Prof. Vijya, the chairperson of the Faculty Academic Committee (FAC), was trying to understand the implications of decisions taken by the Student Placement Committee (SPC) on placement issues.
It was alleged that Biswajit, a final year student, inflated his grades in his bio-data that was sent to the recruiters. The President of SPC requested the FAC to debar Biswajit from the campus recruitment process. When the matter was brought up for discussion in FAC, one of theprofessors remarked that Biswajit too should be allowed to defend himself. When Biswajit arrived for the meeting the situation became even more challenging.
Biswajit raised the issue that many other students who had misrepresented grades to get coveted jobs had gone scot-free. He alleged that these students were close to the President of SPC and therefore, no action was taken against them. He stated that somebody has deliberately manipulated his grades in the bio-data.
This allegation confused the members and it was decided to adjourn the meeting. Vijya was to decide on the next course of action.
As a potential entrant you are having an informal Facebook chat with one of the college seniors. You wanted to know about the pay packages of the graduating students. The senior replied that one will be able to understand this only after joining the college. He did not reveal any information but suggested that it is not very difficult to get a high salary job as you have already started networking. He also cautioned that you should not believe any rumors and you should directly contact the student body for any further information. What will be your most appropriate choice for seeking further information about placements?
On being asked about information regarding pay packages of graduating students, the senior does not reveal much information and rather cautions you not to believe in any sort of rumors. He also said that for any further information the college authorities should be contacted directly. Thus option B presents the most suitable course of action for seeking further information about placements. Option A is incorrect because the senior has already warned you that believing in rumors will do you no good. The information that you get by networking with students may not be authentic. Option C can be eliminated because contacting the HR managers is beyond the purview of discussion held between the potential entrant and the senior. Option D is incorrect because the senior has advised to contact the student body and not any individual representing the body. Approaching the President directly may not prove to be of any help. Option E is negated for the same reason as option A.
