Students are advised to keep sufficient copies of resume, passport size photos, etc ready so as to submit it as per the requirement of company. No requests for taking the printouts of resumes from the T&P department will be entertained.

Sometimes organizations, at the time of their campus interviews, may inform the T&P that they are interested in screening more candidates.

Students may apply to organizations only against functional positions specified by T&P. T&P shall not entertain applications/resumes of students who want to apply for hypothetical positions or for functional areas not announced

Short listing

Companies may do short listing of students themselves on the basis of information supplied by the students in their registration profile or CVs/ Resumes.
