“From questions to clarity,
From curiosity to a career.
Some lessons don't require a hard path,
To keep your vision clear.”

SAIC is pleased to announce the opening of registrations for Ask The Alumni, under the initiative Student Alumni Mentorship Program 2026, to help you explore career choices and gain guidance through structured interactive sessions.

ATA bridges the gap between alumni and first-year students. Moving from first year to second feels like turning curiosity into confidence; you have the same dreams, just stronger steps. Your questions, your curiosity, and those “wish I knew then” moments, answered by the people who were once confused just like you. Leave with the confidence to lead your career, not just prepare for it.

In the previous edition of Ask the Alumni, more than 400 mentees participated with over 80 mentors, reflecting the initiative's strong impact across all domains.

For every first-year still figuring it out, this is your chance. Every answer starts with a question; go ask yours.
