6) The SPO strongly discourages the students to go for off campus placements in the

adversely. Students are also requested to forward contacts they have, if any, in different

companies so that SPO may formally invite these companies for placements.

been extended by them and the company will be informed about our PPO policy in advance.

Guidelines for Master Resume:

Important guidelines related to master resume:

Master resume will NOT be sent to the company, you need to apply with a different resume for

every company

No bar on the length of master resume, but each and every point will need verification

The resume with which one applies for a particular company must be a subset of the master

resume

One cannot add/change any point/sub point that is written in the master resume while making

his/her resume

a. One is allowed to delete points/sub points

b. If you need to state your point in a different way for the technical and non-technical

profile, we suggest you to include it in the master resume itself even if it causes

repetition

Any change in the master resume MUST be done with the permission of SPO; writing the same

point in a different way will be considered as a 'change'

Your resume, before being sent to the company, will be verified by the software and if found

different from the master resume even by 5% then your application will get withdrawn from that

company and will also attract penalty on the part of student

SELECTION PROCESS: RULES AND REGULATIONS

1) One student is allowed to secure only one job. And therefore after one secures a job, one would

be automatically deregistered from that day onwards.

2) 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,

a) Each eligible student will be required to fill up his/her individual preferences in advance,

at least 2 days before, for each placement day, ranking the companies he/she has

applied to/ has been shortlisted on a particular day, in the descending order of his/her

choice. The preferences are editable till a day before by 23:59 hrs.

b) These preferences shall be used in case:

i) The student gets selected in more than one company on the same placement

day.

ii) A company wants to make an on-the-spot offer to the student before the

selection procedure for the day is over.

c) 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.

d) In case a company decides to offer the student an on-the-spot job offer before the entire

placement process for that day is over then he/she will NOT be allowed to appear further

for the placement process of the other companies which were ranked lower in preference

than the company that made on-the-spot offer. The student will, however, be allowed to

appear in such company/ies, which were higher in preference order than the one which

offered the job.

e) In case a student does not fill the preference order for a placement day, then the first

company where the student gets selected shall be deemed as the final choice and he/she

17

will NOT be allowed to continue to appear for the placement process of the other

companies.

It is therefore advised that one MUST register their preference ASAP. It does not help being lazy.

3) 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

subsequent day & the company that deferred its decision also makes an offer to him/her later on,

then:

a) In case the result of selected student(s) comes on the same day, then the student will be

given an option to choose between the previous company and the company of the day.

b) 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 rejected and the company would be informed.

4) Acceptance of Offers:

Selected students would get the message on their desktops. After this stage the student would be

required to accept the offer by clicking on appropriate link in the ACSS student login within 24 hours of

communicated to the company through its online account with TnP. Whether one accepts or does not,

one would not be allowed to participate further.

be routed through the placement cell. If one likes the offer, one is advised to accept the

offer. Such students who accept the PPO would, however, be deregistered from the on-

campus placement process.
