Boston, USA based Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) alumnus, Dr Syed Masarrat Ali engaged with AMU students to provide them with specialist guidance on personal and professional development in a seminar on ‘Career Counselling and Higher Education’ of the Residential Coaching Academy (RCA).

Dr Masarrat shared anecdotes of meritorious AMU graduates and post-graduates—attending foreign universities for higher education.
