Alumni Relationship Committee
Alumni Relationship Committee (ARC) works to cultivate a strong bond between IMT Ghaziabad alumni and the institute. It helps build and maintain a strong alumni network through various outreach programs. The aim is to create meaningful networking opportunities and mentorship opportunities for current students to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
Initiatives by the Alumni Relationship Committee to offer current students hands-on industry experience and career guidance:
Fireside Chat: Fireside chats are panel discussions inviting senior IMT Ghaziabad alums to discuss crucial topics such as “The Importance of Keeping Your Mind Together” and “Corporate Expectations from Management Graduates”. The aim is to share their expert viewpoints, thus providing audience members with valuable insights. Moderated by senior professors of the institute, these chats facilitate constructive discussions on topics of relevance. These are some of the most anticipated events organised by ARC for the students of IMT Ghaziabad, who get a unique experience by witnessing discussions pertinent to current work environments from leading industry experts with diverse experiences and perspectives.
Short-Term Projects: ARC taps into the expansive and diverse pool of alumni to obtain implementable live projects for current batches through this initiative. Live projects help students gain relevant problem-solving skills, management techniques, and in-demand technical skills by working in a professional environment while pursuing their academic goals.
Mentorship Program: The mentorship program provides a unique opportunity for IMT Ghaziabad students to get personal guidance from industry experts to become the best among their peers. The program aims to provide students with an unparalleled experience to learn from distinguished alumni in their desired roles for the future. The mentors assist the students in preparing for their forthcoming corporate journey, enhancing their professional etiquette and grooming them to achieve their long-term goals.
In the academic year 2023-24, mentors from various companies, such as Big Basket, Aditya Birla Capital, SAP, and Google, joined the IMTians to share their valuable insights on current industry trends.
IMTtalks: IMTtalks acts as a touch point between IMT Ghaziabad and its alumni. The discussion is organised through a series of guest lectures as well as formal interactions to provide domain-specific knowledge and insights. These talks impart practical knowledge to students through alumni experiences and help them get a broader perspective of the latest industry trends.
Initiatives and outreach programs for fostering alumni connections:
All India Alumni Meets and Reunions: AIAMs are conducted as annual alumni dinners, which serve as occasions for alumni across several metropolitan cities to engage with each other. These gatherings are the most noteworthy events for the IMT Ghaziabad alumni fraternity in terms of alumni volume and level of interaction. They provide an excellent opportunity for the alumni to reconnect with their batch-mates.
In 2023, alumni meets were held nationwide in major cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. These meetings were met by an overwhelming response from IMT Ghaziabad’s diverse alumni pool, who utilised this opportunity to connect, creating varying opportunities and a strong network.
IMTG Across Borders: IMT Ghaziabad’s alumni network is spread worldwide, with the alumni gaining international recognition for their accomplishments. IMT Ghaziabad Across Borders is an initiative by the committee to connect with alumni globally by organising alumni meets in various cities overseas. This allows the institute to interact with eminent industry leaders across borders. They have connected with esteemed IMT Ghaziabad alumni through such summits in New York, London, and Dubai, with multiple new cities on the calendar for the upcoming months.
