Mother, son complete their IIT-M programmes together

Aditya Kapadia, 23, and his mother Jigisha Tailor, 49, both graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Madras in 2026. Aditya earned a B.S. degree in Data Science and Applications, while his mother completed a Diploma in Data Science. Jigisha, a former electronics teacher, took a break from her career in 2019 to support her sons' education and later pursued upskilling through her son's enrollment in the IIT-Madras program. The university's non-campus degree programs aim to provide accessible education, with flexible fees based on family income. Aditya now works in agritech, while Jigisha plans to return to teaching after her younger son finishes school.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced narrative about the educational achievements of a mother-son duo without overtly favoring any political ideology. It focuses on personal achievement and institutional accessibility rather than partisan issues.
