REGULAR ALUMNAE MEETS

Every year Alumnae meets are conducted on graduation day when the fresh graduates come together to receive their degrees. The respective faculty members of each department interact with them and elicit information on what they are currently doing. Some of them are employed, some may already have been placed through on-campus or off-campus placement, some may be pursuing higher studies while others are seeking jobs. Whichever the case may be, details regarding the students are entered into a database for future reference.

SPECIAL ALUMNI MEETS

Special 'Alumnae Meets' are also convened once in a while to invite old graduates who may find it convenient to attend the meet. Such meets were organized in 2009, 2013 and once again in 2016. Alumnae who have rose to remarkable positions in their fields are awarded with 'Best Alumnae Awards' during such meets. Information on our old students is passed on by faculty to the Alumnae Association. Some students meet faculty when they visit places. Others visit the college, whenever possible to talk to their teachers. Out of those about whom we receive information, we identify students who have really done something to our society and nation, who are entrepreneurs or who occupy prominent or high positions in organizations. These persons are nominated by the respective Head of the Department as recipients of the “Best Alumnae Award”. The academic committee of the college then decides the persons who will be receiving the awards out of those nominated by the heads of the departments.

The recipients of the award are invited in person to attend the meet and an open invitation is published in the local dailies inviting all alumnae to attend the meet. A special chief guest is also arranged to address the alumnae. The recipients of the award interact with others and address the gathering. A grand dinner is also arranged for the participants on that day.

The awardees are nominated by the respective departments.
