One of the key questions for students returning to India after successful completion of their degree is – How to network with Australian alumni?
Recently, with the help of Australian High Commission in India, a unique initiative the Australian Alumni Association of India has been started.
This association invites all alumni of Australian universities and institutions who have returned to India.
