IMT ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The IMT Alumni Association is a registered legal entity which was formed to work for the benefit of the IMT alumni. It is registered under the Welfare Societies Act and therefore no individual can gain personal benefits from this venture. The President Alumni Relationship Committee and The Director IMT are permanent nominated members in the Executive Board of the Alumni Association. This is done with the intend so that the Alumni Association (which comprises of the alumni) and the Alumni Relation Committee (which comprises of the current students, Director and nominated / elected alumni members) at the institute work with the common objective of building Brand IMT. The Alumni Association and the Alumni relationship committee are therefore two separate bodies but the President of the Alcom is nominated by the Association. All IMTian passing out before 2011 are life members of the association, from the year 2012 onwards a nominal fee of Rs.500 is charged as a lifetime membership fee. The Alumni Association has seen a modest beginning, but going forward the vision of the association is to build platforms of common benefit for the alumni that will bind them together. The initiatives may not be customised to an individual’s requirement, but as long as the initiative is built on the promise of benefitting a large number of alumni, the association will support it. Most projects at the moment are outsourced and therefore it is upto the alumni’s sole discretion to take a call if or not to go for the project. For each initiative therefore a team of IMT alumni is set up, who are experts in that context. This group evaluates the project on relevant parameters and then introduces it to the larger base of alumni.

For each initiative therefore a team of IMT alumni is set up, who are experts in that context. This group evaluates the project on relevant parameters and then introduces it to the larger base of alumni. IMT Alumni Association does not intend to seek funds or sponsorships for any of its activities and yet needs to be a self-sustaining model. Going forward we might look at hiring resources who can contribute towards the association activities. One of the thoughts in this direction is to hire an IMTian who is currently on a career break, but is able to spare a few hours every week to do the needful alumni related work. However to do this, we need a source of fund. The funds collected therefore are to be used for these purposes to start with plus administrative expenses like registration fees, fee paid to CA for maintaining accounts, submitting returns, etc. Some of the recent projects of the Alumni Association have been: The Online IMT Merchandise shop The association has tied up with Alma Mater – a reputed specialised online portal that offers college merchandise like T Shirts, Mugs, other gift items. Alumni can log on to the site almamaterstore.in/imt and purchase online. The products will be directly delivered by almamater to the address specified. It is also possible to design your own T – shirts on the site.
It has been a constant endeavor of the IMT Alumni Committee to build relationship between the Alumni and the Institute and therefore build Brand IMT. The Annual Alumni meet: The theme AMPHI NIGHTS was chosen to throwback the feisty days of college life and take you to a nostalgic walk. A setup of the Amphi stage was there at the venue with the DJ playing your favourite college time numbers. Amphi has been a part of the IMT culture for most IMTians and almost triggers nostalgia in the heart of every IMTians. The other place many of the alumni recollect is the Chungi and the Goverdhan ka parthas. So Chungi for the Paratha’s was set up at the venue. The meet was organized in 6 major cities: Mumbai + Hyderabad on 9th November, Delhi + Chennai on 23rd November and Kolkata + Bangalore on 30th November 2013.
KnowledgeKonnect: A series of guest lectures by distinguished alumni from various sectors, was one such initiative that was well received by the student fraternity and the alumni alike. It was a great learning experience for the current students. The icing on the cake was the motivational session by Krish Dhanam, prolific public speaker in the United States as well as one of our most celebrated alumni. Krish Dhanam’s session captivated the student community and triggered a huge wave of appreciation to the committee in the days that followed.
The Director IMT has strongly supported this initiative and work has started to extend Chapter meets at Dubai, Singapore and US soon.
HR alumni meet in Delhi and Mumbai was organized, which saw active participation from our alumni in the HR field for a panel discussion on “Engaging Gen-Y.
The Alcom and Alumni Association also installed and declared a special “The Spirit of IMT” award for the alumni who has contributed significantly for the alumni work and also done well in his professional career. The award for the year was given to Mr.Rajesh Kumar who has created jobs4imtians and run it for more than a decade now.
Short term Projects: Alcom wishes to thank the alumni for extending support to the current students in the form of Short term projects. More than 250 projects came in this year and helped the students get a great experience and exposure of the industry.
Looking forward to support in building up Alumni relationships and Brand IMT, The Alumni Relationship Committee organized a Batch Champion election this year. The winners of the same were decided through a poll among the batch mates. The selected candidates after having confirmed their availability were declared as the Batch Coordinators. Moving ahead, the Batch Champions would be the spokesperson for their batch and we request them to represent their batch in any events, activities, engagements with IMT. The Batch Co-ordinators will be a part of the external arm of IMT ALCOM. They will represent their batch in any events/activities /engagements with IMT. This will help in a smooth coordination of events like Reunion, HR Meet, AIM, inter-city Meet etc. The concept also aims at helping in maintenance of accurate database details.
