When Rashi Bagga, a BTech student at the International Institute of Information Technology Naya Raipur (IIIT-NR), accepted a job offer earlier this year that included a mind-blowing salary package of Rs 85 lakh annually, she broke prior records.
As a result, in 2023, she will get the largest compensation package ever provided to an IIIT-NR student.
PERSISTENCE AND PREVIOUS PLACEMENTS PAY OFF
Bagga decided not to savor her success since she already had a generous offer from another company. She continued to attend further interviews since she was eager to show her mettle in the job market and eventually succeeded in receiving this record-breaking offer, according to an IIIT media coordinator.
Before achieving this outstanding feat, Bagga worked as a software developer intern at Amazon and an SDE intern at Intuit in Bengaluru. She has been offering her skills to Atlassian as a Product Security Engineer since July 2023.
Chinky Karda, a classmate at IIIT-NR, held the record earlier after receiving a package worth Rs 57 lakh annually from the same organization the previous year.
Yogesh Kumar, a different student, was offered a good salary of Rs 56 lakh annually for a position in software development with a large corporation.

The COVID-19 pandemic prevented another IIIT-NR student, Ravi Kushashwa, from accepting a remarkable Rs 1 million per year offer from a major multinational in 2020.
The placement rate at IIIT-NR has been 100% for five years running. The institute’s average Cost To Company (CTC) for this year’s cohort was amended to Rs 16.5 lakh per year, with a median CTC of Rs 13.6 lakh per year, as Bagga’s placement established a new standard.
