India, July 14 -- Grabbing a Rs.1.4 crore annual package may have made headlines, but for a final-year B.Tech Computer Science student at Birla Institute of Technology (BIT) Mesra, the offer from LinkedIn was the result of years of disciplined preparation, consistent learning, and an unwavering focus on building real-world engineering skills.

Kushagra Sahay, a B.Tech student of BIT Mesra, secured an internship with the company in October 2024. He converted it into a full-time Pre-Placement Offer (PPO) in September 2025-an achievement that places him among the highest campus recruiters this placement season.
