Centralized Alumni Management System (CAMS) - A Prototype Proposal

This paper proposes a centralized system for alumni management which is institution independent and concentrates on alumni network pan organizations. The fundamental incentive of the system lies in the mentorship process in the institution as well as organization verticals. The system recognizes as an alumni not only graduates but also those individuals who are presently in the institution/organization, thereby facilitating network among the professionals and the students of the institutions from where the professional had graduated. Apart from the alumni, the institutes/organizations also enjoy a comprehensive list of benefits. The minimum age for registration for alumni has been mandated to be 15 years. Hence, the system takes into account those institutions also from where a certain individual has passed the 10th examinations. Hence, the system defines the list of almamater those institution which serve degrees for 10th, 12th, graduation, post-graduation, doctoral and working organizations. Literature comparison has been done with an existing proposal and our system exhibits better features.
