Kartik Aaryan is now officially an engineer and he has a degree to prove it. The actor attended the convocation ceremony of DY Patil University in Mumbai recently where he had initially enrolled himself to study engineering - over a decade ago. Kartik took to Instagram on Saturday to share snippets from the event, where not only was he honoured on stage, but he also let loose and danced with students and walked down memory lane reliving his college days.

He added, “DY Patil University, you gave me memories, dreams, and now, finally, my degree (only took over a decade!). Thank you, Vijay Patil Sir, my incredible teachers, and the young dreamers here for all the love- this feels like coming home”.
