Faculty.

Phase 1 Project Details & Objectives: The project for this course runs in three phases. This
document provides you with guidelines for the Phase 1 part of the project. This is a group
project. Each group will get an organization from a particular industry with details of its past
data, current information and future plans. The organization will closely resemble
organizations in the real world. Based on the details provided, student groups will have to
arrive at solutions for the given people processes.

The objectives of this Phase 1 of the project are to:

1. Create a detailed Job Description and Job Specification for a Key Role in the
organization.
2. Design an end-to-end Selection Process for the same key role.
In order to achieve the above objectives, groups will first read the case given to them, then
gather primary and secondary data from the specific industry for the key role mentioned in
the case. Students are required to maintain audio files of interviews with industry
professionals (Faculty may randomly ask groups to submit audio files) and qualitative
transcripts of interviews (to be attached as annexures). Also provide contact details and proof
of interaction with the industry professionals (an email from them). Please ask for permission
from the Interviewee before recording the conversation.

Report Format: The report must be left-flushed, double-spaced, in Times New Roman font
of size 12. It should include these sections:

1. Cover Page: Include Group Number, Student Names and Roll Nos. in ascending
order.
2. Job Description and Job Specification for the key role.
3. End-to-end Selection Process for the key role: Provide a detailed description of the
selection process with the selection methods that will be used and the sequence in
which they will be used. Elaborate on your chosen selection method/s, explain how it
will be conducted and provide a sample item. Also, provide a justification for each
selection method and explain which critical competencies from the JD & JS it will
assess for the key role.
4. References
5. Annexures: See project details above to determine what to put in annexures.
6. Plagiarism report: Please run your report through an online trusted Plagiarism
software and submit a plagiarism report as an annexure. Similarity index in the
plagiarism report should be less than 10%.
Evaluation Criteria: A detailed description of each criterion and the distribution of marks is
provided in the accompanying rubric.

 Adequate Detail and accurate identification of responsibilities, qualifications and

competencies of the key role.
 Appropriate selection process involving accurate identification and explanation of
selection methods, sequencing of selection methods and accurate mapping of
selection methods with critical competencies identified in the JD & JS.

Note:
 5 marks will be deducted on account of late submission.
 Submissions 2 hours beyond the deadline will not be accepted.
 Any form of cheating or plagiarism is unacceptable. If discovered, such reports will
get a zero and the students will be referred to the Disciplinary Committee.
 Please don’t make your own assumptions. For any doubts, always check with your
faculty before proceeding.
