9 Placement Guidelines:
NMIMS is a premier University of the country, the B-School is in existence for over three decades and over the years it
has earned recognition from industry & professional associations, corporates, peer group institutions and accreditation
agencies. All these laurels and recognitions would have been incomplete without the support of the corporate world. Our
alumni occupy senior positions in leading companies across sectors.

NMIMS is also a great place to recruit potential young managers and business leaders. Leading companies across sectors
consider our students for recruitments/ internships. As we have cordial relations with the corporate world, many
companies have supported us even during tough times. We would like to continue this mutually symbiotic relationship.
Hence, it is expected that students understand this sentiment and behave responsibly at all times. Any untoward incident
will jeopardize this association and have serious repercussions for placements and for the future.

Being a Deemed to be University of higher learning, the corporate world expects students to display high standards of
knowledge, capability and excellence. Recruiters also look for serious candidates who are clear about their long-term
plans, the sector they want to be and profile they want to undertake.

Placement assistance is offered to students of various programs across Schools & Campuses. It is the prerogative of the
Schools & Campuses to decide, which of the programs this service should be offered.

The Placement Office facilitates the process of placements – internship & recruitment by creating an interface between
recruiters and students. Efforts are made to market the programs with their merits with an endeavour to get companies
to offer internships/recruit students. The selection process specified by the company is followed. The PlaceCom -
Placement Committee of students are actively involved in the placement activities – contacting/visiting companies
located in metros & major cities for placement presentations and also coordinate various activities during the placement
processes.

The Placement Office devises placement guidelines that are in the larger interest of the School and students, in
consultation with students and faculty.

Students are expected to maintain decorum and abide by the guidelines during placement processes. In the event of non-
conformance to the placement guidelines, the School reserves the right to initiate corrective action.

The New Approach to Placements

The COVID 19 pandemic, has had far reaching consequences leading to an altogether new world of working for all of
us. The need to maintain social distancing for the well-being of all concerned, necessitated to have Virtual/WFH
internships. Our placement partners, swiftly switched the mode to remote, offered challenging projects, remote processes
that entailed e-on-boarding of interns, virtual meetings, mentoring, reporting, networking, assessments, feedback and so
on. The agility with which the entire task is being successfully carried out by the HR officials of companies is
commendable.

This is a precursor to functioning of placements in the near future. However, the situation being unprecedented, dynamic
& the uncertainties looming around, none can fathom-out the scenario that could pan out. So, in the right earnest, we all
should embrace the agile way of working, have resilience, be innovative, network, co-partner, find mutually beneficial
solutions to navigate through these uncertainties. This could also mean to compromise on the physical presence of
stakeholders that could be offset to a certain extent by availing of tech solutions at work. All this is a completely different
experience for all of us. However, as we manoeuvre our way through this unchartered territory, the safety and well-
being of all stake holders should be paramount under any circumstances.

So, as of now, it seems that the approach to placements would remain the same, but much would depend on the economic
condition, the new measures at work adopted by companies, campus placements demand, the job scenario etc. Crucial
for us would be to network and support our industry partners to facilitate in identifying talent, devise systems and
procedures that would encompass stakeholders, network & learn from the industry of the knowledge and skill sets
desired in the new setup, come closer to the beneficiaries & stakeholders, offer solutions and insights that would be of
benefit, tweak our systems, procedures and offerings accordingly. The thoughts could be numerous. But the key, is to
17
 be agile and adopt innovative measures to tide over the situation and work together like never before for mutually
beneficial synergies.

