A Delhi Technological University (DTU) student has received a job offer with an annual salary of INR 1.25 crore from US based taxi app Uber.
This is the second-highest offer received by a student at DTU ever.In 2015,Google hired a student for an annual salary of INR 1.27 crore.
Sidharth,a computer science engineering student, has been offered the position of a software engineer at the San Francisco office of Uber and the salary includes basic pay and other benefits. Sidharth’s basic pay package is Rs 71 lakh,which goes up to Rs 1.25 crore with other benefits.
“I had actually done a seven-week internship with Uber earlier. So this is a pre-placement offer that I have received. Along with me, I think there is someone from one of the IITs,” Sidharth told Hindustan Times.
“From the beginning, I wanted to do computer science engineering and with my score I was not getting the subject at any of the IITs. Moreover, I love Delhi and did not want to move from here,” he added.
Sidharth is not the only success story from DTU as university officials said the quantum of offers made to students was also steadily rising. In the past,students have been offered Rs. 70 lakh per annum by software firm EPIC,Rs.28 lakh by bankers Goldman Sachs and Rs.19 lakh by Amazon.
“We already have 1050 offers from different companies. Around 200 companies have already visited the college and more in the line,” said RS Walia,head training and placement of DTU told Hindustan Times.
