The first international placement in the 82-year history of Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, an M-Tech student has received an offer of $100,000 (Rs 62.7 lakh) from Google. "This is also the highest salary offered to any of our students till date," says Pradipta Bandyopadhyay, dean of students, ISI. The student who received the offer is a 24-year-old fresher pursuing his Master of Technology in Computer Science. Although the college was reluctant to disclose company's name, a placement team member said it was Google.
"Last year, 43 companies came to our campus and the average was Rs 12 lakh. This year, the average should be around Rs 14 lakh (excluding the international offer) and we expect more than 50 firms," says a placement official who also added that the minimum salary offer accepted is around Rs 8 lakh for the 2014 batch.
