Our Vision
"To build a vibrant, transparent, and globally connected alumni community that actively contributes to HBTU's growth, empowers students through mentorship and opportunities, promotes innovation and entrepreneurship, and fosters lifelong engagement among alumni across the world."
Introduction
The HBTU Alumni Association (officially started in 2005 and Registered under societies act) is a community bound by a shared history, experiences and a lasting connection with our alma mater. From its beginnings in 1921 as HBTI to its journey as Harcourt Butler Technical University, the institution has nurtured generations of students who have gone on to make their mark in industry, academia, research, entrepreneurship and public service. The Association provides a platform to keep these connections alive, bring alumni together, celebrate their achievements, and create opportunities for alumni to contribute their experience, knowledge and networks to HBTU and the generations that follow.
