The three pillars of NMIMS are quality, employability, and excellence. All this has been achieved through a culture of dialogue,

compared to the conventional program designs. We have always believed in remaining relevant and, at the same time, engaging in
knowledge generation and dissemination. NMIMS faculty today is an eclectic mix of young and not so young, having academic
and industry experience, and those with national and/or foreign qualifications. It is this mix of faculty that you will have the
opportunity to learn from. NMIMS ethos is to develop professionals who are socially sensitive and live in harmony with the

NMIMS. There are appropriate channels and structures to respond to student grievances.

The student resource book guides you on rules and regulations of University and will help you navigate your journey here at the
NMIMS. During your stay at NMIMS, we would like to ensure clarity and transparency in our communication. The Student
Resource Book has been divided into three parts. Part I comprises University information and rules and regulations that you would

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

16
 benefit, tweak our systems, procedures and offerings accordingly. The thoughts could be numerous. But the key, is to
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.

17
 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.

11 Feedback Mechanism:
11.1 NMIMS has a well-established online feedback mechanism through Student Portal for communication of perceptions.
The components of this feedback mechanism are:
11.1.1 Feedback at the end of the third week of every trimester/Semester. Dean / Director /Program Chairperson/HOD
will meet students personally, if applicable.
11.1.2 Online Feedback through Students Portal is taken using a questionnaire preferably in the last session of every
course in each trimester/Semester. This feedback is compiled and statistics are placed before each faculty
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.
11.3 These are open ended questions in which student can reflect learning and teaching aspects of the course.

20
 11.4 NMIMS uses feedback to improve the teaching learning process proactively.
11.5 While sharing the feedback to the faculty members, student’s identity is kept confidential.
12 Mentoring Program / ‘Psychologist and a Counsellor’:
12.1 Mentoring Program:
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.
