Hi Vijay, Societies everywhere are grappling with rapid transitions to digital modes of living. Even as digital tools are heralded for making life easy, they can also throw up a range of complexities that demand competence in understanding the social lives of technology and the bearing they have on our everyday life. The proliferation of the digital as a ubiquitous part of our routine has also created an urgent need for nuanced discussions that account for both social and the technical dimension of a digital society. The programme is designed to create a group of professionals who will: Contribute to the design, development and deployment of digital technologies for diverse social groups; Provide and manage solutions that address persistent challenges in domains such as finance, education, governance, health and entertainment; Engage in policy making and advocacy for deploying digital technologies; and Enrich interdisciplinary research on the digital society. EligibilityAn under-graduate degree (of at least 3 years duration) in any discipline (including arts, Science, commerce, design, management, law, engineering etc. ). With a first division/class from a recognised University. Those expecting to graduate by 1st August 2018 may also apply. The candidates who have a valid score in CAT 2017, CEED 2018 or TISSNET 2018 may be exempted from appearing for a written test at IIIT Bangalore. All the best.
