Achieving his desired salary package was not an easy feat for Rohit. He wasn’t the most studious student in his class, and his grades in both high school and college were average. Even after graduating, he faced challenges in finding employment. Rohit revealed that only WIPRO used to recruit candidates from his college with a package of Rs 3.5 lakh. “There were many students in the college, but opportunities were limited,” Rohit stated.
Rohit’s hard work paid off when he scored a decent grade on the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), which enabled him to secure admission into IIT Guwahati. With his unwavering determination and diligent efforts, Rohit was able to change his fate. In 2020, around one lakh students appeared for the GATE exam, and Rohit secured a rank of 202, a remarkable achievement.
As per media reports, Rohit’s impressive GATE score helped him secure admission to pursue an MTech degree at IIT Guwahati. After receiving a staggering salary package worth Rs 2 crore from Uber, Rohit has been working as a software engineer at the company for the past 11 months. In addition to this, he also runs a YouTube channel where he shares valuable insights and guidance with students regarding GATE and placements.
