Mumbai: Twenty-one-year-old Abdullah Khan wouldn’t believe his stars but yes he’s on cloud nine after bagging a whopping Rs 1.2 crore job in Google. An 8 figure salary generally endowed to IIT graduates, Khan is still in his final year pursuing Bachelors in Computer Science. This could be a deviation from the general trend but interviewers at Google believe he’s got all credentials to fill the post at its London office. The coding junkie is a student of Shree LR Tiwari Engineering College and it would be unfair to say the lad purely bagged the job due to luck. According to a ToI report, Khan underwent multiple rounds of online tests and interviews before being called to London for one final face-to-face round. Khan said he was not expecting an offer from Google when he casually participated in competitions on that site is looking forward to the new role. "I used to participate as it was fun. I did not even know that firms check programmers' profiles on such sites. I showed the email to my friend who knew someone who had received such an email in the past. I am looking forward to joining their team. It will be an amazing learning experience for me," said Khan. The coding junkie did his schooling in Saudi Arabia and moved to Mumbai only after Class XII,” Khan was quoted as saying by the daily.
