Power of Alumni!

Dr. Sachin Gajjar

Associate Proessor

It is said that an institution’s alumni are the reflection of its past, represen-
tation of its present, and a link to its future. Alumni are brand ambassadors

of an institute and the best advocates for graduating students. The Place-
ment 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 sum-
mer break. This year, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, based on the advisory

guidelines of UGC and AICTE, our University decided to go for ‘Online Intern-

ship’ 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!
