The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), one of the world's finest education houses, not only stands for consistency and excellence in creating intellectually capable and entrepreneurial professionals in the field of science and technology, but also for the strong sense of loyalty and responsibility that its students feel for its alma mater and fellow IITians.
There's always a sense of belongingness when one IITian meets another. What culminates thereafter is a strong network of enthusiastic professionals that carries the IIT torch further, beyond geographical boundaries.
The IIT Alumni Association Singapore (IITAAS), started in 1993, is a NON-PROFIT organization, dedicated towards building a network of IIT alumnus in Singapore to foster and promote the IIT brand equity. Though in its germination stage, the energy and zeal of its members have allowed the IITAAS to achieve several commendable targets in such a short time. But it aims tall and hence seeks even greater enthusiasm and support to reach its powerful best!
