If you think that IIT students do not receive hefty pay packages as B-School pass outs, think again. Social networking biggy Facebook has made an offer of about Rs. 70 lakh per annum to IIT student during the campus placement.
IIT-K registrar Sanjeev Kashelkar said, "M Tech (computer science and engineering) student Siddharth Agrawal has been offered the package (near about Rs 70 lakh)."
He said Facebook has offered many lucrative offers to other students as well but the one which it offered to Agarwal is highest so far. But the registrar, however, did not disclose the actual amount. Last week, Facebook had offered a similar package to an IIT-Kharagpur student.
The placement session in the IIT took off on 2nd December, 2011 with more than 950 graduates and post graduates competing for jobs in high-profile companies like Microsoft, GE, Infosys and TCS.
On the first day of placement, more than 100 students were placed with 15 students being selected by Microsoft. More than 400 students have been selected so far since the placement process started, the registrar added.
Almost 200 companies are expected to visit the institute to hire aspirants in the remaining days. The placement session would end on 22nd December.
