Abstract/Introduction:

The ' VU Alumni-Student ConnectBook' web application is designed to strengthen the relationship between alumni, current students, and the university administration. This platform serves as a bridge, allowing alumni to stay engaged with their alma mater or University, contribute to current students' academic and career development, and participate in university events. Additionally, the application will enable university administration to efficiently manage alumni data and leverage it for various purposes such as mentoring programs, events, success stories and job placements.
