US based cab aggregator Uber has offered a whopping package of USD 1,10,000 (nearly Rs. 71 lakh) to a student of Delhi Technological University (DTU).

Siddharth, an alumunus of Delhi Public School Vasant Kunj and a final year student of Compute science at DTU, was offered the position of software engineer at the San-Francisco office of the global giant.

“I am looking forward to groom my technological skills at Uber before I begin brainstorming on my start-up plan which I see as a long-term goal,” Siddharth told PTI.

The 22-year-old student’s father works as a consultant while his mother transcripts speeches as a freelancer.

“From the beginning, I wanted to do computer science engineering and with my score I was not getting the subject at any of the IITs. Moreover, I love Delhi and did not want to move from here,” Siddharth told Hindustan Times.

Besides, he also loves playing video games, takes keen interest in FIFA series, and plays Guitar.

Chetan Kakkar of 2015 batch holds the record in highest offer ever to a DTU student. He was offered Rs 1.25 crore by search giant Google.
