To celebrate the achievements of the Meteorology graduates, the Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology (FITB) held a special graduation celebration on October 23, 2024, at the ITB West Hall, prior to the main ceremony at Sabuga.
During the open ceremony, it was announced that a total of 5,053 graduates from various academic levels were conferred their degrees. This cohort included 3,399 bachelor’s degree graduates, 1,526 master’s degree graduates, and 128 doctoral degree graduates.

The 36 ITB Meteorology graduates comprise 33 students from the Class of 2020, two from the Class of 2019, and two from the Class of 2018. They have demonstrated a strong passion for learning while completing their studies in meteorology. Furthermore, this year’s achievement is particularly notable due to the rise in the graduation rate for meteorology students, which increased from 75% during the October 2023 ITB graduation ceremony to 88% this year.
