The company should fill in a Job Announcement Form (JAF) and submit the same to the Training and Placement Cell (TPC) as an attachment to tpo@iitbhu.ac.in, or in the form of a hard copy. Any changes in the filled JAF must be notified by the organisation to the TPC via email.
The details provided in the JAF will not be floated to the students unless the company provides a proper breakup of the CTC being offered, including bonus and stock options. The company must also specify if it has a bond/service contract. The company must mandatorily inform the cell with the first year CTC details. The content of the JAF relevant to the students is electronically broadcasted to all the concerned students along with the other additional information furnished by the company in its other mails.
Depending upon the requirements, the company will be provided with the summarised data or the resumes of interested students. The company may use this information to prepare a shortlist before beginning the next placement process. The data provided will be duly verified by the Cell.
The company will be allotted slots and dates (Placement Calendar) for conducting Pre Placement Talk (PPT)/Written-Test/Online-Test/Interview with a request to confirm the same by a specified date. On failing to do so, the allotted slot may be given to the other companies. Requests for any change in the slot can be entertained subject to its availability.
The final placement process (Group Discussion/Interview) is slotted from December 01, 2026 onwards with further details given below:
December 01-04, 2026- Two Interview-slots/day Slot 1: 08:00 AM- 03:00 PM Slot 2: 05:00 PM- 12:00 AM Results for slot 1 and slot 2 will be declared at 03:00 PM and 12:00 AM, respectively. The list of shortlisted students for the interview is to be mailed to the TPC by the company before December 01, 2026.
December 05, 2026 onwards: One/two slots depending on the number of companies from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 12:00 AM respectively. If company has inconvenience in visiting the campus twice (once for PPT and test, and next for final selection), it may be allowed to carry out its entire selection process, including PPT, on a mutually agreed date, while ensuring that the timings requested do not clash with the schedule finalized with the other companies.
TPC generally allots a date and a slot to the company for the final placement process based on the following criteria:
Job profile and growth prospects,
CTC being offered by the company (CTC and take-home),
Past record of recruitment including pre-placement-offers (PPOs),
Conduct of Pre-Placement-Talk/Written-Test/Online-Test before final placement (as mentioned in point 5 above),
Internship offered for pre-final year students,
Feedback from the students/alumni regarding the company, and
Company’s past record of revoking/rescinding offers provided to the students.
The companies are advised to conduct the PPT much before the final placement commences. This will provide an ample time to the students for making a considered decision for opting them judiciously in line with their career prospects.
The student(s) shortlisted by the organization/company may not be available for the interview for two reasons as follows:
A student may opt out of the company because the student she/he is allowed to appear in the interview of any four companies in a single slot on the day.
A student shortlisted might have earned a job prior to the scheduled slot organization/company for the final placement process.
TPC will provide a comprehensive list of such students to the company before its scheduled slot. For this reason, The Organization/Company are advised to maintain an extended list of shortlisted students to have makeup against the dropout. It will help to choose the right candidate from a sizable lot. It shall be appreciated if such a list is communicated to us early to avoid last minute hassles to be experienced by the companies.
In the case a company exceeds the time of their allotted slot in finishing their selection process, their selection results will be declared along with the results of the companies scheduled in the next slot.
The final selection is not to be disclosed to the students directly. The results are to be submitted to the TPC by the end of the assigned slot for phase 1 processes (After 15th December 2026, the company is expected to release the results within 24 working hours of interview completion) in a sealed envelope or by an email to tpo@iitbhu.ac.in and the TPC will be informing the concerned students.
In case of any loss in the number of offers due to dropout, the company is suggested to prepare a waitlist of students in order of their merit. Any dropout from the main-list will enable movement of the waitlisted candidates to the list of selected candidates in the same order as communicated by the company. The company will be informed of the same.
It is important to understand that another company may be scheduled before/after your slot on the same date and any shift is bound to cause inconvenience to yourself and others as well. Therefore, you should visit the campus on the scheduled dates and slots to conduct the Written test/Online-test/GD/Interview.
The duration of the first round of interview for a candidate should not exceed 45 minutes in one go and 1 hour 30 minutes put together. There has to be a time gap of at least 45 minutes between two rounds of interviews. It is also mandatory for the companies to ensure that they conduct at least 1 round of interviews for all the shortlisted candidates. This is necessary to ensure the availability of the students for the other companies scheduled during the same slot and day. It is also to discourage the companies who hold promising students in interviews so that such students can not appear before the other companies.
