ISEC Ph.D Students Alumni
ISEC Ph.D Students 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.
