean's office, there were some moments when tears came to our eyes. There was also a short summary of our years at Polytech, we really experienced a lot together and at the end, I think that most of the guys have an incredible sense of gratitude to the university and a lot of great memories.

Among the alumni there were international students who studied in Russian and in English, breaking the language barrier over the years and gaining invaluable knowledge.
- We really tried to immerse ourselves in studying in Russian, although initially it seemed impossible. With the help of teachers and tutors, we managed not only to learn the everyday language but also to go deeper into the subjects in Russian. At the ceremony, we reminisced about our first steps and we are very grateful for the opportunity.
In the future, graduates have different paths ahead - some want to continue their education and research, some want to build a career in education, and some go on to work for energy companies. We hope that all the graduates will be successful in their life goals and will remember our university with warmth.
