ISEC Ph.D Students Alumni

Alumni

The ISEC Alumni Association is a key link between the Institute and its alumni. It has been formed with a prime objective of bridging the gap between the Institute and its PhD scholars who are placed in different corners of the globe. Its aim is to cultivate and enrich its relationship with the past and present Alma Mater. In order to maintain academic and professional relationship, the Alumni has been formed. This would help us to develop and maintain a mutually beneficial relationship and thereby to extend support and contribute to the life of the Institute and its various activities.

Membership

Membership to the Alumni is free of charge and is open to former full-time/part-time Ph.D students of ISEC. Those students who have not registered may kindly send their details along with present position, address, telephone numbers and email address to Dr. N. Sivanna, sivanna@isec.ac.in or System Administrator admn@isec.ac.in so as to enable us to maintain a complete and proper list of Alumni members and to upload to the website.

Alumni Meet

The first ISEC Ph.D Alumni meet was organised on 19th January 1997 as a part of the Silver Jubilee Celebrations. Dr. P.V. Shenoi, Director released the Volumes of "Who is Who", "Reminiscences" and Curriculum Vitae" of ISEC Ph.D Alumni on this occasion. Ph.D laureates nostalgically spoke about the excellent training they had received at ISEC for building up their career and in making a mark in whatever profession they were in.
