Amrita gave me all possible support in whatever I was expecting to have during those days. Now during my visit after two years, I was able to see the immense support which is offered to the students. I could see lot of changes in Amrita in terms of infrastructural developments, research activities and collaboration with foreign universities. I was extremely happy to be back in Amrita to give a talk on the research work which I was doing during the M.S program over in Europe and also for a talk on “Higher education opportunities in Europe". There were so many questions from the students side regarding higher studies abroad and I was very happy to see the awareness among them which is ultimately created and developed by Amrita. I am sure, we alumni will support in all way possible for the initiatives taken to help students. Opportunities are always available, its up to us to grab it than getting dejected seeing only the barriers in front of us." Vijay's Profile: Vijay did B Tech EEE in Amrita, Coimbatore.
