Alumni Office Bringing us all together to where we once belonged
Osmania University College of Engineering has over 25,000 Alumni , and most of them are actively taking part in the association initiatives and campus activities every year . With the Alumni Association ’ s activities shifting their speeds to higher gears , a facility devoted exclusively to alumni affairs has become a pre-requisite .
The space towards the left of the Central Quadrangle in the main building adjoining the Assembly Hall has been reassigned to the Alumni Association and has been renovated . Construction of the new alumni office took off in the month of February , 2016 and is nearly completed and ready for its launch and occupancy from 25th December 2016 onwards .
• A dedicated alumni reception area
• A front office and a sitting area
• A 25-seat meeting room for alumni

The office will help in meeting the needs of the alumni association as it moves towards new goals .
