Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata Placement Details

Students of the M.S.QE (Kolkata), M. Stat (Kolkata), M. Tech. CS (Kolkata), M. Tech. QROR (Kolkata), MS QMS (Hyderabad) and PGDCA (Giridih) courses, passing out in June - July 2017, are eligible for placement.

Dates:

• There is no separate placement window. The placement starts from August and runs until February - March of the next year. Placement is not conducted during examination period and semester break.

• We invite one company per day in our campus. We prefer to and try to invite companies offering higher salary (fixed component of the cost to company) earlier. 

• In spite of our effort to make sure that the higher paying jobs are offered to the students earlier, it may not be possible always. In the effort of keeping offer rejections low as well as providing students better opportunities, we allow a student to sit for another job interview only if the new job offers a salary more than the previous job (s)he has already got by a significant margin. This margin is a fixed margin internal to our committee.

• In case a student gets a PPO, the above rule does not apply. The student has to accept or reject the PPO within two days of receiving the offer with salary details. However, if the student accepts a PPO, then it is considered to be a job obtained via placement and any other offer received before would be cancelled. Whether the student can sit for any further interview would be determined by the previous rule.
• The companies are requested to make a ranked waiting list of students apart from the selected list so that if a selected student get another offer (as per the above rules) we can automatically fill the position from the waiting list in the order and inform the student as well as the company.

• Companies interested in conducting campus recruitment are requested to send the duly filled-in Campus Recruitment Form (ISI-CRF), preferably with relevant company literature, by email to the Placement Committee (plccom@isical.ac.in). This provides the primary basis for communicating the details of the positions offered to the students.

• Based on the feedback from the students and other institute activities, a mutually convenient date for the company visit is discussed and finalised.

• Please note: Unlike several other institutes, there is no day zero in our process. Since we can invite only one company in a day, not every company can be the first or within the first 2-3 companies in the campus.

• Companies will be assigned only one day for the complete recruitment process and they have to declare the final list of selected students at the end of the day. Please submit the results using your result declaration form or send the results via email from the company official id to our plccom@isical.ac.in id.

• Company delegates requiring ISI Guest House accommodation need to inform the Placement Committee (plccom@isical.ac.in) as soon as the travel plans are finalised. However, at certain times of the year, the guest house may be full. In such cases, the companies will have to arrange their accommodation independently.

• Campus recruitment by placement consultants or third-party recruiters is not organised by us.

• Detailed offer letter may be sent to the Convener, Placement Committee for distribution among the selected students. The Convener will coordinate in sending back letters of acceptance to the employer from students.

• Students will join the companies only after the completion of their respective courses; usually towards the end of July in 2017. The date of joining should preferably be within one month from the official date of completion of the respective course.