The Placement process typically involves –

 Batch Preparation
 Pre Placement Talks
 Internships/projects
 Final Placements

9.1 Batch Preparation:

The Comprehensive Batch Preparation Program is to enhance the suitability of candidates and orient them to industry
practices and expectations.
a. Interactive sessions with alumni/industry experts in various profiles that help students to gain clarity on
role/fit, understanding expectations of the company, future prospects - career evolution, right approach for
cracking interviews, listen to first-hand experience & get a feel of life in a particular profile etc.
b. Interaction with seniors who have undergone internships in companies.
c. Assigning seniors or alumni as mentors to guide students.
d. Mock interviews with alumni/corporates to get a direct feedback from people in relevant industries.
e. Guest talks and workshops on various topics from corporates.
f. Resume building as per guidelines
g. Soft skills training etc.
9.1.1 Prior to the commencement of the selection process it is expected that students should be having a fair idea about
their interest, sector, and specialization or at least have some long term vision of where they want to be and should
direct their efforts accordingly. A bit of clarity will help students land a good internship/job.
9.1.2 Hence students should do a thorough research about the company, the business, the sector, other players in the
sector, the financials, etc. and be prepared with a background and fact file prior to the process. Also some
additional information – the number of interns/recruits in the past, whether the company has a PPO policy, the
roles offered, the experience of seniors who interned with the company etc. will be of help.
9.1.3 The Placement Office also involves companies in a number of Campus Engagement activities – contests, projects,
workshops, seminars, guest talks etc. that would benefit a larger number of students and also help in promoting
the excellent quality of the batch.
9.1.4 Based on the guidelines, students will have to prepare their resume that would encapsulate info about academics,
work experience, internship, co-curricular activities, extracurricular activities, projects, awards, achievements,
hobbies etc.

9.2 Pre Placement Talk – PPT

PPT’s are a medium wherein the company officials disseminate information regarding the company, the profile, the
compensation etc. and clarify the queries of students. The company officials invest time and effort to disseminate info
and the interactive session will make them feel visiting our campus was worth it. Hence students are requested to
participate and ask relevant questions.

9.3 Internships/Projects
9.3.1 The Placement Office makes all efforts to reach out for internships across varied sectors, companies and profiles.
Based on ones’ interests and capabilities one should seek internships. Choosing the correct company for
internships and performing up to the mark is of utmost importance.
9.3.2 The Internships are not only a window to the corporate world but also a relationship building tool for NMIMS. It
allows the companies to have a look at the talent at NMIMS, thereby strengthening Final Placements.
9.3.3 Internships are an integral part of the curriculum for securing the degree. It is a great learning platform for our
students and goes a long way in shaping the learning obtained in the class room. This experience is of immense
use to students to enable them to acclimatize themselves to the intricacies of the corporate world.
9.3.4 The project is expected to build on the theoretical learning with practical experience and help students to identify
the gaps in their learning which they can attempt to fill in. They could also discover areas of interest and future
career options.
9.3.5 Interactions during the internships both with other interns as well as employees help students to understand the
expectations/needs of the organisation, the sector in general, to identify the gaps in their learning and in orienting
oneself towards the sector and developing the required skill sets to emerge as the most suitable candidate.

18
 9.3.6 Internships also hold a special significance as it is an apt mechanism for companies to spot bright talent early.
Many companies have structured internship process which is used as a ‘testing ground’ to gain a direct
understanding of the skill and ability of students leading to declaration of PPO’s/PPI’s. NMIMS too encourages
candidates to work towards such offers that are based on internship performance.
9.3.7 Pre Placement Offer (PPO) is an Offer by the company to the intern acknowledging the excellent work done
during the internship. Pre Placement Interview (PPI) is an opportunity by the company for the intern to be directly
selected for the interview for final placements. Thus, the students should be careful in applying to the companies
of their choice and should put in all efforts to convert the internship into an Offer. Thus, the seriousness of this
cannot be overstated.
9.3.8 While feedback from the company is sought, the internship is also evaluated by School that could involve faculty
guide monitoring the performance; periodic report submissions, evaluations, Viva Voce etc.

