Training & Placement Unit – IIT Delhi

Student Policy

Training & Placement Office, IIT Delhi welcomes all eligible students to participate in the
Placement Process for Placement Season 2018-19. IIT Delhi extends all support to try to
ensure that students are given the opportunity to streamline their career interests.

The placement team continuously endeavors to ensure that IIT Delhi continues to be the
most favored destination for recruiting organizations. This is possible only with the
assistance and full co-operation of all students.

In order to maximize the sum of benefits to all the stakeholders, the Placement Policy for
the students has evolved over the years. To realize a win-win situation for IIT Delhi and our
partner organizations, all students are expected to understand the Placement Policy and
follow it strictly. It may be noted that some policy changes may take place during the
year in the best interest of the whole batch.

The student policy is applicable to all students of IIT Delhi and is to be followed during
the entire duration of the placement season.

Eligibility & Registration

• All full time registered final year students of IIT Delhi (except QIP and Industry
Sponsored students) are eligible to participate in the recruitment process for

their photograph in the space provided.
• It is expected that a student shall NOT add any ambiguous / wrong / fraudulent /
misleading information in his / her resume. Resume checks will continue throughout
the placement process. If, on verification at any stage, any discrepancies are found,
the student would be debarred from all T&P processes subsequently. This will also
attract strict disciplinary action.
• If already selected, the same will be communicated to the recruiting organization and
the case will be recommended for strict disciplinary action.
 Application Rules

• All applications to the companies are to be made only through online system of the
Training and Placement Unit, IIT Delhi. If a student does not apply on the T&P portal for
a particular company and appears for the process of a company without prior
permission, he/she will not be allowed to participate in the selection process of that and
subsequent companies.
• A student can apply to a maximum of 50 companies before 1st December. He/She can
apply to infinite number of companies post that subject to the attendance rules.
• If any student falls below 80% attendance in pre-placement talks / presentations /
workshops, he/she will not be allowed to have infinite applications in the month of
December (attendance is compulsory if you have applied/ pre-registered for any
company). Students are responsible for their attendance during any activity.
• All students are advised to check the company profile and background of each
company thoroughly before applying. Kindly make informed decisions BEFORE
applying to any company on campus. T&P would NOT be liable for any default from the
company's end at any stage later. Once you apply to a company all rules as per student
policy will apply.

Rules of Withdrawing an Application

The student may withdraw his/her application from a company on campus subject to the
following rules and regulations:

• The student can withdraw his/her application to a company ONLY if the last date of
application to that particular company is NOT over. There can be no withdrawals done
after this date.
• The student may withdraw from any or all companies without any limits, but only
before the last date of application to company/ies concerned.
• Student may also reapply to a company that he/she had earlier withdrawn from,
provided he/she has not exceeded his/her application quota & application deadline for
the company is not over.
• After the last date of application all rules and regulations (including absenteeism
penalty if applicable) mentioned in the section 'SELECTION PROCESS' will be
valid.

Selection Process

• One student is allowed to secure only one job if the gross package is more than 5.5
lakh per annum. If the gross amount offered is less than or equal to 5.5 lakh per annum,
he/she is eligible to apply for a company whose gross amount is more than 5.5 lakh per
annum. And therefore after one secures a job with gross greater than 5.5 lakh per
annum, one would be automatically deregistered from that day onwards.
• As more than one company would be visiting the campus, there may be a possibility
that one student secures more than one job on the same day. Therefore, each eligible
student will be required to fill up his/her individual preferences in advance for each
placement slot on their login, ranking all the companies he/she has applied to for a
particular slot (1 being highest preference and so on). The preferences are editable till a
day prior to the interview slot by 23:59 hours or as notified.

o These preferences shall be used in case the student gets selected in more than
one company on the same placement day.

• In case a student gets selected in 2 or more companies on the same day, then the
company ranked higher in the preference order of the student will be the one where
the student would be finally considered placed (1 being higher than 2 and so on).

• In case a student does not fill the preference order for a placement day, then the
allotment will be done by the electronic system and it will be binding.

• In any case, once selected, he/she will NOT be allowed to continue to appear for
the placement process of the other companies in subsequent slots.

• It is therefore advised that one MUST register their preference for each slot.

• In case a company does not give its final selection list on the same day it visits the
campus, then the students will be allowed to appear in other companies visiting on
subsequent days till they finally get selected. However, if a student has already been
selected by a company that came on the subsequent day & the company that deferred
its decision also makes an offer to him/her later on, then:
o In case more than one result of selected student(s) comes on the same day,
then the student will be given an option to choose between company of the
previous day and the company of the day.
o In case the result of the company (which deferred its selection process) gives its
result on a day later than the day when the student was selected by another
company, this late offer will be considered not valid and the company would be
informed accordingly.

Acceptance of Offers

• Selected students would get the message on their logins. After this stage the student
would be required to accept the offer by clicking on appropriate link in the T&P student
login within 24 hours of declaration of the result. In case the offer is not accepted within
24 hours, the same would get communicated to the company through its online account
with T&P. Whether one accepts or does not, one would not be allowed to participate in
any further processes. It is advised that the students accept the offer immediately
through the T&P online system.

accepting it on the placement portal. Any cases of pressure from companies may
be reported to T&P authorities.

2018-19 campus placements.

process.

• Any form of intimation from an organization about the possibility of a PPO being

organization further and the student will be allowed to appear for on campus placement
activities as per normal policy until a decision regarding the grant of a PPO is made by
the organization.

release of PPO (whichever is later), he is treated as a normal candidate.

one week of the release of PPO (whichever is later), he/she would be deemed to have
accepted the PPO and he/she would be deregistered from further placement
processes.

• In case a company gives a deadline for deciding on the PPO status; that will be taken
as the date for communicating the decision both to the company and T&P. For all other
cases, the student would need to communicate his/her decision within a week of
release of PPO else he/she would be deemed to have accepted the PPO and he/she
would be deregistered from further placement processes.

• Students accepting or rejecting a PPO will have to immediately notify the Placement
Office of the same with a copy of their communication to the organization.
 Post Selection/ Joining Policy

company to pursue higher studies or for any other reasons, he/she should inform the

for any further consequences, including referral to the institute for disciplinary actions.
