Jadavpur University student bags Rs 1.8 crore job at Facebook in London
A final year student of Kolkata’s top-ranked Jadavpur University has bagged a job with an annual pay package of Rs 1.8 crore from Facebook. Bisakh Mondal, a fourth-year student of computer science, has accepted the job with the highest pay package this year.
Bisakh Mondal comes from a modest background family of Rampurhat, Birbhum. His father is a farmer and his mother is an Anganwadi worker. Their son has made them proud.
JOINING FACEBOOK IN SEPTEMBER
Bisakh will join his workplace in London in September.
He told India Today, “I will join Facebook in September. Before accepting this job, I got offers from Google and Amazon. I thought choosing Facebook would be best as the pay package offered by them was high.”
“Naturally, my parents are very happy,” he added.
PROFESSORS LAUD SUCCESS
Professors of JU are overwhelmed by the success of their student.
Bishak said, “My professors are really happy. I also spoke to them personally and met some of them after I bagged the job offer.”
Previously, nine JU students from various engineering departments had secured overseas jobs with pay packages exceeding Rs 1 crore, sources said.
Bishak said he is planning to fly to London very soon. All preparations are underway.
