Himanshu Jindal, a fourth year student of Department of Computer Engineering, has been offered a salary of about $ 115,000 and 125 Google Stock Units (totaling Rs 93 lakh) by the company. "This is the highest- ever salary package offered to any DTU student. The highest annual package last year was Rs 58 lakh," said an official.  A resident of Mansa in Punjab, Jindal had to clear a detailed written test and four rounds of interview at Google's Bangalore office earlier this month before he was shortlisted for the much coveted job.

 "Google had visited our campus in August for a pre- placement talk. I then sat for the written tests and was shortlisted along with seven other students. Then followed four grueling sessions of personal interview comprising mainly questions on coding, technical and design," Jindal had said. "While I tried giving my best during the interview, I was not sure if I would be selected. The results came on September 13." While his B. Tech degree will get over in May next year, Jindal will join Google at their US office in October 2014.

The boy's parents and his two elder sisters are also extremely happy over the development. Jindal's father is a businessman based in Mansa, while his mother is a housewife. His both sisters are lecturers in a college in Punjab. He completed his schooling from Mansa.

The placements at DTU started from August 1 this year and over 40 companies have visited the varsity so far. As many as 265 students have already been placed. The DTU authorities say that besides offering jobs to final year students, several of these companies are also offering paid internships to third year students. Earlier this month, EPIC, a US- based software company, had offered a pay package of about $ 1,05,000 (Rs 70 Lakh) to 11 students.
