The Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA) has changed its policy of offering alumni status to various programme participants. As per the new policy, all the graduating students from long duration academic programmes like PGP, PGP-ABM, PGP-PMP, PGPX and FPM, would be eligible to be Alumni of the Institute. They would be issued the alumni identity card, containing their photograph, programme, batch and alumni number.
While participants of other medium duration programmes (3 weeks and more), such as Open enrolment MDP/MEP/FDP/AFP/3-TP, will be given the status “MDP Alumni”, “MEP Alumni”, “FDP Alumni”, “AFP Alumni”, “3-TP Alumni” respectively. They would be issued the alumni identity card, containing their photograph, programme, batch and alumni number, on payment of one time Alumni fee of Rs.10000/- and it would be optional to accept the ALUMNI status and the card.
All the participants of Open enrolment MDPs/MEPs, who have already done single / multiple programmes in the past totalling to 3 weeks or more , will be eligible for respective identity cards, without any further payment of one time fee of Rs.10000/-.
All earlier and future participants of Open enrolment MDP/MEPs programmes, who would be cumulatively completing 3 weeks or more through participation in multiple programmes, would be eligible for MDP/MEP Alumni status and the Identity Cards on payment of one time Alumni fee of Rs.10,000/-.
Other participants of open enrolment MDP programmes in the past, who have done cumulatively less than 3 weeks of programmes, would still continue to be MDP Alumni but the Identity cards would be issued only after they go through programmes totaling 3 weeks and more, cumulatively, on payment of one time Alumni fee of Rs.10,000/-.
Participants of customized MDPs will not be eligible for any ALUMNI status, as is the current practice. The implementation of the proposal of issuing Alumni Identity card will require all the interested alumni to fill up a form and provide some information, as and when these are ready and sent to them.
