In a statement, the university said it didn't want to deprive students of the "pride" of graduating because of the pandemic, so it created the virtual effort.
"Providing a virtual reality experience to all our graduates needed not only highly innovative steps but also a tremendous effort by our professors and staff," Prof. Subhasis Chaudhuri, the director of IIT Bombay, said.
