TESTIMONIALS
How alumni support makes a difference.
01 / 03
“Pay It Forward”
Despite securing a spot at one of India’s premier institutions, I faced the prospect of discontinuing my education due to financial constraints. Thanks to the education loan extended by our alumni network, I was able to persevere in my studies.

“Unwavering Support”
During my first semester, I found myself in debt after covering my college fees. IIIT alumni came to my rescue when I reached out for help. Their support provided financial relief and gave me confidence that the community stands ready to assist students like me.

Thanks to employer matching and tax deduction benefits, my contribution to a cause I’m deeply connected to can have a multiplier effect. I was also glad to learn that my employer matches volunteer hours.
