NIT Durgapur will hold the convocation scheduled to be held last year on January 12 on virtual mode because of the pandemic.
A notification issued by the institute says graduating students will receive their degree certificates in an “animated mode” sitting at home.
The animated mode will involve a process wherein a scanned copy of the certificate will fly across the screen of a computer, from the end of the department head or director (featured in a panel on the screen) to the recipient (featured in another panel).
“The animated mode can be accessed on a computer or a smartphone,” said an NIT official.
