Avni Malhotra and Ramya R, two students of Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Sambalpur in Orissa, created history by nagging highest pay packages in campus placement.

Ramya R hails from Salem in Tamil Nadu and her parents are farms. “My parents did not even know what an IIM was when I got a seat. It took me some time to explain to them and convince them to let me go,” she said in an interview to Quint. 

Ramya studied literature and had marketing management as an extra subject during her graduation. According to Ramya R, her family was supportive of her decision to complete MBA.

Meanwhile, Avni Malhotra has completed her B.Tech from Jaipur's Jaypee University. Before joining IIM Sambalpur,Avni Malhotra had worked at Infosys. Avni’s mother is a school principal, while her father was a dentist.

Malhotra, based out of Jaipur, managed to secure the job after clearing six rounds of interviews, according to Times Now. As per reports, Malhotra got the position because of her prior experience of three years with Infosys and her 'organisational competence'.

Avni Malhotra is set to join Microsoft's Bengaluru office as a Product Manager in July.
