A lighthearted moment from IIT Ropar’s convocation has gone viral, racking up over 17 million views in a day and winning hearts across social media. The now-famous clip captures a quirky exchange between a graduating student and a professor that left the crowd in splits.
In the video, a student named Kartik is seen walking up to collect his degree. As he poses for a photo, he turns to the professor beside him and cheekily asks if he can wear sunglasses for the picture. The professor, amused, readily agrees. Kartik then ups the ante, saying, “Sir aapke liye bhi hai (Sir, I have a pair for you as well),” prompting the professor to smile and reply, “Laao (Give me).”
Without missing a beat, the professor swaps his regular glasses for the shades and strikes a pose with the student, drawing cheers and laughter from the audience.
“When your Professor says yes to black shades at convocation… and rocks them too while awarding degrees! Iconic moments only at IIT Ropar,” read the caption that accompanied the viral clip.
Convocation ceremonies often throw up viral moments as students and professors drop formalities for lighthearted exchanges that strike a chord online. From playful banter to unexpected gestures, these events become a stage for feel-good clips that travel far beyond campus walls.
Last year, a University of Texas professor earned applause after pausing a graduation ceremony to personally hand a student his cap that had fallen off, sharing a brief hug, a video that went viral on TikTok.
In 2023, an NYU professor gave a student a surprise fist bump on stage after the student revealed he was the first in his family to graduate, sparking waves of praise online.
