The Annual Alumni Meet - Nostalgia, 2012, of the Asia Pacific Institute of Management proved to be that pause. The event was organized on 24th November 2012. This was the 14th Alumni Meet of the Institute wherein more than 700 alumni participated. Nostalgia means ‘Remembrance of Special Memories’. The first Nostalgia was organized in 1999 and from there on, Asia-Pacific has kept this theme alive and is committed to organize this event every year for creating a platform for the alumni of reunion, re-living their old campus days and sharing the experience with existing students. The event was brought to life by the vivacious performances organized by the students of the current batch. The event was a grand success in all respects with a plethora of cultural events organized and managed by the students, which included group songs, dance and comedy shows, etc. All-in-all, the evening resulted in sharing of reminiscent times, new networks building, rich experience sharing and a lot of appreciation conveyed by the alumni to AIM for such an exemplary event management. The all-pervasive feeling of the occasion is extracted in this one quote - “Education is what survives, after you’ve forgotten what you memorized.” Refer to this pic, From left, Mr. Sandeep sharma-Vice president SYSCOM corporation Ltd., Shri A.K.Shrivastava -Chairman AIM, Mr. Amit Roy- Chief of Audit & Assurance, NIIT Ltd.

Personality Development Programme Personal Growth LAB SHAURYA-The E-Cell Our Personal Growth LAB caters to the need of grooming the students in the area of Soft skills and Employability enhancement.

The report prepared by one of India’s largest staffing company, TeamLease Services further elaborates citing “57 per cent of India’s youth suffer some degree of unemployability.” In light of the above, PG Lab , a 120-hours intensive programme delivering experiential learning both through class room teachings and outbound trainings (OBTs), has been set up by the institute to groom the students in these major areas – Communication, Soft Skills and Employability.