9.4 Final Placements

9.4.1 Leading companies across sectors aspire to recruit students of NMIMS. Each company has its own set of
characteristics or qualities that they look for in a candidate. Hence, the company devises the eligibility criteria and
selection process accordingly.
9.4.2 The process of selection starts with inviting applications based on the eligibility, profile, project,
stipend/compensation details shared by the company. The applications of applicants are then sent to companies.
Students are required to check their emails/Placement Portal/Student Portal, etc. regularly for information updates.
9.4.3 Every effort will be made to facilitate the placement process. However, it is the effort of the student that gets
him/her selected for the job. Not getting selected for internships or during final placements in the first few
companies should not lead to panic. Students are advised not to switch profiles in anxiety or haste.
9.4.4 Companies could have one or multiple rounds for selection – case analysis, group discussion, group exercises,
interviews etc. Reasons like location, family issues etc. should not be constraints to students. They are expected
to be mobile and have the capability to adjust and adapt and respond to emergent situations successfully.
9.4.5 Students who wish to drop out of the placement process are expected to formally notify the Placement Office vide
the ‘Opted Out Form’ mentioning the reason, which could be higher studies, entrepreneurship, family business,
seeking placements on their own giving with the names of such companies and details. The reason being, to iron
out any hitches that may crop up later as the Placement Office approaches many companies and would like to
continue the cordial relationship with them.
Each of the Schools will be sharing to the batch, guidelines related to Resume, PPT, Internships, PPO’s/PPI’s,
Final Placements, etc. and it is expected that students follow the same. The School reserves the right to change,
modify the guidelines in the best interest of the batch. Students are free to approach the Placement Office for any
queries or guidance.

member by the end of the trimester/Semester.
11.2 All students should get involved in this mechanism seriously as it truly helps the NMIMS improve the quality of services
and teaching provided.
21
 11.3 These are open ended questions in which student can reflect learning and teaching aspects of the course.

Students (as applicable school wise) have been assigned faculty mentors whose role is to help assimilate the NMIMS
culture, facilitate intelligent choice making regarding selection of courses and help in identification of resources needed
by all students. Do meet your faculty mentor regularly as per their convenience and availability.

12.2 Psychologist and a Counsellor:

A counsellor is a non-judgmental friend who understands, ensures privacy and confidentiality and counsels you by
giving choices so that you make the right decision. Counselling is based on realistic, structured and research based
therapies.
Managing emotions is important to ensure all rounded progress in life. To learn something new, we need to break the
old walls of myths and misconceptions. Visiting a counsellor helps us to relearn some more helpful, progressive, reality
based thinking. Personal counselling is very important at every step in life even at the corporate level. What we think
about situations affects our subconscious mind deeply which interferes with our present life and hinders our ability to
lead a healthy life.

As normal human beings at any given time in life we could go through challenging times and have no one to share or
guide us. We often do not share our issues with family or friends due to the fear of upsetting them. We worry that
perhaps they may not understand or could become judgmental. At such times we recommend Personal Counselling.

i. “I cannot concentrate or focus nor can I sleep, at times I get so scared that I go blank in my exams!”
ii. “Since the time he left me I cannot put my attention to anything I will not be able to live anymore………
can’t bear it if she is not in my life!”
iii. “I have lost my confidence I feel worthless /hopeless; no one loves me. I don’t want to live anymore”
iv. Nobody understands what I am going through…. people become judgemental instead of understanding
and supporting, whom to share it with?
v. Where do I seek help? Who will be able to really help?

Have you had any of these repetitive thoughts or are you facing a rejection that you are not able to cope up with?
Have you reacted very angrily first and then later realised that reacting to the event was not really needed and in the
process you harmed the relations you had with your friends and family? You just do not know what went wrong then?
Do not understand what triggered you?

Just as we would treat a sprain with some ointment, we try to heal our emotional pain on our own. At times when the
sprain is not healing we visit the doctor and similarly one visits the counsellor sometimes when we are unable to clear
our own emotional challenges. The counsellor needs to check how deep your wound is and usually you are helped by
putting a plaster of protection (counselling). Sometimes the wound may have been too deep /chronic or your bone is
broken it could also need psychiatric intervention and give appropriate help.

