Introduction

Established in 2004 by the Nagpur Pallottine Society, St. Vincent Pallotti College of Engineering & Technology (SVPCET), Nagpur, carries forward the 150-year legacy of the Pallottines, founded by St. Vincent Pallotti. Rooted in a tradition of service, education, and holistic development, the college has built a reputation for academic excellence while fostering strong student–alumni connections. A key part of this mission is its focus on alumni mentorship, designed to bridge classroom learning with real-world guidance.

The Challenge

Before adopting a structured alumni engagement system, SVPCET faced significant hurdles:

• Unorganized Alumni Data – Scattered records made it difficult to identify and reach alumni for mentorship.

• Informal Mentorship – Alumni–student interactions lacked consistency and measurable impact.

• Time-Consuming Event Management – Organizing and promoting events required manual coordination.

• Sustained Engagement – Ensuring regular alumni involvement was a constant challenge.

The Solution: Why AlmaShines – The Best Choice

To overcome these challenges, SVPCET partnered with AlmaShines Alumni Management Platform to build a streamlined and structured ecosystem for alumni engagement.

Through this collaboration, the college was able to:

• Launch a Dedicated Mentorship program – Matching students with alumni mentors based on career goals, skills, and interests.

• Simplify Event Management – Quick, user-friendly tools to design, publish, and promote alumni–student engagement events.

• Centralize Alumni Data – Consolidating scattered records into a single, updated system for effective outreach.

The structured mentorship initiative delivered remarkable outcomes:

• Over 100 Alumni Mentors actively guiding students across multiple fields.

• Nearly 400 Student Mentees receiving one-on-one mentorship and career guidance.
