Galgotias Students Secure INR 22 LPA Dream Package at Cisco

Greater Noida, 07 October 2025: For Jai Sindhu and Anushka Raj, final-year B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering students (Batch 2021–2025) at Galgotias University, landing a prestigious role at Cisco with an impressive ₹22 LPA package demonstrates the culmination of passion, preparation, and perseverance. Their journey showcases how an ecosystem built on innovation and experiential learning can empower students to achieve extraordinary results.

Turning Curiosity into Career Success

From their first semester, both Jai and Anushka were fascinated by how networks and systems keep the world connected. Choosing Computer Science at Galgotias was not just about earning a degree, it was about turning their curiosity into opportunity. Through projects, teamwork, and practical learning, they gained the skills and confidence to think beyond books and solve real-world problems like true engineers.

Cisco Centre of Excellence: Bridging Academia and Industry

A key catalyst in their journey was the Cisco Centre of Excellence (COE) at Galgotias University, a collaborative initiative with Cisco Systems that provides students access to advanced training in networking and digital technologies.

This centre helps students gain hands-on exposure to Cisco-certified tools and programs, participate in innovation-driven projects, and earn globally recognized certifications. The COE serves as a bridge between classroom concepts and industry practices, enabling students like Jai and Anushka to align their skills with real-world demands and stand out in competitive placement drives.

Where Learning Meets Application

Galgotias University’s strong focus on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), hands-on coding labs, and industry-aligned hackathons played a defining role in shaping their technical edge. Regular coding bootcamps and mock technical interviews helped them hone not only their programming proficiency but also their strategic approach to problem-solving.

“The university’s emphasis on practical learning and mentorship gave us the right foundation to tackle real-world challenges,” shares Anushka. “Every project pushed us to go a step further to think deeper, and build smarter.”

Mentorship, Preparation, and Momentum

From early placement guidance to rigorous mock sessions, Galgotias ensured that students were not just job-ready but industry-ready. Faculty mentors offered individualized feedback, ensuring that both technical and communication skills grew in tandem.

For Jai, these structured touchpoints made all the difference. “Continuous mentorship and exposure to competitive coding culture gave me the clarity and confidence to perform under pressure,” he says.

Shaping Future Innovators

Their success at Cisco reflects more than just personal achievement, it’s a testament to Galgotias University’s mission of nurturing global tech talent ready to lead in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

“At Galgotias University, we are committed to transforming potential into performance through world-class academic excellence and industry collaboration,” said Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias University.
