Power of Alumni…!

It is said that an institution’s alumni are the reflection of its past, representation
of its present, and a link to its future. Alumni are brand ambassadors of an
institute and the best advocates for graduating students. The Placement Team of

our department could actually realize it in this summer. The story goes like this...
In BTech Semester-VII curricula, there is a course, SP701 Practical Training wherein
the students are to take training in the industry, research organization, or a
renowned academic institution during their summer break. This year, due to the
Dr Sachin Gajjar
Associate Professor, EC COVID-19 outbreak, based on the advisory guidelines of UGC and AICTE, our
University decided to go for ‘Online Internship’ where the internship related
activities can be carried by the students digitally from their home. With the current challenging time, it was a

tough task for the Placement Team to place 125 students into industries. The team under the leadership of HOD
thought of approaching the University's loyal supporters, the ALUMNI to help them in this herculean task. With
amazing support from the alumni, 112 students were placed in 38 different industries either owned by the alumni
or where they are a part of it. The count includes 17 students who are getting a stipend for their internship

work. Help was extended by Alumnus of all the years including the one from 1999 batch to the one from 2019
batch. The placement team is incredibly grateful for the overwhelming generosity and care for alma matter shown
by the Alumni. The team will always look forward to the Alumni for their support for the years to come!
