1. What is SIMS alumni association?
Samundra Institute of Maritime Studies (SIMS) Alumni association is a platform which serves to connect the community of SIMS alumni to their alma mater and other fellow alumni. This website serves a virtual domain to keep the alumni abreast on the latest happenings and developments on campus. We also invite for industry updates and discussions in our Forum section for higher engagement and professional enhancement

The main purpose of the Association of SIMS Alumni (ASA) is to develop and foster relationships with our alumni through various means which may include organizing events to enhance interaction between alumni, faculty and the existing cadets of the institute. The alumni association also strives to cultivate a sense of belonging to the institute by engaging existing cadets in its mission for them to maintain a lifetime tie association with SIMS.

This would encourage future alumni to participate in the development of the institute’s vision of becoming a center of academic excellence in maritime education. .
