IITian Sk. Naseer may have dreamt of making it big in life. But his father Sk. Jamaluddin never thought that there would come a day when he witnesses his son achieving what many couldn’t.
Bagging an offer of Rs. 79.18 lakh per annum from Oracle through campus placement, Mr. Naseer of IIT-Kanpur has made his family proud, especially his father.
“My son’s life is a best example to show how studying in top-class institutions changes the future of a poor family,” said a visibly-elated Jamaluddin.
Recalling the hardships that they had gone through to reach this stage, he said that Naseer used to sell flowers during summers to meet his education-related expenses. Working for 12 hours, he used to earn Rs. 100 a day. But now, he would earn Rs. 21,693 a day.
Naseer was excellent in studies since childhood and got into IIT-Kanpur by securing 239th rank in IIT-JEE entrance. He continued to perform well throughout and scored 9.4 CCI (Cumulative Performance Index) that got him the placement in Oracle. The offer includes Rs. 62 lakh salary per annum, Rs. 9.3 lakh bonus, relocation bonus of Rs. 6.2 lakh and Rs. 1.68 lakh worth shares in the recruiting industry in pre-campus placements. Jamaluddin works as a daily labourer in a granite company while his wife Rahimunnisa is a tailor. Born in Kodur village of Arvapally mandal in the district, the couple moved to Suryapet some three decades ago in search of work. Their elder daughter is working as a government teacher while his younger daughter is pursuing teacher training course. Jamaluddin thanked all those who had supported his son to achieve what he wanted, especially his school correspondent M. Linga Reddy.