We may be unaware of the implications of our behaviour on others but it eventually could affect our relations in daily
life at home, in class, or at work. When the past emotional situations are not dealt with therapeutically, we could develop
unhealthy negative thoughts and feelings which we need to be aware of as they could again lead to complications and
could affect our performance, decision making, logical thinking, studies, relationships, and career. This form of
continued stress can gradually affect our body and physiological health causing hypertension, respiratory ailments,
gastrointestinal disturbances, migraine and tension headaches, pelvic pain, impotence, frigidity, dermatitis, and ulcers.

The biggest myth is to believe that to be emotional is to be weak so often we push all our emotional issues under the
blanket and then to avoid sleepless nights take up unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking, and substance abuse. We
do this hoping to feel better which lasts only for short term on the other hand creating long term damage and may lead
to unhealthy dependency.

NMIMS wants to ensure holistic development of the students and therefore have appointed a team of psychologists and
a counsellor.

22. International Student Exchange Program Policy

22.1 Introduction

NMIMS Deemed-to-be-University has developed an extensive International Students Exchange Program in order to
provide a cross cultural exposure and a global perspective to the students apart from classroom teaching. This is
managed by Department of International Linkages of the University. The Exchange Program has become increasingly
popular with the students and every year students get a chance to spend Semester/Trimesters at a partner Institute. With
the dedicated efforts of the International Linkages department, efforts are ongoing to have larger number of students to
avail of this unique opportunity in every school. Students at NMIMS also benefit from interacting with overseas
students who visit us as part of NMIMS Inbound exchange program and International Immersions.

22.2 PREAMBLE
In a world that is increasingly interdependent, it is imperative for the NMIMS Deemed-to-be-University to have an
internationalization agenda. This involves creation of a multi ethnic environment in our programs on our campus. This
can happen only when students from different countries and communities join NMIMS programs.

This policy on internalization seeks to clarify the philosophy behind the NMIMS Deemed-to-be-University’s
29
 Internationalization program and sets out the eligibility of students to apply for an international exchange program. It
also sets out the selection criteria and guidelines for assessing applications and the expectations from the students going
for the exchange program.
This policy also lays out the facilities for international students in our programs and also the expectations from them. We
expect our foreign students to conduct themselves at par with other Indian students.

2.3.1 Academic Break

With respect to the academic break mentioned in 12.4 of Part-I, the following point needs to be kept in consideration
for the PGDM (Executive). Not more than two academic breaks will be allowed where the total period of both the
breaks doesn’t exceed sixteen months, subject to the Director’s approval. Post the academic break the student has to
seek admission in the same trimester (which he / she discontinued) of the next immediate batch.

2.3.2 Readmission and Batch transfer of PGDM (Executive) participants

2.3.2..1 Participants of the PGDM (Executive) programs are working executives (with over 3 years of experience). Many of
the participants are working with reputed companies and are subject to the demands of a high pressure professional
life involving heavy work load, frequent travel within and outside the country. While they take up the program to
upgrade their skills and advance their careers, they have to contend with the challenges of not being able to complete
it at one go. Sometimes, there are other personal and excruciating family circumstances that come on the way.

In view of the above, participants are often forced to temporarily take a break from studies. Many such participants
would like to continue their studies and rejoin the program after their transfer / stint abroad or other exigency is
complete. As an institute interested in promoting Executive Education, NMIMS needs to look into this aspect and
make a customer policy friendly so that the basic objective of advancement of learning of executives is achieved.

This policy note covers, the circumstances under which PGDM (Executive) participants who leave the program
midway will be allowed to rejoin in another batch and the administrative rules that would encompass their rejoining
and continuance. The two basic aspects of the policy are:

 Granting long leave of absence from the program

 Re-admission from long leave

2.3.2..2 Circumstances under which participants can be granted long leave of absence:

PGDM (Executive) participants will be granted long leave of absence under one of the following circumstances:
 When a participant has to go on a project assignment in India (outside Hyderabad) OR deputation abroad for
a length of time, exceeding one month
 When a participant has been transferred to another city
 When a participant has to attend / tend over critically ill family members
 When a participant suffers an accident, and has serious medical ailments
 When a female participant is in the ‘Family way’ and has to take maternity leave.

