Welcome to
Hooghly Institute of Technology Alumni Association
Established in the year 2000, the HIT Alumni Association was founded with a vision to build a lasting bridge between HIT Polytechnic College and its former students. What began as a modest initiative has since evolved into a vibrant and influential network comprising professionals, entrepreneurs, educators, and leaders across diverse industries and regions.
The HIT Alumni Association is a registered organization, operating with transparency and accountability through regular audits. We take pride in being the only alumni association among polytechnic colleges in West Bengal that organizes an annual Alumni Meet without fail. This tradition fosters a sense of belonging, strengthens connections, and provides a platform for meaningful engagement between past and present students.
Since its inception, the association has remained committed to its mission: fostering a strong, inclusive, and enduring bond among alumni, while actively supporting the growth, reputation, and advancement of HIT Polytechnic College.
