Who we are?

Career Guidance Forum is a Joint initiative by Students, Alumni and CEG Management to establish a Student led - Alumni Mentored forum to enhance Career Prospects for CEG students. This initiative will be led by a team of Leaders from among students. The objective is to prepare students by imparting knowledge about the various career, higher studies and entrepreneurial opportunities, and train them on relevant skills to successfully get selected in the recruitment process, both during campus placement and outside. The forum will network with Alumni from around the World and bring experts as well collaborate more actively with organizations led Alumni to provide interns to them and internships to students.

History of CGF

History of CGP

The history of the association between Alumni and CEG students spans over 100 years. It's challenging to document all developments in the institution, where collaboration has been extensive. From insights shared by senior alumni, we've distilled the essence of Career Guidance Programs in CEG, which began informally and became formalized over time.

The CGP Initiative

Career Guidance Programs at CEG trace their origins to 1988, initiated by Er. Ram Thukkaram following the 1963 batch's silver jubilee reunion. With an initial corpus of Rs.1 lakh, the program aimed to connect alumni and students to enhance career development. Many alumni, individually or through their companies, have since contributed significantly.

The Evolution

The program evolved to include digital tools and social media, allowing global alumni engagement. Alumni have played crucial roles, transitioning from informal discussions to structured workshops on resume writing, mock interviews, and more. The shift to online platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic has improved accessibility, highlighting CEG's adaptability and commitment to student success.
