Announcing the launch of the registration module
ITBHU.org Editor @ 03:28 AM The ITBHU community has for a long time felt the need of a comprehensive database of alumni. ITBHU.org has been working towards this. With generous contribution from some alumni, we have outsourced the implementation of the registration module.
These facilities are available to the alumni and students of ITBHU and erstwhile colleges of BENCO, MINMET and TECHNO. We have an authorization mechanism in place wherein a user can avail the above stated facilities only if he / she is authorized by the authorizer. Currently we have only two people working as authorizers so when you register it make take some time to authorize you. As and when more people register we can give authorizing authority to others so that they can authorize people of their batch.

To register please click here.

In case of any difficulty please send a mail to admin@itbhu.org and the team will get back to you. Send a mail to us at admin@itbhu.org if you are interested in volunteering for this effort.

Publishing your information

Alumni can provide contact information, details about their education and family and can also post their resume. In addition to posting this information they can choose which section they want to be available for the other alumni to see.

Email id with redirect facility

Every user that registers will be given an email redirect facility with his / her email id as

                    fname.lname@XXXYY.itbhu.org

where ,
  • fname is the first name of the person
  • lname  is the last name
  • XXX  represents the three letter acronym for the branch
  • YY represents the year of graduation

An example email id for a person called Joe Alumni from Computer Science and Engg. who graduated in '88 would get

                            joe.alumni@cse88.itbhu.org      

If the user enables the redirect facility he / she can redirect the mail received by itbhu.org to their mail box. So if Joe Alumni had his mail as joe@yahoo.com the he can set that all mail coming to joe.alumni@cse88.itbhu.org actually go to joe@yahoo.com.

Please note: this is a mail redirect facility and there is no mail box associated with it by default. Hence if the redirection is not set the mails sent to the itbhu.org mailing id will be lost.

Mailing lists

  • There are mailing list for each geographical chapter and department which the alumni can register to.
For example,
bangalore@itbhu.org        is the mailing list for people associated with the Bangalore chapter.
eee@itbhu.org                    is the mailing list for alumni / students from the Electrical Engineering department.
  • There are mailing lists for graduation year and class with the format
YYYY@itbhu.org         where YYYY is the year of graduation like 1975
XXXYY@itbhu.org     where XXX is the acronym for the branch and YY is for the year.
Example
   2000@itbhu.org             is the mailing list for the class of 2000
   cse00@itbhu.org           is the mailing list of CSE - class of 2000
  • There is a generic mailing list announcement@itbhu.org which would be used in future to send out mails about any announcement to be made by ITBHU.org or the Institute.

Alumni Search Facility

A search system is in place which lets the alumni search the database for their friends, batch mates etc.

Registration Statistics

This gives us the overall view of who may people have registered. This would also be a point for alumni to see how far we are from getting all the alumni registered.

   A brief estimate of our goal is ( 50 * 250 ) = 12,500  registrations.

Where 50 is the number of batches we can reach out to and 250 is the the average class size factoring in that we had smaller classes earlier on in the history of IT BHU.

The statistics are available per branch / year / chapter

Mail Composer

The system has an inbuilt mail composer which you can use to compose and send emails. The 'from' email id reflected in the mail will be your itbhu.org email id. All the replies to your mail will be sent to your forwarding email address.

Inviting a friend

The registration module lets you send a mail to a friend who you may want to tell about this registration facility.

Reaching out to alumni

You can send mails to your friends directly from your account.

Kashi Utkarsh - contributing to the society.
ITBHU.org Editor @ 12:04 AM

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
- Robert Frost.

Kashi Utkarsh, a student run social organization of the Institute of Technology, has been working for the alleviation of misery, penury and disease in its adopted villages of Leharata and Susuwahi, Varanasi. Some of the activities of the group include improvement of hygienic conditions through counseling. Recently, Kashi Utkarsh has provided financial aid for the operation of leg deformation of Guddu, a boy from Lehartara and brain tumor of Manish , a boy in De hostel mess. It was the result of the generous contribution on the part of IT community that these children are enjoying life as their normal brothers and sisters.

Around two months back,Kashi Utkarsh took up the cause of Pinky, a 6 year old girl of Lehartara Basti who was diagnosed with suffering from congenital heart disease i.e.a hole in the heart. Kashi Utkarsh ,with the aim of giving new life to the child ,started the collection of the required one lakh rupees for the operation. The IT community came forward with wholesome supports, financial and otherwise, for the child?s aid. An appeal was issued to our alumni through internet stating Pinky's cause. Contributions poured in from as far as California ,U S A and in one month collection of above one lakh is made. Then Kashi Utkarsh sought the services of Dr. Shetty at Narayan Hrudayalaya in Bangalore. The hospital known as world class ,is the same where the kid Noor Fatima from Pakistan was cured of her heart ailment. Mr. Anurag Gupta and Mr. Santiago of I.T accompanied Pinky and her parents to Bangalore and got her admitted in the hospital. By the grace of almighty the operation was successful and the whole Kashi Utkarsh team could heave a sigh of relief and happiness. Kashi Utkarsh also takes this opportunity to thank all those who generously contributed for this cause and thus were instrumental in the success of this project.
