IMK derives its strength from the achievements of its versatile alumni who have excelled in their respective fields and earned accolades from various quarters. To honor these accomplishments, the Distinguished Alumni Award (DAA) was introduced in 2021, followed by the Young Alumni Achievers Award (YAA) in 2025. These awards recognize alumni who have made significant contributions and achievements in their chosen fields, thereby bringing distinction to themselves and to their alma mater.
