The Indian Institute of Information and Technology (IIIT) in Lucknow has awarded a student the institute’s highest-ever annual package of Rs 1.2 crore. Amazon has employed Abhijeet Dwivedi as a software development engineer in Dublin, Ireland.
Setting a new record
With his astonishing yearly package, Abhijeet, who is in his final year of B.Tech in Information Technology, has shattered all prior placement records. Soft talents, according to the Prayagraj native, helped him ace the interview.
Not just technical but also work on enhancing soft skills
He told that, “I watched various videos to prepare myself for the interview.” “Soft skills are extremely important, thus engineering graduates should not believe that they only require technical knowledge.” “Body language and communication skills are also key,” he continued.
A healthy advice to all job seekers
Abhijeet also offered some advice to fellow graduates looking for work. “To get a decent job, one should work on specific things.” Make relationships, such as maintaining in touch with seniors to learn about career prospects and getting interview pointers from them,” he suggested. He also recommended that students develop profiles on well-known job boards that are routinely updated with fresh job postings.
100% placement.
This has been a memorable year for IIIT-Lucknow, not just because of Abhijeet’s record-breaking Amazon pay, but also because the institute was able to place all of its students. Sixty-one students were placed, with four opting for further education.
Average annual salary package this year
Furthermore, the average annual salary package this year was Rs 26 lakh, which was greater than prior years. According to Dr. Arun Mohan Sherry, director of IIIT-Lucknow, the maximum salary package until last year was roughly Rs 40 lakh. “This demonstrates that we are on the right track,” he remarked.
