nSundar joined Google inn2004, and in such a short time has become the CEO.
n
nNaturally, people here innIndia are wondering about educational profile of Sundar
n
nPichai.
n
n
n
nThe most prominent questionnis about his All India IIT JEE rank.
n
n
n
nFew of my students have alsonasked this question, but unfortunately, I am not able to give any answer.
n
n
n
nThere isn’t any informationnavailable about his IIT JEE rank. I asked one of my students who is currentlynstudying in IIT Kharagpur, and he was also not aware of this.
n
nHence, we can just assume.
n
n
n
nIn one interviews,nSundarPichai said that he was preparing for IIT JEE with an intention to do the course with Computer Science or Electronics. Further,nhe was looking forward to join IIT, Madras. But, that couldn’t happen.
n
n
n
nHe did B. Tech withnMetallurgy stream. As you might know, this branch has never been hot among IIT JEEntoppers. Candidates who couldn’t get mainstream branches used to opt for it.
n
n
n
nIt is quite clear by thenabove discussion that Sundar Pichai couldn’t get good All India Rank in IITnJEE.
n
n
n
nHowever, that has notnstopped him from following his dreams. He was a bright student at IIT Kgp. Hengot the institute’s silver medal. It was one of the professors of IIT whonrecommended his name to Stanford for admission and scholarship. And, because ofnthis recommendation, he could do the course.
