Success is always a very fruitful product of working hard and with all of your energy. Students work tirelessly in large corporations and international businesses to obtain their dream positions. The ambition of the majority of college students—an eight-figure beginning salary package — had come true for the MTech student from IIT Guwahati in 2021. The global company Uber had made Rohit Negi, the son of a small farmer from Kotdwar in Uttarakhand, a job offer worth a whopping Rs 2.05 crore in 2021.

For Rohit, getting to his ideal package wasn't simple. He wasn't the most diligent student in the class and his grades in high school and college were ordinary. Even after graduating from, he had trouble finding work. Rohit claims that only WIPRO used to choose college candidates from his school for a package of Rs 3.5 lakh. "There were a lot of students at the college, but there weren't many opportunities available," stated Rohit.
Rohit worked hard and got a decent grade on the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), which helped him get into IIT Guwahati. Rohit changed his fate by working hard and being determined. One lakh students took the GATE exam in 2020, and Rohit received a rank of 202. This result helped him receive an MTech admission to IIT Guwahati.
Apart from this, he also has a YouTube channel where he provides guidance to students on GATE and placements, as per his LinkedIn profile. Rohit is no longer working with Uber.
