About Alumni
The first batch of students joined the college in 1994 and graduated in 1998. They, as every succeeding graduating class, all share a common link with the college, built up through the years spent at the campus with possibly the most beautiful sunsets in Pune.
Of course, there is more to the AIT experience: for instance, the gathering of bright minds from all across India, the first college experience for young high-school graduates, the student clubs, the inter-college and youth festivals (at which AITians have a reputation for excellence), sports meets, the lecturers and staff - and many other personal memories that each Alumnus has.
The other link all AIT Alumni share is their connection to the Indian Army. Many know each other before coming to Pune, perhaps having spent some of their childhood years together at a far away military outpost, but all take away some special friendships. The Adjutant General (AG) of the Indian Army is the ex-officio Chairman of the Board of Governors of AIT, which body has many senior officers as its members.
Members of the Association are now spread all over India and across the world. They are to be found not just in traditional engineering or Information Technology concerns, but also in the world's leading educational institutions, financial and professional services firms, creative agencies and entrepreneurial efforts - this is not a comprehensive list!
The aim of the Alumni Association is to allow each Alumnus - a fresh graduate or one from the first batches - to leverage professional contacts, renew or build social ones and to constructively contribute to the community and the Alma Mater.
