Mangaluru: Two students of the country’s premier technical institute NIT-K,
Surathkal have been offered the
Google India’s highest salary package per annum. It’s the highest salary package (Rs 34.1 lakh per annum) in the history of this institution and as well as the region.
Anand Rao H and
Mohit Reddy are both students of the department of computer science. They did three months internships with Google at Hyderabad and Zurich.
Anand, a resident of Kavoor, is the BTech topper and also got the highest salary package from Uber (Rs 36.6 lakh per annum). He declined the offer and will join Google in Poland.
He added: “My journey to explore Google started with the internship and later attended the pre-placement interview. It included two rounds of technical interviews on data structure and algorithms. It was followed by a project interview and led to my selection.”
Mohit Reddy of Bengaluru said the internship at Zurich last year gave him an edge. “Earlier, I was interested in startups but after interning at Google, I learnt a lot about the company and fell in love with it,” he said, adding that he was pre-placed in the company after he passed two technical rounds and went for an interview recently. He’ll be working on Google Cloud Infrastructure in Poland. “Google was happy with my previous projects and it helped a lot,” he added.
