Dear Ashwini, I had been working in a private bank and got terminated on 6 Nov 23. Before I was terminated I got an appointment letter from another bank on 26 Oct 23 which I had conveyed to my reporting manager that I want to resign. He said to do it after he comes back from his leave and I waited. Suddenly I found there is an investigation started on my behalf and I was convicted for some transactions in my wife's account. I must tell you that I have 24 years of experience so far without any break and not even convicted once in my tenure nor got any HR warning so far in my tenure rather got many appreciations for my good works. So, I accepted the allegation saying that i borrowed the amount in a life threatening situation from 2 vendors of the bank and repaid them when my only sister met an accident and lost her life. I further requested the senior management to convert my termination to resignation and the HR told me the case has been considered as an appeal and has gone to the appellate authority for final decision. The approximate time they require is 4 weeks. Meanwhile they have cleared the severance pay for my notice period on the same day and cleared my gratuity as well. Now, the other company is asking me to share the resignation and acceptance of resignation which I don't have now because I didn't get time to resign and got the termination with a notice of 2 hours only on that day. So, how should I manage the case ?

Ans: Hi Sir/ Madam,

Sorry for the delay in reply

Few aspects you may consider

Send them the resignation email if you have one (email copy also should be ok)
An email which says your LWD (if you have one)
Consider having a legal advice on your rights
Provide the severance pay and gratuity documents to the new employer
Be honest and transparent (fully acknowledging the new employer may revoke the offer. Be prepared). Include details about the termination, the appeal process, and the steps you are taking to address the situation and express your commitment to resolving the matter and your eagerness to join once it is resolved.
Provide references
Prepare yourself for the worst scenario and work on the prepare how to address the termination during interviews.
Maintain professional with both the current and the new employer. Be in control on yourself and your emotions.

All the best.

Thanks

Hello Sir/Madam, This has been a practice of my company to delay the Full & Final settlement for employees who resign from the company. The final settlement along with the experience letters will be received after almost 2 months of leaving the organisation. This is the case with normal employees who serve three months notice period. These 2 months are very chaotic as the new company keeps requesting for the experience letters. There is no specific reason cited by the organisation for the delay in making the settlement. Sometimes the reasons seem petty. As a manager, I know this is wrong but I was helpless. 3 months back, our organisation had laid off many employees including me. They informed us that we will be getting three months salary as severance pay. The first two months were credited on time i.e 1st of each month. However, the third month payment has been stopped. They informed us it will be settled with the F&F settlement. There were no timelines mentioned to us. There is no letter issued to us - Neither laptop acceptance or resignation acceptance. I am getting job offers but they expect a firm date for joining along with the experience letters. I am not in position to furnish them these details. What can I do in this case? The company that I worked for is a BSE listed firm with strong financials.
Ans: Dear

I can understand your situation. What ai would suggest is better open and transparent with your potential employer, show them your resignation letter and the salary credited. I am sure they will appreciate.

All the best.

Hello sir , my son got 31000 rank in jee mains and 17000 in jee advance , he has cleared AAT and as per mock round 1 he is getting BArch in IIT ROORKEE now we are confused should we keep this option or put other option like mechanical in nit kurukshetra, delhi , Hamirpur or IIIT UNA cse etc on top above it....how is the scope and atmosphere of IIT roorkee barch
Ans: Based on the latest placement data and institutional comparisons, IIT Roorkee’s B.Arch offers near-universal placement rates (90–100%) with recruiters like Microsoft, J.P. Morgan, and L&T, supported by interdisciplinary training in sustainability, smart cities, and heritage conservation. While Mechanical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra (86% placement), NIT Delhi (75–85%), and NIT Hamirpur (98.06%) provide stable core-sector outcomes, roles are often restricted to manufacturing/automotive sectors, necessitating self-driven upskilling for IT transitions. IIIT Una’s CSE reports declining placement rates (61% in 2024 vs. 87% in 2023) despite higher demand for software roles, raising reliability concerns. IIT Roorkee’s **#1 NIRF Architectureanking, DGCA-recognized labs, and global research collaborations provide unmatched academic rigor and sectoral diversity, though architectural careers demand specific passion. Prioritize IIT Roorkee B.Arch for institutional prestige and placement assurance if inclined toward design/urban planning; opt for NIT Mechanical only if core engineering aligns with long-term goals, acknowledging the need for supplementary coding skills. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
