Jamia Millia Islamia Notable Alumni - JMI Notable Alumni
The students of Jamia Millia Islamia, or JMI Notable Alumni, are spread all over the world. Just as Hakim Ajmal Khan prophesied when the foundation started in 1920, ‘The little plant will one day transform into a strong tree whose branches will spread everywhere. In 1925, Jamia Millia Islamia was replaced from Aligarh to Karol Bagh, New Delhi.
JMI was and still has a different experience. It is not just a magnificent seat of upper learning; Jamia Millia Islamia was ranked 1st in the middle of all central universities in the country, according to the Education Ministry of India’s ranking. Giving out everything, living, eating, and concentrating together sets up the obligations of an intently woven family. As they rejoin, at whatever point conceivable, they re-establish the fun of the former days of their childhood and revive their common expectations and standards, and in this way, the popular ‘Jamia Spirit.