2.3.2..3 The participant shall provide relevant proof to substantiate one of the cases as may be applicable.
 Long leave of absence is granted on application by the concerned participant and shall be duly approved by
the Director. Thus, if a participant takes a break without applying for leave of absence, he/she will have to
take fresh admission and start from Trimester-1.

2.3.2..4 Rules for Readmission/ Batch Transfer:

 At NMIMS, Hyderabad generally two batches per year are launched and during a year, batches are in various
stages of the academic cycle right from Trimester-1 to Trimester-5.
 Participants who have been granted long leave of absence can get re-admitted to the program later, subject
to the following conditions:
i. In case the participant takes leave from the program after having completed a particular trimester, he/she
will be allowed to rejoin the next trimester with a batch that will be available in the immediate future for
the particular trimester.

48
 ii. In case the participant leaves a trimester midway, he/she has to repeat the trimester on rejoining with a
batch that is undergoing the particular trimester.
iii. Rejoining will be only allowed subject to the participant completing the program in 36 months from the
date of original joining. Thus, if a participant has completed 2 trimesters and quits midway through the
3rd trimester, he/she has completed 10 months. On rejoining, the participant will have to start with the
3rd trimester and complete Trimesters 3, 4 and 5 (over another 12 months) that is within a period of 26
months (cap of 36 months’ minus 10 months) from the original joining date in Trimester 1. In other
words, he can be granted leave of absence only for a maximum of 14 months (26-12).
iv. While taking a decision on re-admission, NMIMS will take into consideration, the participant’s track
record including attendance as well as academic performance.

2.3.3 Re-Admission fees

Fees/instalments paid are not refundable. In case a participant leaves the program midway and re-joins later, while
taking re-admission to the program, the participant shall pay:

A basic re-admission fee of ₹ 10,000/- towards administration costs,

Plus
An amount calculated as “Total fee as per the prevailing fee structure at the time of re-admission minus fees already
paid.” In case the participant has left a trimester midway, the cost of the tuition fees plus food expenses incurred for
the sessions attended in the Trimester shall be proportionally recovered while calculating the above amount.

2.5 Placement Norms

The Placement Office of NMIMS, Hyderabad facilitates the process of final placements by creating an interface between
the recruiters and the students of the PGDM/MBA Program. Student must honor the commitment made by NMIMS,
Hyderabad on their behalf. In the event of non-conformance to the placement rules and procedures, NMIMS, Hyderabad
reserves the right to initiate corrective action. Efforts to market the PGDM / MBA program with its merit, is made by the
Placement Office with the endeavor to get companies to recruit across specializations. However, the final call rests with
the companies regarding candidates’ eligibility criteria and the decision is honored by NMIMS, Hyderabad. Therefore,
the selection process specified by the company will be followed.

The Final Placements are conducted on a rolling basis. Companies/recruiters are invited to the campus to participate in the
process. This process of sending out invitations to the companies continues up until March, 2021 or until the entire batch
(excluding opt outs) are successfully placed, whichever is early. This year is throwing up unprecedented challenges in
terms of the Covid-19 situation across the globe and more specifically with respect to our Country. The Placement office
has been agile enough to gear upto the new challenges and is pooling up all resources to face the new normal. We have
seen a great cooperation from our Corporate Partners even in this situation and are well prepared to tide over the situation.