The Institute follows a 'One-Student-One-Job' policy. Low paid jobs from IT companies recruiting 30 or more students are not counted towards this. Exceptions will also be exercised in the case of government organisations/PSUs as the students’ education is largely supported by the people of this country. Once a student is offered a job in the PSUs/Government, he/she will not be allowed to sit for any further campus recruitment drive and will decline any other job he/she might have earned from campus.
As an exception to the ‘One-Student-One-Job’ policy, a student who has earned a job can appear for placement in another company if he/she is allowed for the same by the Coordinator. The discretion of the Coordinator of Training and Placement Cell IIT (BHU) Varanasi will be final in this regard.
If the company is going to offer a job profile or CTC different from the one for which the candidate has applied, the pre-decided slot for the company can be downgraded only on the recommendation of the coordination committee subject to the approval of the Coordinator. The consent of the student should be obtained in writing and be attached with the selection results to be handed over to the TPC. The final decision shall rest with the Coordinator of Training and Placement Cell.
The company is required to send offer letters to TPC for handing it over to the concerned students. Such letters should be mailed to the Cell before March 31, 2027, for all the interviews finished by the third week of March 2027. The companies visiting later are expected to issue the same within two weeks from their date of the interview.
If the actual number of hires by the company is less than that as mentioned in the JAF, the company must mandatorily provide the Cell with proper reasoning and feedback for the lesser number of hires. It is discouraged to recruit fewer candidates compared to those mentioned in JAF.
The company may also, if interested, conduct selections for a summer internship during their visit. Internship Policy along with Placement Calendar can be referred for this purpose.
The companies are advised to inform the Training and Placement Cell (TPC) if they have extended a full-time offer to any student through an off-campus process. Additionally, they should specify whether the student has accepted the offer or not. If the offer is accepted, the student will no longer be eligible to participate in any further campus recruitment drives.
If a company violates any of the above-mentioned policies, they are liable to face due action at the discretion of the Coordination Committee of the Training and Placement Cell.
Any company that revokes a placement offer unconditionally shall be subject to suitable actions for the following placement season. In the event that the placement offer is subsequently reinstated, the company shall be demoted to a later recruitment slot in the following year. Any company that revokes an offer on the grounds that a student does not meet certain eligibility criteria that were not specified in the Job Description (JD) or in any prior written communications with the Placement Team shall be demoted to a later recruitment slot in the following year. Background verification and physical fitness tests are excluded from this provision and may be cited as grounds for revocation without attracting any penalty, regardless of prior disclosure. In the event that such an offer is reinstated, no consequences shall apply. Any company found to have a persistent history of revoking placement offers shall be reported to the All IIT Placement Committee (AIPC) to take suitable actions against the company across all IITs.
If a company extends a spot offer to a student, the student will be immediately opted out of the placement process and barred from attending further interviews in any other company. An exception is made exclusively for instances where the student has already begun an interview with another company before receiving the spot offer; in such cases, the student is allowed to complete the recruitment process in that company.
The undergraduate students are required to undergo summer training/internship for the duration of minimum 6 weeks during the summer vacation. B.Tech. students are allowed to proceed for the internship after completion of 6 semesters, and IDD (dual degree) students after the completion of 6 or 8 semesters depending upon their wish. M.Tech./M.Pharma. students may proceed for at most 2 semester internships only after completing their first year. Though the internship is not part of their academic curriculum but in their two-year program, they may do the research work in the industry as per the regulations of the institute. The internship programme of PG students should be research and development oriented and not viewed as the internship programme as undergraduate. Therefore, M.Tech students can do their internship subject to the approval of supervisors followed by DPGC.
The company shall fill up the Internship Announcement Form (IAF) or fill up a physical copy and submit it to the Training and Placement Cell (TPC). The IAF serves to introduce to the candidate’s internship profile, company's requirements, stipend, accommodation benefits etc. Any changes in the filled IAF must be notified by the organisation to the TPC via email.
The relevant information in IAF received is electronically broadcasted to the concerned students along with all the other relevant information furnished by the company via email.
