Rishi Bagga, a name you'll soon be hearing a lot more of, made history as an alumnus of the International Institute of Information Technology Naya Raipur (IIIT-NR). He scored a jaw-dropping annual package of INR 85 lakhs in 2023 – a record-breaking feat for the institute. Interestingly, Rishi had earlier turned down an attractive offer from another company to pursue better opportunities and land this blockbuster package.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Rishi's resume boasts an impressive internship at Amazon as a software developer. Now, he's thriving in his role as a Product Security Engineer at Atlassian.
Rishi isn't the only star student from IIIT-NR. The same company offered INR 57 lakhs to another student, Chinky Karda, marking the highest placement in her batch in 2022. Yet another student, Yogesh Kumar, bagged an impressive INR 56 lakh annual package for a software development engineer role with a multinational company.
Going back to 2020, IIIT-NR witnessed an astonishing offer of INR 1 crore per annum, offered to Ravi Kushashwa. Unfortunately, due to disruptive times caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, he couldn't join. For the current graduating batch, IIIT-NR reported an average Cost to Company (CTC) of INR 16.5 lakh per annum, with a median CTC of INR 13.6 lakh per annum.
