IIMP ALUMNI

"Nobody is bothered about an institution more than its alumni." N. R. Narayana Murthy

Our alumni are our best ambassadors in the corporate world. The alumni committee functions to strengthen the bond between alumni and the alma mater.

Indira Alumni Association: The Indira Alumni Association is a registered society under the Societies Registration Act 1860. The registration date of the Indira Alumni Association is 5/24/2007. It has members comprising alumni and Indira representatives as trustees. The association has its own memorandum of association with clear aims and objectives documented for it. The association is a platform for various bonding and sharing activities between the IIMP alumnus and the institute. The association has its own bank account and PAN number for operational purposes. IIMP pass-out students can become members by making an application in the prescribed form at very nominal fees.

Involvement of alumni

Alumni are a rich source of experience and corporate happenings. To make this resource available to students, IIMP ‘s alumni contribute to academics as follows:

• The alumni constantly come and interact with students of the institute as part of CLDP programs. (Normally on Saturdays and Sundays.).
• Some alumni are actively involved in the placement activities of the institute.
• The alumni conduct mock interviews, in which they interact with the students and help them overcome their problems or shortcomings in facing the interviews by giving them feedback.
• Curriculum revision and activity planning are deeply influenced by alumni interaction and feedback. Alumni are a part of the Board of Studies.
• They also help the students in their summer internships by evaluating them on viva voce and giving feedback.

Methodology to connect with Alumni and its implementation

• Indira Alumni Cell: The Alumni Cell strives to bridge the gap between Indira Institute of Management, Pune (IIMP) and its esteemed alumni community by facilitating, coordinating & communicating various activities, seminars, alumni meets. Alumni create the Institute’s reputation, which relies in large part on how successful graduates are in the real world. We aim to connect, inform and engage the alumni, the students and the institute with each other for the purpose of generating a multifaceted support for IIMP. Our ambassadors to the corporate world, IIMP alumni continue to bring laurels to their alma mater, though the accolades they garner in their chosen fields and organizations. IIMP Alumni Cell works in conjunction with the student administration bodies and is therefore constantly in touch with the needs and wants of the students. It connects the students with the alumni, giving them a chance to interact with some of the most eminent personalities in all fields of work. It works towards making their learning experience more holistic.
• Alumni Mentoring Programme (AMP) – Advice and Perspective help graduates to set goals and track progress for life. The alumni cell launched their unique program called, “Alumni Mentoring Program”. A well designed and long-term mentoring connection with those people who were once in their shoes – “The Alumni” will lead to a confusion-free decision making process.
  The sense of responsibility has motivated IIMP to start with the initiative of Alumni Mentoring Program (AMP). The process for AMP started in June 2017. A mailer was sent to alumni of IIMP (MBA) batch of 2005, 2006 and 2007 informing them of this program and inviting them to register their willingness to mentor the current students. 80 alumni have accepted our invitation and are successfully mentoring the students. This initiative has led to the creation of a relationship between past and present students of IIMP which is mutually beneficial. The network created through this program helps the students in building a successful career in future and also proves as a goodwill for the campus community.
• Annual Alumni Meet: Alumni meet is held every year in the month of January. The alumni participate in panel discussion on relevant topics for the benefit of the students. This interaction is useful from the point of view of getting feedback from Alumni on the curriculum and placement opportunities available in the economy. Such sessions are of great importance to the institution and its students. On the same day we hold alumni gathering in which informal interaction between the alumni and the faculty takes place extensively. The alumni meet features recognising the exemplary alumni and entrepreneurs from the pass out batch through various awards namely the Brand of Indira , Asset of Indira and Star of Indira The feedback obtained from the alumni in such sessions receives serious considerations at the level of the Institution.
• Pratibimb : Pratibimb is an annual alumni newsletter. It contains information on activities being organised for the students, articles written by alumni, achievement of alumni and faculty members. It also includes event calendar.
• Database: Periodic review of Alumni Database is done which is undertaken by the Alumni committee members. Database Updation is a critical task as it involves documenting the company profile, designation, location of the alumni and the necessary info that is required for the current batch.
