M.Sc Alumni 2018-2022

A database for alumni has been built and will be regularly updated. This endeavor was launched with the goal of maintaining alumni engagement so that alumni can learn about their batch mates' whereabouts and profit from the placement cell, where vacancies and opportunities can be utilized. This also aids in identifying possible graduates who, if willing, may provide valuable service to the institute. As a result, the alumni association serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences on topics of mutual.
