Visualize next generation concepts: Karnati Sriram, IIT Bombay (An amazing 80 Lakhs Job offer from Samsung)

High salary package of 80 lakhs in unbelievable. Joining in IIT Mumbai and getting this kind of offer are like a dream to me. Yahoo, Google, Facebook and Samsung came for campus placements, but I showed interest in Samsung. After my success at the interview, much to my astonishment Samsung offered 80 lakhs. My parents were very happy on my Job offer.

Obtained 951 marks in Intermediate:
My father is an employee in Treasury department in Nalgonda. My mother is a homemaker. I studied from first to eighth in Nalgonda, ninth, and 10th in Goutham concept school in Krishna Dist. I got 91% marks in 10th and 951 marks in intermediate.

Fond of Maths:
I was fond of Maths since childhood. Due to my love towards Math, I took Engineering as a career option. Along with Math out of interest, I used to gather information on Computer Technology and Robotics. I made up my mind in my Inter first year itself to join Computer Science in IIT Bombay. I put all my efforts in the IIT-JEE and secured 55th rank with 360 marks and succeeded in getting seat in IIT Mumbai.

Grilled me on my education background:
I came to know that Samsung is one of the participating companies in the placements and then sent my resume online. Accordingly, they picked me to attend the interview. Samsung representatives, four of them interviewed me for an hour. In technical round, they asked my internship and project work. They focused mainly on the issues mentioned in my resume. They did grill me on my education background. In HR round, they enquired on my willingness in case of working in a foreign branch, about Samsung and its products and my higher education pursuit. I did ask them on the job nature and flexibility. I was offered Job at America or South Korea when I complete my B.Tech in July 2013.

Pursue Masters at Stanford:
As I already informed the company of my interest to pursue Masters in Stanford or MIT, they agreed to give me assistance to complete my Post graduation. I wish to join in Stanford or MIT.

Logical and Technical skills:
The branch in engineering doesn’t matter in the campus placements, the companies judge the student on his aptness to the Job. Regarding Technical skills, the student's awareness on the new technology is assessed. As far as CSE branch is concerned, Data Structures, Algorithm, Core concepts, and logical thinking are tested. Companies at the first instance filter the students on the education background of the student.

Visualise next generation concepts:
One should have good grip on the B.Tech subjects and follow analytical approach while studying the syllabus. During campus placements, gather information on the participating company. Regarding branch, latest updates on technology and visualisation of next generation concepts is required for success in the placements.

Clarity on your goal:
We should be clear on our approach towards our goal. We cannot choose our goal based on other's decisions. We should have clarity on our goal while joining Engineering. Toppers in IIT-JEE choose IIT Mumbai for its good campus placements history when compared to other IITs. Keep improving your technical knowledge and language skills for a bright career.
