Information for organisations participating in placements
The University has a Placement cell where students play the lead role. The cell is guided by faculty and members
of the Foundation across the country and has a dedicated support team for efficient administration. The
Placement cell works with potential employers from different sectors to understand their recruitment needs,
analyze them and create opportunities for students, through both on-campus and off-campus placements.
Placement support is provided to all students for career opportunities in government, industry, NGOs multi -
lateral agencies and other organisations that work in education and development.
For purposes of better planning and facilitation of interested recruiters on campus, the placement process is
divided into two parts:
1. RegistrationOrganisations who are interested in meeting our students with the view of recruiting them should register
themselves by filling up the details required on the Placement form and send it to our Placement cell by
December 15th, 2013.
Subsequently, we will identify mutually convenient dates for pre - placement talks (PPT) and other
recruitment processes on priority.
2. Pre-placement talk and subsequent recruitment process A. Participating organisations will be given specific dates for pre placement talks and recruitment process on
mutually convenient dates. The recruitment process would be organised on the Azim Premji University
campus at Pixel Park, B Block, PES Institute of Technology Campus, Electronic City, Hosur Road (Beside NICE
Road), Bangalore - 560 100.
B. Participating organisations are encouraged to provide clear details of the role, location and salary to the
University and students, in the registration form and during the pre-placement talks and interviews. This
would help the students in making informed choices and hence reduce drop outs after an offer is made.
Guidelines for participating organisationsA. The recruitment process will commence from January 20th, 2014 and continue up to April, 2014.
B. Participating organisations, institutions and agencies while registering are requested to inform the
Placement cell about the following:
i. Roles available within the organisation with corresponding job descriptions, salary and location.
ii. Nature of the selection processes, tests, stages and the tentative time duration that would be required to
conduct the whole process.
iii. Information on the recruitment team that would be visiting Azim Premji University campus (number and
composition).
iv. Any special requirements that need facilitation for the smooth running of this process.
C. The list of selected students must be confirmed within one working day of completion of the campus
interviews. To facilitate this, it is preferable that key decision makers are part of the campus recruitment
process. This will facilitate faster decision making.
