       • Prepare completely for attending the various Written Tests, Group Discussions and Interviews, particularly in respect of the specific Company for which they are appearing.

       • While attending interviews, students must be punctual and appear only in formal dress.

Withdrawal Procedure

Student who has applied for a particular company can withdraw from the company after the Pre Placement Talk. In case of the students going directly to the company premises for the selection process, if the profile/package communicated to them by the T&P Cell is not the same, the students can withdraw from the selection process. Once the selection procedure has started, students cannot withdraw at any stage, unless they have a final offer from another organization. It is presumed that students would apply for a position after careful consideration of all the relevant aspects. If a student does not appear for interview after giving the nomination and confirmation after PPT, he/she is deemed to have withdrawn. Only in very exceptional circumstances, shall a student be permitted to withdraw from the selection procedure of attending preliminary interview if short listed by the organization at any stage, i.e. if-

• He/she explains in writing to the Head - T&P Cell, valid reasons for and the unusual circumstances that need his/her withdrawal, and that the Head - T&P Cell accepts these as truly exceptional and legitimate grounds for withdrawal.
• The Head - T&P Cell is of the view that the interviewing organization would not feel offended.
• It might be necessary for the student to meet personally the organization's executive and explain the reasons why he/she does not wish to be considered further by the organization. The same will be routed through the T&P Cell.

Subject to permission as above, a student can withdraw a maximum two times from the selection processes provided by the Institution. The moment he/she refuses to sit for the interview for the third time, he will be out of the Placement Process. The students should not negotiate the package/salary with the company unless specified in the Job Post. All the negotiations regarding the package and profile are done by the T&P Cell

Job Offers

Students are permitted to receive a maximum of one job offer only in each category. A student shall be allowed to go through the selection processes, based on specified criteria, till he/she secures a job offer. Students shall not request any organization to keep an offer pending. Any such request shall be considered as a serious breach of the placement norms. They shall also not request their future employers to allow extension of deadline for communication of their decision regarding offers made by an organization. Such a job offer shall be treated as a final offer and the student shall not be eligible for placement assistance, thereafter. All offers of a particular company shall be announced at the end of the selection process of that company. All offers shall be routed through the T&P only.

Final Thoughts

1. T&P Cell shall aim to facilitate placement drive for all the students. Placement is a privilege extended to the students not a right.
2. The guidelines are framed to ensure equality and fairness of opportunities to all the students. All students who opt for placement through the T&P shall abide by the guidelines prescribed herein above.
3. Any breach of the rules specified above by any student, shall be taken up seriously by the T&P Cell, that in turn will view the matter and take action against the student, as deem fit.
4. If, in the judgment of the T&P Cell Team, a student has behaved in a manner unbecoming of a graduate of the institute, the T&P Cell team would be free to impose a suitable penalty to the extent of withdrawing further placement assistance to the concerned student and taking other action as necessary.
5. Final authority in case of any dispute would be the Principal and his/her decision will be final.
