Chennai : Puranjay Mohan, a student of SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST) has been given an offer from Amazon Germany for a Software development role. This was announced by founder chancellor of SRMIST T R Paarivendhar at a press meet held at Ramada Plaza Chennai, Guindy.
Honouring the student with the Illustrious Student Award, Paarivendhar said, “Success of Puranjay will be a role model for others. He is a worthy student of SRMIST. Any university/institution will be taken to a higher level only through its students and Puranjay will be a good example. What is unique is that he is not from a computer student branch but from Electronic and Instrumentation.”
Pro Chancellor (Academics) P Sathyanarayanan said, “Last year, two of our students were placed for Rs.50 lakhs each and this year the highest offer is Rs.1 Crore. It is a very proud moment for SRMIST as its students from non-csc (computer science) branch are also getting placed well this season. This is the highest offer made in any private university in India. Vice chancellor C Muthamizhchelvan, registrar S Ponnusamy and director (career centre) Venkata Sastry were also present during the meet.
