Once you are placed in an IT Services profile, the decision of allowing a particular student for a niche opportunity depends on various parameters like job profile, CTC and number of students yet to be placed at that time, however the final decision depends at the discretion of the management. You will have two choices to skip a particular company based on the choice of profile, CTC. Post missing two recruitment drives, the placement support will be permanently withdrawn. In case a candidate fails to clear the initial selection process of three companies consecutively, he/she will have to appear for the qualifier aptitude test for further continuation of internship/placement support.

In case you receive the letters directly, you are required to submit a copy of the same to the Placement department. Falling to do so, the college management may initiate the process of withdrawal of the offers. For further follow-up regarding joining dates or any other query, students should directly follow-up with the company HR's after the academic year is over.

Recent trends show that they have reduced going on campus and shifted their focus from campus recruitments to using technology platforms via the National Level Qualifier Assessments. You will be competing with students of not only your own college but the students of nationwide colleges. For this process, they might or might not visit the campus for conducting the pre-assessments and personal interview rounds. They empanel a few colleges as their nodal centres to conduct the online test and interviews. Itis imperative for the students to attend the interviews in the allocated centres. The placement cell will share your details with the companies; based on which you will receive registration links. All the students have to ensure that they register and share the registration acknowledgement with the placement cell for further tracking.

Students to note that all these opportunities are initiated from campus and the placement team will support your candidature throughout the process and post selection. You are accountable to forward all the communication emails received directly from the company. Failing to forward the emails, will lead to discontinued placement assistance. These companies can offer you a basic IT services role or differential hiring or product role with a higher CIC. Differential hiring role will be considered as a “Niche” offer and no further placement opportunities will be extended to you. If you are placed in a basic IT services role, you will not be allowed to participate for other IT services roles. Many companies have started recruiting students who perform well in Hackathons/Coding competitions/Programming contests/Case studies competitions organized by the company. Some organizations may require the students to travel to their office for the recruitment process that will be communicated to students as and when the information comes to the placement cell. The students are expected to make their own travel and other arrangements unless otherwise informed by the organization concerned, Companies that visit the campus to hire do not offer a job/ training location preference; even if it is mentioned in the pre placement talk or personal interviews, it totally depends on the business needs at the time of joining of new recruits 18, Letter Of Recommendation (LOR): If a student is planning for a Master’s degree, he/she has to inform the placement department / HOD’s well in advance ie. at the beginning of the sixth semester Letterheads for the purpose of LOR will be issued by the Placement Department/ HOD's LOR will be issued based on the role for which the student has been selected during the campus placements Ifa student has applied for LOR and still wants to opt in for Placements, he/she will only be allowed to participate in “IT Services Profile.” Students who are placed in “Niche” profiles, will not be provided LOR’s from the college.i.
