Alumni Activities

VJIM Alumni Association is now 800 members strong with most of them in junior & middle level managerial positions in various Companies/Banks/Consultancies and some running their own or family businesses. The alumni members have been actively contributing not only to their own organisation but also in the institution building activities of their almamater. A few of these areas are listed out below.

Placements

By virtue of their being in the industry, the Alumni have built up contacts and networks over the years and are thus helping the Institute in terms of either giving placements or the necessary leads for the Institute's placement efforts.

Industry Interaction

They help the Institute in getting guest speakers, Industry expert views, keeping the Institute abreast with the latest goings on and developments in the industry. As ambassadors of the institute, they act as the much needed bridge between academics and industry practices.

Networking and e-groups

By maintaining the e-group, they are in touch with each other as well as the institute. This e-group is a forum for expression of their ideas, career openings and growth prospects as well as a link to the updates of institute happenings.

Alumni Meets

Every year the alumni meets in December (Second Saturday) to take stock of last one year happenings and to propose new ways in which they can help their almamater. As an outcome of these meets, various workshops to particularly give them career counselling, developing their GD and interview skills and also their communication skills are organised. In addition, they also interact in twos or threes with the students in the "Meet our alumni" program and give useful feedback and tips on their industry experiences.

Entrepreneurship Seminar

Apart from this, they conduct the Foundation Day Seminar in February every year on the theme of "Entrepreneurship". The objective of this series of seminars is to inculcate and encourage the spirit of entrepreneurship among students.
