Institution. This is a web based application that allows
former students to take advantage of the benefits and
services that institution offers after graduation. The
alumni network is becoming important in the
development of the institution because of their vast
potential that benefits both the Institution and the
students. There are many benefits for being an alumni
member of a college or Institution, some of these benefits
are: keeping a person inform on the events that are
organized by the Institution, and when some important
events will be holding in the Institution. Another benefit is

received and other members of the alumni community can
be located without much stress. The student and alumni
can communicate each other.

1.2Exisiting System
Many colleges maintain present and old students
manually. Recollecting this data in the manual system is
very difficult. If student needs any data about old
students they have to approach college management.
Overall collecting the information is very tedious task in
this system. The existing system is built with numberless
excel sheets that are created by each user. These sheets
may be collated by an alumni organization and shared
with all the alumni but this activity may not be frequent.
The system is difficult to maintain on a regular process
and it also have a privacy issues.
Disadvantages of Existing System
 It cannot be used frequently.
 Data can be losses.
 This is a large process to maintain all user details.
3. CONCLUSION
Alumni Portal for any college website is very important. It
has been setup to increase interaction, Knowledge sharing
and networking among the alumni students and also
focuses on bringing together alumni students of college
and the primary goal of this report is to connect the
alumni Students with the college and existing college
students with the help of alumni web portal where They
can have communication with existing students and
college.
