• Communication with the Placement Committee
By and large, the students’ Placement Committee serves as a representative of the students and a link between the students and Placement Cell. General queries, applications to companies and other follow up should be routed through the class Placement Committee.

• Communication with Placement Committee
It is advisable to go through the Placement notice board and official social platforms every day, especially during placement season, in order to avoid missing any important notices and updates.
- All-important announcements shall be made on the Placement Notice board and also via Official Social Platforms.

• Prompt follow-up

• Leveraging on Alumni presence
Students are advised to be in touch with the Sanjivani alumni who are working with companies, where students seek employment opportunities. It is advisable to meet and interact with such alumni right from the beginning of the year, rather than towards the placement period only.
- The Institute provides several occasions and opportunities for students to interact with alumni. Many a time, Sanjivani alumni may be a part of the company’s selection panel during placements.

• Making the most of Summer and other Internships
A summer internship or a short-term project with a company is in most cases your best bet to create an impact and win yourself a Pre-Placement Offer. The 2-month internship if done well has the potential to enhance your career.