The company can ask resumes of interested students and shortlist at any stage of the intern selection process.
The company will be allotted dates (Placement Calendar) for conducting Pre–Placement-Talk (PPT)/Written-Test/Online-Test/Interview, with a request to confirm the same by a specified date. On failing to do so, the allotted date may be given to other companies. Requests for the change of the date can be entertained subject to its availability.
The company should conduct a written test/Online-Test/GD/Interview, as part of their intern selection procedure, during the scheduled time slot notified by the TPC. The selection results are not to be disclosed to the students and are to be submitted to the TPC in a sealed envelope or communicated by email to tpo@iitbhu.ac.in. Students with multiple offers (due to the possibility of multiple companies visiting on the same day) will be generally required to finalise their option and inform TPC by 12:00 hours of the next working day. The students’ choice would be informed to the concerned companies. However, in some cases where the company is looking for this information urgently, the concerned students will be informed electronically to exercise their option early. To counter the loss in the number of offers due to dropout, the company is advised to prepare a waitlist of students in order of their merit. Any dropout from the main list will enable movement of the waitlisted candidates to the list of selected candidates in the same order as communicated by the company. The company will be informed of the same.
The student(s) shortlisted may not be available for the interview as a student may opt out of your company because the students are allowed to appear in the interview of any 2 companies in a single slot. TPC will provide a comprehensive list of such students to the company before its scheduled slot. For this reason, Companies are advised to maintain an extended list of shortlisted students to have makeup against the dropout. It will help to choose the right candidate from a sizable lot. It shall be appreciated if such a list is communicated to us early to avoid last minute hassles to be experienced by the companies.
The company must communicate any changes in the stipend to the cell well before the actual internship process, if done so, the company will have to accept the newly allocated dates for their interviews and conduct the process on a mutually agreeable date. If the company changes the stipend in between or after the interview process, the student will have the right to decline the internship offer.
The Institute follows the 'One- Student- One- Internship' policy. As an exception to the ‘One-Student-One-Internship’ policy, students who have obtained research internships for the same term will have the right to decline corporate internships acquired via the Training and Placement Cell, similarly, a student will also be able to decline a research/academic internship for a corporate one.
The company is required to send offer letters to the TPC, which will then hand them over to the concerned students. Such letters, hard or soft copy, are expected to reach the TPC before March 31, 2027.
On successful completion of Internships, companies are encouraged to offer PPOs (Pre Placement Offers) to the students. PPOs offered by the company are to be intimated to the TPC. The students will have the liberty of accepting or rejecting the PPO. The concerned student will express their choice to TPC within two working days of receiving the PPO. If the candidate accepts the PPO offer, then the candidate will not be allowed to participate in any further on-campus placement activity. As an exception to this, a student with PPO can appear for the placement procedure of a PSU/Government undertaking. The opportunity to sit in another company will be rarely provided by the TPC and only in exceptional cases after having the permission of the Coordinator of the TPC.
In the best interest of the company, it is advised to send the list of PPOs by 15th August 2026, to prevent the potential students from participating in any on-campus placement activity.
The companies are advised to inform the Training and Placement Cell (TPC) if they have extended an internship offer to a student through any off-campus activity. Additionally, they should specify whether the student has accepted the offer or not. If the offer is accepted, the student will not be allowed to sit for any further on-campus internship process.
The company must provide offers to the waitlisted candidates as against the number of dropouts from the main list, if the waiting list is issued and provided to the cell.
If a company violates any of the above-mentioned policies, they are liable to face due action at the discretion of the Coordinator of the Training and Placement Cell.
Any company that revokes an Intern offer unconditionally shall be subject to suitable actions for the following internship season. In the event that the Intern offer is subsequently reinstated, the company shall be demoted to a later recruitment slot in the following year. Any company that revokes an offer on the grounds that a student does not meet certain eligibility criteria that were not specified in the Job Description (JD) or in any prior written communications with the Placement Team shall be demoted to a later recruitment slot in the following year. Background verification and physical fitness tests are excluded from this provision and may be cited as grounds for revocation without attracting any penalty, regardless of prior disclosure. In the event that such an offer is reinstated, no consequences shall apply. Any company found to have a persistent history of revoking internship offers shall be reported to the All IIT Placement Committee (AIPC) to take suitable actions against the company across all IITs.
