Alliance Club's Role
Co-founder and mentor Kumar Munna said, “Alliance Club is a training and mentorship programme which is a subset of Career Planner and is a CSR activity where a section of students are selected on the basis of repeated tests and then enrolled in the Alliance Club, which runs free of cost so that it can be accessible and affordable for all sectors of society.” He added, “More than 20,000 students mentored in Alliance Club are already working in ministries and banking sectors across India.”
Achievers' Testimonials
Among those honored, Aman Kumar, who was shortlisted for six jobs, chose the post of assistant manager at Bihar Gramin Bank. “The schedule of classes is similar to the timings of real-life jobs, which mentally prepares us even better,” he said, adding he secured the placement after two and a half years and advising others to “keep patience and be consistent.”
Ruchi Ojha said, “Alliance Club has provided a good environment which nurtures us.” Mithun Kumar added, “Exam marks are inconsistent, which makes us feel very demotivated. The mentors help us keep patience and, through one-on-one interaction, they help us work on each of our weak points.”
