Placement record was rewritten at IIIT Prayagraj when final-year B.Tech student Vipul Jain secured a stunning ₹1.45 crore per annum job offer from US-based cloud data company Rubrik. The offer is the highest ever in the history of the institute and has brought national attention to the rising success of India’s premier technology institutions.
Jain’s placement has been hailed as a proud milestone for IIIT Prayagraj. Speaking on the achievement, the institute’s Director, Prof. Mukul Sharad Sutawane, remarked, “This reflects not only the calibre of our students but also how far we have come in redefining the standards of technical education in the country.”
A Remarkable Placement Drive
While Vipul Jain’s ₹1.45 crore offer stands out, it is just one of several high-value placements this season. The 2025 placement drive at IIIT Prayagraj has been the most successful in the institute’s history, with a total of 13 students receiving offers ranging between ₹70 lakh and ₹99 lakh annually.
In addition, nearly 70 students landed packages between ₹50 lakh and ₹69 lakh, making this year’s drive one of the most rewarding ever for students. The majority of final-year students secured job offers, with many being picked by top multinational firms in software, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing.
International Firms Eye Indian Talent
The participation of global firms like Rubrik underlines the international recognition that Indian engineering talent is now receiving. High-end roles offered by foreign companies not only bring impressive paychecks but also global exposure and opportunities for innovation.
These trends point to a shift in the hiring landscape — Indian students are no longer just contributing to the local job market but are also becoming valuable assets to global technology giants.
IIITs as Engines of Excellence
The rising success of IIIT Prayagraj is part of a larger pattern seen across the Indian Institutes of Information Technology. Known for their rigorous coursework, research-driven approach, and industry-focused learning environment, IIITs have steadily built a reputation as top-tier institutions for computer science and information technology education.
Their curriculum equips students with in-demand skills in areas like data science, machine learning, cybersecurity, and cloud computing, preparing them not just for jobs, but for leadership roles in the tech world.
The growing number of international recruiters and higher salary packages each year highlight the transformation of IIITs into major contributors to the global tech workforce.
A Model for the Future
The institute’s placement cell, faculty, and student community have all played a role in this success. From resume-building workshops to mock interviews and industry mentoring sessions, IIIT Prayagraj has invested heavily in preparing students for the competitive world beyond college.
With support from both domestic and international firms, and an academic environment focused on practical learning, the institute has laid a strong foundation for consistent future growth.
A New Benchmark in Technical Education
Vipul Jain’s placement is more than just a personal achievement — it is a moment that symbolizes how India’s educational institutions are now shaping global careers. His record-breaking ₹1.45 crore job offer not only raises the bar for future batches but also sets a new benchmark for what is possible with the right mix of talent, training, and opportunity.
As placement records continue to be shattered and the demand for skilled tech professionals rises, institutes like IIIT Prayagraj are emerging as key players in building India’s future in global innovation.
