batchmates
Same year graduates
Batchmates are people who belong to the same batch—a group that started a program, training, or institution together.
The term is common in South Asian English, especially for classmates who entered school or graduated in the same year: I'm still in touch with my batchmates from medical school.
It emphasizes shared timing rather than close friendship.
