In a heartwarming event at IIIT Bangalore's 24th convocation on July 7, a mother-son duo, Ranjani MV, 48, and Raghav SN, 22, graduated together.
Ranjani received her PhD in Algorithms in Computer Science, while Raghav earned his MTech. Both collaborated on projects during their studies. Ranjani, a BMS College of Engineering alumna, took a 13-year career break to care for her children before completing a master's at PES University.
This duo's achievement was part of a larger ceremony where 343 students graduated, including 121 from the integrated MTech programme and 11 PhD scholars.
