The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are often described as gateways to opportunities that might otherwise have been harder to access. Alumni across campuses highlight how the IIT experience extends beyond academics, offering networks, mentorship, and exposure that shape careers and personal growth for decades.

IIT Kanpur’s IITKarvaan 2025 brought alumni together across cities, reinforcing lifelong bonds and professional collaborations. Meanwhile, IIT Delhi is preparing for its 12th Alumni Day on December 21, 2025, celebrating the enduring influence of its community.
