Breaking records!

By securing such a high placement, Nishant has broken all the placement records of his institute. Last year, the highest package was INR 42 LPA in the computer science and engineering department. NIT Hamirpur Director Prof. Lalit Awasthi congratulated Nishant Hada and his parents for their son’s great achievement and wished him to achieve more heights in his future endeavors. He also said that Nishant’s achievement will be a source of inspiration for many other students of the college.

But you would be wondering about how exactly he got such a high package? Let’s see the relevant details. 

How did he secure an offer of INR 1.51 Cr?

Due to the new education policy, NIT Hamirpur allows students to do internships with dissertation work (and in the future, the institute is planning to allow students for a one-semester internship in the industry). All of this turned out to be very helpful for Nishant’s selection.

In 2020, Nishant applied for Bloomberg Internship at their Pune Office. The company conducted five online interviews before selecting him, which definitely indicates the level of preciseness in their selection. During his internship stint from 31st May to 6th August 2021, the executives were super impressed and thus, selected him for their London Office. But, Nishant wanted New York as his first preference. So, after negotiations, he was able to get New York as his job location. 

It is also interesting to note that Nishant has done three more internships in the top universities of the world - Princeton, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of Alberta. So, his hard work is clearly evident from the past work that helped him to secure a great package!
