Placement Policy

Our placement assistance framework, eligibility requirements, and guidelines for students seeking career support through Meritshot.

1.1 Placement Assistance

The institute provides placement assistance to eligible students upon successful completion of the program. Placement assistance includes, but is not limited to:

  • Resume building sessions
  • LinkedIn profile optimization
  • Mock interviews
  • Aptitude preparation
  • Technical interview preparation
  • HR interview preparation
  • Job referrals and interview opportunities

Important: Placement assistance does not guarantee placement, job role, salary package, or company selection. Final hiring decisions are solely based on company requirements and candidate performance.

Legal Reference: In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, placement assistance is classified as an ancillary educational service. Any marketing communication referencing 'placement support' refers exclusively to facilitated access and preparation services, not an assured employment outcome.

1.2 Placement Eligibility Criteria

A student becomes eligible for placement assistance only after fulfilling all of the following requirements:

  • Minimum required attendance as per the Attendance Policy
  • Completion of all mandatory assignments and projects within stipulated deadlines
  • Successful submission and approval of the capstone or final project
  • Completion of all assessments and tests
  • Demonstration of professional conduct throughout the program
  • Active and consistent participation in all placement preparation activities
  • Full settlement of program fees
  • Submission of all required KYC documents

Important: Students who fail to meet the above criteria may be declared 'Not Placement Eligible' and will not receive access to placement support services until the shortfall is remedied, subject to management review.

1.3 Interview & Offer Process

  • Students are expected to attend all scheduled interviews once shortlisted
  • If a student intentionally misses a scheduled interview without prior approval, the placement team reserves the right to restrict future interview opportunities
  • Students must maintain high professional standards throughout all stages of the interview process
  • Students must not provide false, misleading, or exaggerated information to hiring partners
  • Any misrepresentation may result in immediate disqualification and permanent removal from the placement programme
  • All communication with hiring partners must be conducted through official Meritshot channels

Legal Reference: Misrepresentation of qualifications or work experience to prospective employers may constitute an offence under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (Cheating) and Section 17 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 (Misrepresentation).

1.4 Offer Rejection Policy

  • Rejecting an interview opportunity without a valid reason may be counted as a used placement attempt
  • Rejecting a job offer after clearing all rounds may render the student ineligible for immediate further placement opportunities in the current cycle
  • Multiple instances of offer rejection may lead to suspension from placement assistance services
  • Meritshot bears no financial or legal liability for any employment opportunity declined by a student

1.5 Placement Attempt Policy

Interview opportunities are finite and allocated based on the following factors:

  • Student skill level and technical knowledge
  • Communication skills
  • Company eligibility criteria
  • Market demand
  • Batch-level placement capacity

Important: Every student may receive a limited number of interview opportunities. Placement is not guaranteed solely on the basis of program completion.

1.6 Fake Information & Misconduct

The following actions may result in permanent removal from placement support services:

  • Submitting fake experience certificates or forged documents
  • Participating in or facilitating proxy interviews
  • Misbehaviour or unprofessional conduct with recruiters
  • Sharing confidential interview questions or assessment patterns
  • Submitting plagiarized projects or resumes
  • Providing false information in enrollment or placement-related declarations

Important: Misconduct may be reported to hiring partners and may affect the student's professional reputation beyond Meritshot's placement network.

Legal Reference: Forgery of documents, fabrication of experience records, or impersonation in interviews may constitute criminal offences under Section 468, Section 471, and Section 419 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.

1.7 Salary & Job Role Disclaimer

The institute does not guarantee any fixed salary package or specific job role. Final salary offers are determined by:

  • Candidate performance during the interview process
  • Prior work experience and background
  • Demonstrated technical expertise
  • Company-specific compensation standards
  • Market conditions at the time of hiring
  • Applicable statutory deductions

Legal Reference: Any representation of salary figures in Meritshot's marketing materials reflects historical outcomes from previous batches and does not constitute a contractual guarantee of future earnings, as per the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.
