84 PLACEMENT BROCHURE 2018 TISS Guwahati TISS Guwahati PLACEMENT BROCHURE 2018 85 Rules for Recruiting Organisations

In accordance with the efficient functioning of the Placement Process and maintenance of a healthy relationship between the Institute and the Recruiting Organisation (RO), certain foundational guidelines have been evolved for a smooth channel of communication throughout the placement process. The ROs are required to follow the guidelines for maintaining uniformity:

1. Organisations interested in recruiting students will have to communicate their requirement in the prescribed Placement Form, as per the schedule communicated.

2. The procedure for allocation of slots for prospective ROs will be done based on the following points:

a. Job profile offered

b. Remuneration and incentives

c. Geographical location and mobility, and

d. Number of positions offered

3. Organisation should communicate the final decision of the selection to the candidate(s) as well as the Placement Coordinator (Faculty) within TWO days of the Placement Process.

4. We would also appreciate if the organisation can issue a provisional offer letter along with their selection decision.

5. To avoid uncertainties, all ROs are requested to prepare a waiting list in addition to the list of students selected for placement.

6. The ROs should not select or eliminate any interested candidate only based on the information mentioned in the placement brochure. It should be done strictly based on the submission of CVs post the PPT and the subsequent recruitment procedure.

7. The ROs can hold Off-Campus interviews, for which the Placement Core Committee (PCC) should be notified in advance.

8. Off-campus placement through Web/Telephonic/Skype will also be facilitated by the PCC for those ROs who may not be in a position to visit the campus. Personal Interviews at the office of RO can be facilitated at a mutually convenient date.

9. Any discrimination by the RO based on caste, class, sex, gender, disability or religion leading to disharmony among the candidate(s) will not be entertained and may result in an intervention by the PCC.

10. Any information regarding the placements should be communicated to Placement Core Committee (PCC) at [email protected].
