ICG-IISU ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION-BANDHAN

Bandhan, Alumnae Association of IIS University was formed since the time when the first batch of ICG, now IIS (deemed to be University) graduated and bid farewell to its alma mater. It is one of the happiest occasions for an educational institution to see its products grow, mature and do well in life, facing all its challenges armed with knowledge, courage and zeal. ICG, which was founded in 1995, with just 53 students, has since grown and flourished over the years to become IIS deemed to be University. The popularity of the institution can be fathomed by the ever-growing number of students coming from various parts of India and abroad to study here and live up to the traditions of academic   excellence, as laid down by its alumnae. 

Bandhan aims to encourage the alumnae of the University to take an abiding interest in the progress and development of their alma mater and reconnect with it through the following means:

• It holds executive council meetings from time to time, and alumnae meet cum get together every year to further strengthen the bond of the students with their alma mater.
• To maintain a strong and consistent relationship with its alumnae the association encourages them to interact with current students through guest lectures/discussions and are invited to be a part of all the cultural as well as academic events that take place on campus. 
• The Alumnae Association maintains year wise database of the former students through excel spreadsheets and handbooks, updating the same from time to time. This database is used for communication with the alumnae.
• Every year the alumnae association of the university publishes a student directory of the passing out batch to keep the latest record of their contact details. 
• The University website has a link to alumnae registration wherein the form requires the educational qualification and current profession to be filled by students

• The Alumnae Association of the university is in the process of creating an Alumnae Web Portal with the aim to generate a unique registration ID for the alumnae to make it simpler for them to update their details on the portal.
