IIT Bombay will host a Mini Convocation for the batch of 2020 and 2021 on August 6, 2022. The event will be held in two parts – The first session will be held in the Convocation Hall from 10:00 AM – 11: 30 AM and the second session will be held by each department from 2:00 PM-4:30 PM.

The inauguration of the ‘Kadayam S. Srinivasan Micro-Factory’ and ‘Harivallabh Nagar Micro-Factory,’ will be held on August 12, 2022. These micro-factories have been set up through the generous donations by our alumni – Mr. Balaji Srinivasan (B.Tech, Chemical Engineering, 1993) and Mr. Sumeet Nagar (B. Tech, Mechanical Engineering, 1993).

By way of context, the micro-factories form an integral part of IIT Bombay’s Maker Space initiative that intends to provide the students with an exposure to state-of-the-art thematic labs and the latest design and manufacturing practices. The objective of this project is to transform the educational experience of students by enabling hands-on learning with the help of advanced facilities akin to those found in real-world industrial setups. The micro-factories are equipped with 3D printers, laser cutters, forming machines, electronic lathes, and the latest modeling software to enhance their research.

The 60^th convocation ceremony for the 2022 batch of students graduating from IIT Bombay will be held on August 20, 2022, at IITB’s campus. Graduating students will be conferred their degrees during this momentous occasion that marks the culmination of their student lives. It’s also a day filled with joy and celebration when students get together, reminisce about their time at IITB, and socialize with their friends and faculty one last time before they embark on the next phase of their lives.

IIT Bombay will celebrate India’s 75^th Independence Day on August 15, 2022. The Institute celebrates India’s independence every year by honouring and saluting the country’s freedom fighters.

IIT Bombay represents some of the best science and technology talent in India. The Institute has always promoted gender equality and women empowerment, even as our next generation of women students will join a legacy of women alumnae and global icons such as Padma Shri awardees Dr. Rohini M. Godbole, Dr. Sharada Srinivasan, and more.

To honour these exceptional women alumnae and their many stellar accomplishments, IIT Bombay, along with our alumnus, Mr. D.C. Agrawal, will be hosting an event called the ‘IIT Bombay Gen Zero Women Initiative’ with the launch of a coffee-table book and a podcast highlighting their stories.

One of the key ways for alumni to volunteer their services to their alma mater is through the Alumni Student Mentorship Program (ASMP). The latter facilitates one-on-one meetings between IITB’s alumni and the Institute’s students. Through ASMP, alumni mentor and guide the students with life-changing decisions regarding their future career paths, offer their expertise to departments and faculty, help with fundraising initiatives, arrange for guest speakers at events held at the Institute, and more.

Third-year undergraduate students from IIT Bombay have the opportunity to attend a mock internship interview program called Nail The Prep 2022. Alumni members will engage students in mock interviews and provide them with their immediate and personalized feedback. Nail The Prep allows students to prepare for their future real-life interviews by using the detailed insights provided to them by the alumni.

The mock interviews will be held in the fields of Management – Consulting, Analytics, Finance, IT/Software, FMCG, HR, and more.

The Student Alumni Relations Cell (SARC) will organize the annual 10-day mega telephonic jam – Phonathon 2022. The event will allow students to interact with a diverse group of alumni members from all over the world via phone calls. The annual Phonathon allows students to get an insight from alumni about life after IIT Bombay, while alumni members get the most recent updates on their alma mater from current students of the Institute.

IIT Bombay is organizing a two/three-day reunion for our alumni members who are part of the Indian Civil Services.
