Placement Bureau

The placement bureau of the department is managed by a Placement Committee consisting of Director, HOD - RD, Placement Coordinator, Faculty members and Student representatives.

The Bureau aims at helping the students in planning their career and finding the type of job opportunities they are interested in and have required potential for.

To achieve this objective, the Bureau acts as a channel of communication between organizations seeking professionally trained personnel and students ready to take up challenging career opportunities. The bureau is responsible for correspondence with prospective employers, arranging pre-placement talks, campus interviews and providing required facilities to the visiting organizations in order to ensure that all the students secure meaningful and challenging career opportunities in accordance with mission of XISS.

In addition, the Bureau is involved in the development of an information bank about organizations, career counselling and other placement related activities.

Placement Opportunities

There is a wide range of the nature of jobs offered to XISS graduates. The offers made are mainly in the areas such as planning and information systems, project management, production management, marketing, entrepreneurship development, human resource development, natural resource development, women’s development etc.

Last year (2007) all the 71 students were placed at some of the prestigious organizations. These include government and corporate organizations like Udyogini, World Vision, NDPL, Essel Mining and Industries Limited, NDDB sponsored FES, BASIX, Arvind Mills (SHARDA Trust), International organizations like Aide-et-Action, CCF and National level NGOs like SRIJAN, SRKPS, CASA, BAIF, CINI, Vasundhera, SEWA Bharat, FES, CASHPOR Micro Creadit, KNNA etc.

Pre-placement

The objective of such an overture is to provide insights to students regarding the structure, nature of job, remuneration package being offered, career prospects and details of the recruitment process of the organization.

The interaction can help the students to understand the expectation of the organizations, while the organization can get to know the students aspirations.

The Pre-placement talks will commence from the 3rd week of January 2008. These can be scheduled on any working day of the week. To avoid any disruption of the academic routine, the talks should be scheduled preferably between 2.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m. on weekdays or in the morning hours on Saturdays. The Institute will provide facilities like OHP, VCP and LCD Projector.

The Organizations should confirm their participation in the pre-placement session through a communication addressed to the Placement Co-coordinator. They are also requested to suggest two or three alternative dates for interview. In case, the organization is unable to participate in the pre-placement overture they can send relevant information as per job announcement format to the Placement Bureau.

Placement Norms For Participating Organisation

Organizations are requested to hold the preliminary interview only at XISS, Ranchi. No OFF-CAMPUS interview can be arranged for this purpose. However, organizations are requested to select students on the basis of comprehensive interview only. The participating organizations are requested to send their representatives with full authority to make final job offer(s), immediately after the interview.

Organizations can invite the short-listed candidates (students) on the basis of preliminary interview for OFF-CAMPUS final interview if so desired. In such cases, it is customary on the part of the organization to reimburse the to and fro travel fare and other incidental expenses.

Organizations are requested to make a panel of choices so that if any student opts out, the next candidate can come in for the offer.

Organizations are requested to declare the result soon after the interview right in the campus and to send the appointment letter within a fortnight.

Organizations are requested to make all correspondences only through the Placement Co¬coordinator (even when letter is addressed to the students), and not to entertain any letter from the students without having the endorsement of the Placement Co-coordinator.

Campus on Wheels

In the last few years, though interested to recruit from the Institute, some organizations have not been able to come down to the campus due to certain unavoidable reasons.

With a view to accommodate the request of such organizations, the Institute has introduced “Campus on Wheels". The organizations interested in recruiting through “Campus on Wheels” should send back the response form, in the specified format. They should also attach the relevant information about the job along with the form.
