INTRODUCTION

The Placement Cell witnessed an incredibly successful placement season in the academic
year 2022-23 which saw the participation of companies across domains such as Finance,
Consulting, FMCG, HR, and Research and Public Policy.

One of the key elements on the basis of which the students are shortlisted by our corporate
partners is the Cumulative Vitae (CVs) of the students. To enable a fair and just
recruitment process for all the students of LSR, it is extremely crucial that the CVs
submitted by the students are authentic and contain information backed by relevant
documents and proof.

Following our experience with the CV Vetting process in the previous recruitment seasons,
we realized that students had grievances about specific elements of the Vetting process
and the relevant reasoning for the same.
We therefore consider it extremely important that the Student Body is aware about all the
elements of the CV Vetting process to avoid ambiguity during the process. It would also be
in the interest of the larger student body to know the relevant documents and data they
should keep in hand with themselves in order to get their CVs properly vetted by the Cell.

This manual contains guidance about the process to be followed for each element of the
CVs along with the documentation proof that students would be required to submit.

We also understand that some of the procedures or details mentioned in the manual might
require justification or reasoning which might not be stated in the manual, and so, in an
effort to address any grievances of the students regarding the process, the students are
free to write their concerns at placements@lsr.edu.in or can connect with:

vetted?

The record of the final vetted CVs will be kept with the Placement Cell and only the
same would be sent to the recruiters.

3. What would be the consequence if I do not get my CV vetted?

CV vetting is an essential pre-condition for applying to any companies through the

Placement Cell. In case a student fails to get their CVs vetted by the timeline
shared by the Cell, they would not be eligible to apply for the company.

5. What if I wish to have multiple variants of CVs (for different profiles)?

The students are allowed to maintain only one variant of their CV.

6. Can I make changes in my CV in the future?

The students can make changes with respect to CGPA only, with sufficient proof
being provided as shared by the Cell. Any other changes, would not be allowed.

In case a student wishes to make any changes to their CVs after the CV vetting
process is over, an email must be sent to the following ID:
placements@lsr.edu.in

Kindly note:

necessary proof to verify the same. The decision of the Placement Cell shall remain
final and binding.

9. Can I write my SGPA score instead of CGPA?

No, the students cannot use a particular SGPA score instead of cumulative CGPA
since the same would lead to non-uniformity among the students with regards to
their results. Therefore, the student is strictly supposed to use 'CGPA' arrived by
using the mentioned formula.

10. My CGPA is 9.56789, can I write it as 9.6?

No, the student cannot round off her CGPA and has to write it to the minimum of
two decimal points i.e. you can write it as 9.56.

In case of any confusion/doubt with respect to treatment of any

achievement/title mentioned in the CV, kindly drop an e-mail at
placements@lsr.edu.in so that a conclusive and mutually
agreeable decision can be arrived at timely.
