advantages of a dual degree program at DD Q&A 2019

IIITH conducts a series of welcome sessions to help acclimatize students to their new environment and assure parents that their wards are in safe hands. These sessions are also meant to convey the ethos of the institute to different groups - a common session for all students, a separate session for parents and others who come with them, and a session with alumni as well as special sessions for students and parents of the research-based dual-degree programs. The crown jewel of these sessions is a free-flowing one conducted exclusively for parents to convey the institute’s aspirations for the incoming class, beyond the ordinary pursuits of a high-paying job or a spot in a prestigious graduate school. And to make parents willing enthusiastic partners in fulfilling those aspirations. Educational institutions focus too much on the how of the subject (the skills) and sometimes on the why (the science). We also want our students to reflect on the what. What should they do with the skills and the science they acquire, for themselves, their families, and society at large? This needs introspection and reflection, activities not rated high by today’s society. We urge each student to introspect on he or she values most, beyond what the media, friends, parents, or society tells them. The results of such an exercise should guide their actions in the short, medium and long terms. This is not an easy endeavour for students, their parents, or the institute. However, it is imperative for everyone to realize the importance of this effort. All we can hope for is to set their minds thinking in this direction. The session with parents attempts to convey this, in addition to listening to their views. We are always gratified to see the convergence in the thinking of the parents with our own. The questions from parents are both from their heads and hearts, and faculty respond likewise in this freewheeling exchange that sometimes goes on for close to 3 hours till all queries are suitably addressed. Year on year parents give this session high ratings, reiterating our belief in what we are striving to accomplish. A recording of the dual degree Parents’ Session 2019 is now available for everyone. The session was not meant for the camera; we had difficulty editing it suitably. It is being presented in mostly a raw form here. We hope the parents who have gone through such a session in the past will connect readily with it, and parents and students who are considering IIIT Hyderabad find a clear enunciation of the institute’s ethos to help make that decision, away from societal pressure.
