Kolkata: A fourth-year computer science engineering student at Jadavpur University, Upayan De (22), bagged a job worth Rs 1.5 crore per annum at Rubrik, a software company in Bengaluru.
In a first, this is also the highest domestic package received by a JU engineering graduate in recent times. Upayan, a resident of Salt Lake, joined the company on June 9.
"I did a six-month internship with this company from Jan and on May 27 received the job offer from them," said Upayan, adding, "I, along with some of my teammates, participated in an International Collegiate Programming Contest representing JU in our third year.
We reached the Asia West Continent finals. The talent hiring team of Rubrik then contacted some of the continent finalists for the internship."
De feels that studying computer science engineering at JU was the best decision. "I always wanted to study computer science engineering, but when my JEE Advanced results were declared, I saw that I was not getting computer science engineering at the top IITs. Therefore, I chose computer science engineering at JU.

I am indebted to my professors because their guidance helped me in cracking the interviews," said the alumnus of Don Bosco Park Circus and Haryana Vidya Mandir.
De pointed out, "JU is often highlighted in the media for its student politics. There is a notion that education has taken a back seat at JU, but it is not true. JU has several talented students. Academic learning and research is JU's strength. The university provides a brilliant launchpad to its students, and one has to utilise it in a positive way.
There is no alternative to hard work and perseverance. It all depends on how one uses the opportunity.
"
Upayan's mother Rupa is a homemaker, and his father Manish is a director of chemistry at the Geological Survey of India and is currently posted in Faridabad. "Without their support, I could not have come this far. From my childhood, I never had any intention of settling abroad. I have always wanted to stay and work in India. I don't want to move out of the country," he added.
Placement officer Samita Bhattacharya said, "This is the first time that a student has got such a huge domestic package."

Sovereign wealth funds infuse Rs 8,426 crore into India in FY25
New Delhi: India remained a strong magnet for long-term investors in FY25, with sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) infusing a net Rs 8,426 crore into the country, the Parliament was informed on Monday. The steady inflows underline global investors' confidence in India's growth story. In FY24, the funds had brought in a much higher Rs 47,604 crore, while FY23 had also witnessed solid inflows of Rs 15,446 crore, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha. The only exception came in FY22, when there was a net outflow of Rs 3,825 crore. Over the past few years, global sovereign and pension funds have shown sustained interest in India -- underlining its position as one of the most promising emerging markets. Among sectors, financial services attracted the highest inflows at Rs 28,562 crore between FY22 and FY25, followed by IT with Rs 19,135 crore, healthcare with Rs 7,830 crore and telecom with Rs 7,053 crore. These sectors reflect India's strength in technology, digital infrastructure, and healthcare innovation. Experts note that such steady inflows are significant as they represent patient, long-term capital that supports India's development journey. With the government pushing for reforms, infrastructure growth, and digital expansion, India is expected to remain an attractive destination for global funds in the years ahead. The Finance Minister said while FDI inflows from SWFs and pension funds are not separately tracked, their portfolio investments are monitored sector-wise. She added that the government has offered tax exemptions, regulatory relaxations, and eased FDI rules to attract long-term foreign investors. 'Currently, more than 95 per cent of FDI inflows come via the automatic route, with the Union Budget 2025 also raising the FDI cap in insurance to 100 per cent from 74 per cent,' FM Sitharaman noted.
