This creates a lot of pressure on them. Therefore, the placement committee wants to restrict the number of placement companies coming to the campus each day. They want to spread out the span of placements in a phased manner, instead of jostling all the companies, the official stated further.
Event the blacklisted start-ups will get a chance to take part in the campus interviews from the next academic session. However, they will have to give a valid explanation and reason for withdrawing job offers in 2015-16. Once the committee gets a satisfactory response, the committee may waive the bar. These companies may be called to one of the meetings of AIPC for clarifications. In August 2016, AIPC had blacklisted around 30 firms from joining the recruitment process due to the withdrawal of offers and appointments.
