The Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay held its 58th convocation in virtual reality mode on Sunday.The premier institute thought it best to arrange a convocation in VR for the graduating students as it did not wish to put their health at risk but at the same time, not deprive them of the sense of achievement and pride of graduating.The personalized avatar of each graduate received the degree certificate from the customised avatar of the Director, Prof. Subhasis Chaudhuri.
The convocation is normally a chance for students to socialise with their friends and faculty one last time.
This year the institute provided an opportunity for students to do so via virtual presence, allowing students to roam around a virtual campus, visit their hostels and departments virtually, and bump into/meet their friends and faculty.
Prof. Duncan Haldane, co-recipient of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics, and a Professor of Physics at Princeton University, was the Chief Guest at the ceremony.
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is a public technical and research university located in Powai, Mumbai, India. IIT Bombay was founded in 1958. In 1961, the Parliament decreed IITs as Institutes of National Importance.
