The alumni portals' objectives are to ensure that users can update information about themselves, and more importantly stay connected- either for fun or for job purpose. Thus, there can be a chat messenger integrated with normal email accounts to facilitate realtime chating and information sharing between users. If that is not possible, there can be a plug-in of facebook/blog, etc.

The portal can have widgets like news connect, stock tickers, etc. that will keep the user frequent visitor on the site. It can have a data sharing page where users can upload docs and files and presentation for help of other users which can be further segregated as per sectors.

Alumni can be given a place to upload testimonials for each other and to share their experience amongst their groups formed on the site.

Alumni portal can act as resource centre to provide aid to budding entrepreneurs and to students for some corporate events when required.
