1.0 Role of TPC

2.0 Eligibility

Non- payment of fees or any other dues and/or non- completion of summer internship programme/project training/other academic requirements
Having multiple back-logs i.e. courses not passed during regular examinations of the university and hence not eligible to appear for placement process

3.0 Registration for Placement Assistance

4.0 Application Procedure

Interested students will apply to the TPC and submit copies of bio-data.
If a Company has approached the TPC or is in the process of approaching the TPC for placements, no student shall approach any of these Companies on their own, except through the TPC. However, students are free to correspond directly with organizations in response to their media or website communications. If these organizations announce jobs to the University’s TPC at a later date, then the students should inform the TPC about having applied for such positions earlier in these organizations
The students should submit their bio-data within the prescribed time limit after which the TPC will not accept/ forward CVs/ Resumes.
Students are advised to keep sufficient copies of the CV/ Resume, passport size photos, etc. ready so as to submit it as per deadlines announced.
Sometimes organizations, at the time of their campus interviews, may inform the TPC that they are interested in screening more candidates. Then the TPC will ask other interested students to apply immediately and the students may have to submit their resumes at short notice. Making several copies of the resume is, therefore, desirable

5.0 Short listing

Students will be asked to stick to a preferred area of knowledge/ specialization/skill in which he/she would like to pursue his/her career. No changes would be normally allowed in their target jobs once mentioned.
Students will be divided into groups according to their target jobs and industry segments
Students can apply to organizations only against functional positions specified to them. The TPC will not accept applications of those who want to apply for hypothetical positions or for functional positions not announced.
Companies may do short listing of students themselves on the basis of information supplied by the students in their registration profile or CVs/ Resumes.
In case a company insists on short listing to be done by the University without explicitly citing any criteria, it will be done on the basis of the Criteria determined by TPC. Hence all those who apply may not get short listed.
On receipt of a job offer from the company by the university, the short listing of students by the TPC team would be done considering the following factors.

6.0 Interview Procedure

Students shall not, at the time of interview, negotiate with the employer about salary and terms different from what is announced, unless the announcement specifies that the salary is negotiable.
While attending interviews, students must be punctual and come in proper dress. They must observe and adhere to all code of conduct rules specified by TPC. While answering questions in the interview, students should observe decorum. They should abstain from making any kind of derogatory remarks about others. The impact of the behavior exhibited by the interviewees may reduce the opportunities available to future batches of students. Irresponsible behavior, such as derogatory remarks about other candidates or the University, negotiations other than those purported under the due process, will be seriously viewed. Such students may be denied further Placement Assistance.
Students are expected to behave professionally with all members of SPSU. Any misconduct, misbehavior, non-maintenance of decorum would be dealt with seriously and could lead to disqualification from placement assistance.
Keeping the Corporate’s convenience in view, selection processes may take place in any city/town in the states or nearby metros. The students may be required to travel and attend the same.

Students having once applied to an organization shall not withdraw from the selection procedure at any stage, unless they have a final offer from another organization under the confines of the due process.
If a student does not appear for interview after submitting the bio-data, he/she shall be 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, i.e. if,

He/she explains in writing to the TPC full reasons for and the unusual circumstances that need his/her withdrawal, and that the TPC accepts these as truly exceptional and legitimate grounds for withdrawal. The TPC is of the view that the interviewing organization would not feel offended in this way.
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 TPC.

Once a student has applied for a particular company after the Placement Cell notification and/or attended the Briefing/Presentation, it would be assumed that he/she is interested in the company and hence the excuse of not liking the profile of the company or job shall not be entertained.

Any breach of rules specified above by any student, shall be taken up seriously by the TPC who in turn will view the matter and take action against the student, as it may deem fit.

Students shall not try to gain unauthorized access to communications regarding placements from the Institute’s administrative systems like the Dispatch and Fax office and any other source of information.
If, in the judgment of the T&P, a student has behaved in a manner unbecoming of a graduate of the institute, the TPC 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 with the approval of Head of Institution.
The TPC reserves the right of modifying any or all of the above norms and/or stipulating additional norms for placement which, in its judgment and discretion, are likely to benefit the students, immediately or in the future.
Final authority in case of any dispute would be the Head of Institution and his/their decision will be final.

It will be in the interest of all concerned that the final Placement Process adheres to and supports the contents of this note, as successful completion of this program will benefit both SPSU and the students.