2.5.1 Placement Guidelines

 Please read these along with Placement guidelines - point # 9 of Part 1 of SRB for SBM
 NMIMS follows a ‘1 student 1 offer’ policy. Each student is entitled to only one offer.
 A student can sit for a maximum of 10 companies pertaining to his/her Major specialization and Cross
specialization. The debar rule is still applicable.
 A student must attend Placement Compulsory Sessions/ Pre-Placement Talks (PPTs)/ Placement led Guest
Lectures.
 If the company wants students to sit for Pre-placement talk irrespective of the domain, it is mandatory for the
students to attend the same to put up the desired strength of applicants. By failing to do so, the student will be
debarred from the campus placement process
 Students are expected to attend all the training programs, interview preparatory sessions, guest lectures and any
mock assessments conducted by the Placement Office without fail. Strict disciplinary action will be taken against
defaulters as decided by the Management.
 Students who have prior work experience need to submit the Form16 or last pay slip of their organization.
 It is mandatory for the students to remain in the company they join from college for at least 12 months. Non-
adherence to this would affect the student’s degree.
 Students are allowed to apply to companies only if their CGPA is 2.75 and above before the application.
 Non-adherence to following timelines given by the Placement Committee for submission of documents will lead
to debarment from placements.
 Students have to be open and willing to work across India.

2.5.2 Placement Process

 Applications are invited based on the eligibility criteria regarding programs, academic qualifications, work
experience etc. indicated by the company for the students to register for the placement drive.
 After registration the list of interested students will be shared with the companies.
 Depending on the convenience companies will either call students to their premises or come down to our city/
Jadcherla campus. The selection process will be held on campus or in some cases the student may have to go to
the Company’s office for the same. The student will not be able to back out on this account.

50
  Companies generally share details of the job offering beforehand while many give a general idea about the
opportunity or Pre-placement talk on the day of the campus. Students must be aware of the organization and the
role being offered before applying.
 All the students are supposed to plan for their interview. They should prepare for selection process, besides read
the instructions and Job Description (JD) carefully. Students should not go with any confusion on JD’s and should
not debate with Placement team and argue with the Recruiter. If they have any specific queries it can be routed
through Placement Dept., and can be clarified appropriately during the Pre-Placement Talk by the said Recruiter.
 Students participating in Campus recruitment process initiated by the Institute, should not convey any comments
on the Company and the profile offered. If they do not like any profile or any other role offered they should
politely ask for some time to think and first discuss with the Placement Dept., instead of expressing it directly
with the Company HR/Official taking the Interview that, Company profile is not good and nobody is interested
in your Company, the role offered is not good etc. The Director of the institute is free to initiate disciplinary action
against such students, including debarring from Placement process.
 Students are expected to be mobile, and have the capability to adjust and respond to emergent situations
successfully. Sometimes companies might add/remove/modify the selection process. Students must always be
ready to face challenges in such scenario.
 Companies would be encouraged to give spot offers. Once a student is offered a job he/she would be out of the
placement process and will not be eligible to apply for further drives and take up any subsequent job offers.
 Offers made by the companies during the placement process cannot be rejected. Thus, students are expected to
make informed decisions about applying to a company.
 In extremely rare cases if a student gets multiple job offers ‘simultaneously’, the placement office will take a call
and the student will have to accept one offer and reject the other on the spot.
 Students have to participate in all selection process for which they have been shortlisted. In stray cases if a student
fails to attend any selection process, he must submit an application regarding the same. Only if the reason is found
valid and approved by the competent authority, the student will be given further chance to appear for other
processes.
 In case the student deliberately creates problems at a later stage (Deliberate attempt to ruin the interview, applying
and not attending the company interview, negotiating packages/location), he/she will be liable for disciplinary
action. This could include levy of a monetary fine and even debarment from placements.
 It is mandatory to submit photocopy of Offer letter to Placement Office. Students must also inform their Joining
status to the Placement Office.

