Ashoka Alumni Relations Office

Ashoka University Campus

Ashoka Alumni Relations Office

The Alumni Relations Office represents the University and sustains a mutually supportive relationship with  alumni, and their friends and supporters spread across the world. The ARO also facilitates deeper engagement of alumni in domains such as admissions and outreach, internships, mentorships, placements, ELMs and scholarships, thereby strengthening lifelong connections, and a culture of giving back. 

You can reach the ARO through Facebook, Instagram or via E-mail.

Alumni Giving

A great University is built brick by brick and requires the support of all its communities, especially you, the Alumni. As you give back to Ashoka, you contribute immensely to its stature, through higher scholarships, more research, and new facilities. Not only will you help support the next generation of students and alumni, you will also add to the value of your own diploma or degree.
