D+ 1.0 PoorD 0.5

F 0 Fail

J Nil Not approved/ debarred/ Resultawaited/withheld

4.8 Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA)

On the basis of the relative grading assigned by the faculty for each paper, the grade point average is arrivedas follows:

Multiply the credits by the points assigned to the grade concerned.

Add the points arrived at for all the papers of the term

Divide the points by the total number of credits

Example: ABC Term 1

Subject Credits Grade Points

Marketing Management 3 A 3.5Quantitative Techniques for Business 3 C+ 2.0Financial Accounting and Analysis 3 C 1.5Organization Behavior 3 B+ 3.0Business Communication 3 B+ 3.0Managerial Economics 3 C+ 2.0I T Application in Business 3 C 1.5

Calculation:

3x3.5=10.5, 3x2=6, 3x1.5=4.5, 3x3=9, 3x3=9, 3x2=6, 3x1.5=4.5 = Total 49.5

Total credits 21 Grade Point Average- 49.5 divided by 21 = 2.35

4.9 Calculation of Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

The total grade points of different terms divided by the total number of credits indicates the CumulativeGrade Point Average

Example Total grade points Total Number of CreditsTerm1 49.5 21Term2 51 24

CGPA after Term 2: 49.5+51= 100.5 divided by 45 = 2.23

interested in screening more candidates. Then the T&P will ask other interested students to apply

immediately and the students may have to submit their resumes at short notice. The decision of the

Placement Office will be final in this regard.

The impact of the behavior exhibited by theinterviewees has at times reduced the opportunities available to future batches of students.Irresponsible behavior, such as efforts to "market" oneself, derogatory remarks about othercandidates or the institute, negotiations other than those purported under the due process, will

be seriously viewed. Such students may be denied further 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. The

T&P shall pass on the information received from the organization to the concerned

students. The students are expected to make their own travel and other arrangements.

Placement Talk (PPT) of that company. If a student does not attend two consecutive PPTs, he/she will

not be allowed to apply till further clearance from the Director.

Any student who has applied for a particular company can withdraw from the company after the Pre-

Placement Talk.

offer from another organization under the confines of the due process. It is presumed that students

would apply for a position after careful consideration of all the relevant aspects.

If a student does not appear for interview after giving the nomination and confirmation after PPT,

he/she is 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 at any stage, i.e.if-

9.1 He/she explains in writing to the Head - T&P the full reasons for and the unusualcircumstances that need his/her withdrawal, and that the Head - T&P accepts these as trulyexceptional and legitimate grounds for withdrawal.

9.2. The Head - T&P is concerned that the interviewing organization would not feel offended. It might benecessary for the student to meet personally the organization's executive and explain the reasons whyhe/she does not wish to be considered further by the organization. The same will be routed throughthe T&P.

Subject to permission as above, a student can withdraw a maximum two times from the selection

processes provided by the institute. The moment he/she refuses to sit for the interview forthe third time, he will be out of the Placement Process.

Students shall not request any organization to keep an offer pending. Any such request shall be

considered as a serious breach of the placement norms. They shall also not request their future

employers to allow extension of deadline for communication of their decision regarding offers made by an

organization. Such a job offer shall be treated as a final offer and the student shall not be

eligible for placement assistance, thereafter.

All offers of a particular company shall be announced at the end of the selection process ofthat company. All offers shall be routed through the T&P only.

Conclusion

T&P shall aim to provide placement assistance for all graduating students. Placement is a

privilege extended to the students not a right.

These guidelines are framed to ensure equality and fairness of opportunity to all the

students. All students who opt for placement through the T&P shall abide by the guidelines

prescribed herein above.

Any breach of rules specified above by any student, shall be taken up seriously by the T&P 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 system like the T&P, Dispatch and Fax office.

If, in the judgment of the T&P, a student has behaved in a manner unbecoming of a graduate of the

institute, the T&P 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.

The Institute / T&P 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 Director/Dean and his/her decision will be final.
