Honorary degrees given by esteemed institutions honour distinguished individuals who have made significant contributions to a field of study or society in general. IIT Kharagpur recently bestowed that honour on Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Pichai’s alma mater presented him with an honorary doctorate in a ceremony.

“Last week I was grateful to receive an honorary doctorate from my alma mater IIT Kharagpur. My parents always hoped I would get my doctorate, I think an honorary one still counts,” Pichai wrote.