2.5.3 Opting out from Placements

 In case a student wishes to opt out of the placement process, he/she must submit a letter to the placement office
and must officially sign out of the placement process.
 A candidate has to withdraw from the final placement process if he/she is keen to seek an opportunity on his/her
own. The student needs to seek the approval of the Placement Office i.e. submit the Opted Out Form duly
completed with the names of such companies and other details where he/she is trying. The reason being to iron
out any hitches that may crop up later. The Placement Office approaches many companies and would like to
continue the cordial relationship with them. Thus if one wants to opt out, he should do so before the process
begins. However, if one has already applied to companies and awaiting further course of action, then the student
will have to participate in the selection process.
 If one wants to opt out, he/she will be allowed to opt out only subject to the following conditions:
a. He/she is not already placed in any other company through campus.
b. He/she is not part of any company’s recruiting process (on campus) at any point in time.
c. If one has already applied to companies outside campus, then he/she needs to inform the placement office
and will be out of Placements. Failure to meet these requirements may result in a disciplinary action against
the candidate (may be even withholding the degree of the candidate).
 After opting out, the student will not be allowed to re-enter the placement process at a later stage.

51
2.5.4 Pre Placement Offers (PPOs)
 As a policy, NMIMS Hyderabad encourages candidates to work towards PPO’s in order to strengthen the
executive placements.
 Pre-placement offers made by the companies have to be routed through the Placement Office.
 If the candidate accepts the offer made, he/she has to sign out of the placement process and will not be eligible to
apply during final placements.
 It is the Student’s choice whether he/she wishes to accept or reject the PPO offer. However, the student has to
decide on acceptance or rejection on within 24 hours or a company specified earlier date.
 Students getting PPO/PPI offer directly from the companies are required to convey the same to the Placement
office via a formal letter or a mail. Student found to be deliberately withholding such PPO/PPI offer, will be
subject to disciplinary action.
 In case a student fails to inform the Placement office before the appointed date he/she would be considered to
have accepted the PPO.
 Placement Team will try to ensure that all companies desiring to make a PPO offer do the same before the
deadline; however, any PPO offer made after the deadline will result in automatic rejection if the student is already
placed by the time the offer is made.
 If the company makes an offer after the deadline and the student is still not placed, he/she will have to decide
whether to accept or reject the PPO within 24 hours of being informed.
 In case of acceptance of the PPO, the student would not be eligible to participate further in the campus Placement
Process.
 For a Pre Placement Interview (PPI), the student MUST sit for the same. Student rejecting a PPI will not be
allowed to appear for any further placement process. In case of a conversion to a PPO, the PPO policy would be
applicable.
 PPO’s / PPI’s which are officially communicated to the Placement Committee by the company will be considered
for the records. Only those students would be eligible to mention the same on their resumes. No other student can
mention PPO/PPI of his or her own accord.
 In case a candidate rejects a PPO, the following future course of action would be applicable to the candidate:
i. The candidate must give a reason for rejecting the PPO (salary/profile).
ii. A candidate can reject a PPO based on salary, if the offered salary is less than campus norms.
iii. In case the candidate refuses the PPO on the basis of salary, the candidate will only will be allowed to
sit for further company processes where the company offers a higher salary than that being offered by
the PPO Company.
iv. In cases where the candidate refuses the PPO on the basis of profile (e.g. Marketing, finance, HR etc.),
the candidate will not be allowed to take part in any further processes of companies offering the same
profile.
v. No cases of location preferences will be entertained. If a candidate rejects a PPO based on location
preferences, he/she will be considered opted out of the placement process and not be eligible to sit for
any further processes on campus.
vi. Any other extremely rare cases where reasons apart from the above are given, the final authority will
rest with the Director, NMIMS, Hyderabad or some other competent authority after hearing the case
plea.
vii. Any other cases not covered in the above will not be entertained and the student will be required to either
accept the PPO or opt out of the placement process.

