Placement Assistance
We provide 100% placement assistance to all our students. However, please note
that
students are required to successfully clear the interviews to secure a job. While we offer
extensive support and resources, we do not guarantee employment, as final hiring decisions
are made by the employers based on individual performance in the interviews.
After Placement
Fee Structure: Edvoc Academy will collect a placement fee equivalent to 10% of
the student's first
salary, provided they have been placed through Edvoc Academy’s placement assistance services. This
fee applies only if the student’s monthly salary is ₹10,000 or more.
-
Payment Timeline: The student is required to pay 10% of their first salary
within three (3)
days of receiving their salary from the company they are employed with.
-
Income Sharing Agreement (ISA): Before attending any job interview arranged
through
EdvocAcademy’s placement assistance, the student must sign an Income Sharing Agreement
(ISA), agreeing to the terms of the after-placement fee.
Exemptions
-
No placement fee will be charged by Edvoc Academy for internships secured
through
our
placement assistance.
-
If the student secures a placement independently, without Edvoc Academy's
assistance, no
placement fee will be applicable.
Example: Step-by-step Breakdown:
Rahul's Salary: After being placed at ABC Technologies through Edvoc Academy,
Rahul receives
his first salary of ₹25,000 on the 30th of the month.
-
10% Fee Calculation: Since Rahul's monthly salary is above the ₹10,000
threshold, he is
required to pay 10% of his first salary to Edvoc Academy.
-
10% of ₹25,000 = ₹2,500.
-
Payment Due Date: Rahul must transfer ₹2,500 to Edvoc Academy within three
(3) days of
receiving his salary, i.e., by the 3rd of the following month.
Note: If Rahul had secured the position at ABC Technologies independently (without Edvoc
Academy’s placement assistance), or if he was earning less than ₹10,000, he would not be
required to pay any placement fee.
Reapplication for Placement
If a student voluntarily leaves a job secured through Edvoc Academy’s placement
assistance for reasons
unrelated to the hiring company (e.g., personal reasons), and requests placement with a new company, they
will be required to wait a period of three (3) months before becoming eligible for further placement assistance.
This policy reflects the value of the initial opportunity, which could have been offered to another student.
Course Switching
We offer course switching if the student has completed less than 25% of the
purchased course.
However, if more than 25% of the course is completed, switching is not allowed, as 25% is deemed
sufficient to assess the course content.
Equipment Policy
No laptops or systems will be provided by Edvoc Academy during the internship
program.
Mock Interviews
Candidates seeking placement assistance through Edvoc Academy must successfully
complete all
mandatory mock interviews. Placement assistance will only be offered upon the successful clearance
of these interviews. This condition is mandatory and non-negotiable.
Revision of Terms
We reserve the right to revise these terms at any time without notice.
Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and disputes will be subject to
the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of Ernakulam, Kerala.
