## Shrinath Dakarebatch of '20

"One of the alumnus from 1965 batch asked me top 20 in what? India? I
told him that kgp is already among top 5 in India, and he was
amazed. He told me that he is keen to visit IITKGP again, as he
never visited kgp back after his graduation."

## Md Zaman Khanbatch of '20

"Varied feedbacks but most of the alumni were pretty concerned about
the
expected hike in the tuition fee.""

## Hamdan Iftikharbatch of '20

"Being a part of phonathon 2.0 was indeed an amazing experience. From
that nervousness before making the first call, to the 'peace' later,
it all felt great. I made a lot of new friends in the process, both
from my batch and seniors alike. I was glad to know the impression
IIT Kharagpur has left on the alumni, and their willingness to
support and give back to their Alma Mater. A special thanks to
Students' Alumni Cell for giving me the chance to be a part of it."

## Anmol Thakkarbatch of '20

"It was quite a funda session for me with an
alumnus who is an
entrepreneur. He shared some of the insights and his own
experiences.Do you have a
dream? he asked. Don't worry about success or failure | Jump
in | This is the time of
your life when you
should take risks. He was stressing the fact that it's you
who matters. Its in the
little steps that you
take,result into success."
