Alumni and Connect
Alumni Association
The Alumni Association, registered under the Societies Act in 2015, currently comprises professionals from various industries, both national and international. It serves as a grand platform offering endless opportunities to build relationships, participate in institutional activities, and promote industry connections. The alumni also play a critical role in quality enhancement by providing periodic feedback.
As of now, KIM boasts more than 1,950 alumni members. The association organizes annual alumni events on campus and chapter meets in different metropolitan cities. It maintains a dedicated portal that not only serves as an information hub but also strengthens activities such as career guidance, student-alumni interactions, internship support, and placement preparations.
The association organizes various events and opportunities for alumni to network and connect with each other, as well as with current students and faculty. It plays a vital role in supporting the career development of its members by providing resources, hosting career fairs and industry-specific events, and offering mentorship programs and career coaching.
In addition to its professional development efforts, the association engages with the wider community by organizing community service projects, volunteer opportunities, social events, and reunions. It creates meaningful opportunities for alumni to connect with each other and the institution. Fundraising is another key responsibility, supporting scholarships, institutional development, and other initiatives.
Effective communication is integral to the alumni association’s activities. This includes publishing newsletters, magazines, and other materials, managing social media accounts and online platforms, and keeping alumni informed about institutional news and association events. The association also plans and executes events, manages membership records and dues, and provides membership benefits and services.
Furthermore, the alumni association governs the organization by overseeing its strategy and direction, managing finances and budgets, and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. It fosters relationships with current students, supports student organizations and initiatives, and facilitates connections between students and alumni. Additionally, the association collaborates with the institution’s administration and faculty to advance mutual goals, provide feedback, and suggest improvements for the institution.