2.5.5 Post Selection

3.2 EXAMINATION GUIDELINES – PGDM (Executive) – General Management / Business Analytics / Fintech

3.2.1 ICA / TEE Passing Criteria for each Course:

To pass in a particular subject in any of the trimester end examination or trimester end re-examination.

a. Wherever a course is taught by one faculty in one or more divisions – A student must secure a minimum of
one-third marks (after factorization) of the total maximum marks of that subject, in the trimester end examination.
b. Wherever a course is taught by more than one faculty in multiple divisions – A student must secure a
minimum of one-third marks (after factorization) of the total maximum marks of that subject in the trimester –
end examination.

3.2.2 GRADING SYSTEM

Method of calculation of letter grades for batch size of 25 and above
a. Wherever the course is taught by one faculty in one or more divisions
Grading will be done after considering the marks (i.e. aggregate of internal continuous assessment and trimester
end examination marks) obtained by each student of the entire batch for the course sharing common paper, by
fitting such marks into normal distribution curve as mentioned below.

b. Wherever the course is taught by more than one faculty in multiple divisions:

i. The Average of marks obtained by the candidates in a course (internal continuous assessment + trimester end
examination) for a batch would be calculated for each faculty.
ii. Grand Average of marks obtained by the candidate for each course (internal continuous assessment +
trimester end examination) of the batch would be calculated.
iii. ‘Factor Score’ using Individual average and grand average obtained above would be calculated as - grand
average divided by average for a faculty.
iv. The marks assigned by each faculty to the individual student for each course would be factorised.

56
 v. The above factorization would be done by multiplying ‘the marks assigned by the faculty to each student for
that course’ by ‘the factor scores for the course obtained as above’ for respective division/s.
vi. Combining all factorised marks of the entire batch (all divisions) for the course sharing common paper,
normal distribution would be fitted.
vii. For the purpose of assigning grades, the following table would be used.

Letter Grade % of class

Grade A 15 percent of batch excluding Grades D & F
Grade B 50 percent of batch excluding Grades D & F
Grade C 35 percent of batch excluding Grades D & F
Grade D Where factorized marks obtained are between 40 and 49
Grade F i) Where marks obtained are less than 40 (39 and below) in aggregate
and/or
ii) Where the marks obtained in the trimester end examination are less
than one-third of the total maximum marks of the respective course.
(as defined in 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 above)

3.2.3 Method of calculation of letter grades for class size of less than25:

For the calculation of grades, the following guidelines would be observed:

3.2.3.1 Maximum marks assigned by the faculty concerned for a course will be taken into account for the batch/
group.
3.2.3.2 Difference between the maximum marks and 50 marks would be calculated.
3.2.3.3 The said difference will be equally divided into slabs of nine letter grades (i.e. A+, A, and A-, B+, Band
B- and C+, C and C-)
3.2.3.4 ‘D’ grade will be assigned to students, who have obtained marks between 40 and49.
3.2.3.5 F’ grade will be assigned to students who have obtained marks less than 40 and / or to the students whose
marks in the trimester end examination are less than one-third of the total maximum marks of the trimester
end examination of the respective course.’
3.2.3.6 Grading will be done on the basis of marks obtained by a student in each course which will be fitted into
the above slabs of letter grades. Here A will include A+, A and A-, B includes B+, B and B-, C includes
C+, C and C- as given above, while calculating the letter grades for each course of the students.
3.2.3.7 In case of elective courses, the number of students for that course would be considered for the purpose of
assigning grades for that course.

3.2.4 Method of Calculation of GPA & CGPA:

GPA (Grade Point Average) for a term will be computed by dividing, the sum of product of grade point of each
Course / module and credit value assigned, to each respective course by the sum of credits assigned to all the courses/
modules for the related term.

CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) up to and including a term will be computed by dividing the sum of product
of grade point of each course/ module and credit value assigned to each respective course by the sum of credits
assigned to all the courses/ modules up to and including the related term.
Here:
C= Credit value assigned to a course/module
G= Grade point value assigned to a student for course/ module corresponding to the letter grade (refer table given)
GPA: Grade Point Average shall be calculated for Individual term.
CGPA: Cumulative Grade Point Average shall be calculated up to and including each term till date
