The features of extending helping hand, scholarships for economically deprived / COVID19 affected, celebrating Silver Jubilee and honouring Golden jubilee re-unions each year in December at the Institute campus have already made inroads into our sustainable credentials. The website of Alumni developed from in-house resources of 1972 to current batch of students is undergoing a sea change to add on new features to make it more interactive and vibrant for our intermingling. After having cast our academic foundation in the Institute; with an acquired credentials until life transition, we all are nurturing our professional & personal lives in a way that is unique to each one of us. Therefore the Alumni maintains an ethical standards that goes well with no hierarchical linkages, a voluntary setup, respect for dignity and diversities of our personal and professional lives, transparency & impartiality in our actions / programs, enjoyments through fun and fellowship in all our activities. We realise that our incredible imprints; through 4 to 5 years of life in the Institute campus; were carved out while the parental controls were dampening and our own family life yet to begin. Thus creating a unique space in our minds to forge out everlasting friendship and fellowship. Many of our professionals have maintained the friendships with colleagues lasting voyage more than even with their respective parents and married life, evidencing the metallurgical strength in our bondages.

Under the given scenario; a thought of NEST emerges; like birds collect the requisite (tinka) and constructs the NEST that is all weather proof to sustain heat, winds and rains built with their professional competency; without going to any College!!!. We also are inspired to form the NEST for select topics by drawing the professionals from world wide sources. The lead is taken by a Chapter on select specialities of their choice. Such as “Industry Sponsored Research”, “Equity participation by Alumni in Startup of Alumni”, “Mentoring”, “Sponsored Events Management” , “Managing a Lecture series by experts” and more…Like watching the flying birds, we are now talking of “Engineers without Borders”, “Engineering with Nature” and many more such endeavours. Our Alumni NEST; we believe; shall also emerge as a major milestone of our identity over the decades ahead…

In addition to the website; we do have Alumni activities of fun & fellowship, helping hand going on through the WhatsApp groups and mobile App Alumni Connect. The innovative feature of our Website is to blend this think tank of experienced professionals to blow the wind beneath the wings of the young generations so that they can professionally fly as high as they can.
