Since the 1970 Golden Jubilee Reunion should have taken place in 2020, the pandemic played
spoilsport to the event. But IIT Bombay and IIT Bombay Alumni Association resolved to hold an in-
person reunion for the 1970 batch, even if it happened three years later. So, please come back to
your alma mater during this milestone occasion and relive your glorious memories from the past
with your fellow alums.
