Jamia BTech student PPO Visa: A BTech Computer Engineering student of Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has secured a pre-placement offer (PPO) from global payments company Visa, with an annual compensation of Rs 35 lakh.
Who Is the Student?
Mohd Shamoon, a student of the BTech Computer Engineering programme and part of the 2027 batch, received the offer after completing a summer internship at Visa. He had secured the internship through an online assessment and interview process, during which he received a monthly stipend of Rs 90,000.
From Internship to PPO
Following his performance during the internship, Shamoon was offered a PPO by the company. A pre-placement offer is typically extended to an intern before the completion of their degree, and can lead to a full-time position after graduation, subject to the company’s specific terms.
The entire placement process was facilitated through JMI’s University Placement Cell (UPC), highlighting the role the university’s placement infrastructure played in connecting the student with this opportunity.
About JMI’s Faculty of Engineering and Technology
JMI’s Faculty of Engineering and Technology was established in 1985. Interestingly, the university’s first engineering course predates the faculty itself, with the Bachelor of Engineering course in Civil Engineering beginning as early as 1978.
The faculty today comprises several departments, including:
- Civil Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Electronics and Communication Engineering
- Computer Engineering
- Environmental Sciences
- Applied Sciences and Humanities
BTech Programmes Offered at JMI
At the undergraduate level, JMI currently offers BTech programmes across the following disciplines:
- Civil Engineering
- Civil Engineering (Construction Technology)
- Electrical Engineering
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
- Electronics and Communication Engineering
- Electronics (VLSI Design and Technology)
- Computer Engineering
- Computer Science and Engineering (Data Sciences)
Some of these programmes are offered under the self-financing mode, rather than the regular funded structure.
About the Department of Computer Engineering
The Department of Computer Engineering at JMI was established in 2000. Its regular BTech Computer Engineering programme is an eight-semester course, covering key areas such as:
- Programming
- Computer systems
- Software development
- Networking
- Data analysis
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
The department also offers a self-financed BTech programme in Computer Science and Engineering (Data Sciences), giving students an additional specialised pathway within the broader computing discipline.
What JMI Said About the Achievement?
According to the university, the PPO reflects the outcome of Shamoon’s internship and his performance during the selection process, underscoring how a strong internship performance can translate directly into a lucrative full-time offer even before graduation.

Why This Matters?
This placement outcome highlights the growing competitiveness of JMI’s engineering graduates in securing high-value offers from global technology and financial services companies. With a Rs 35 lakh annual package — a figure often associated with placements from more traditionally dominant engineering institutes — this achievement signals the strengthening placement outcomes at JMI’s Faculty of Engineering and Technology, particularly within its Computer Engineering department, which has built a curriculum spanning core computing fundamentals as well as emerging areas like AI and machine learning.
For current and prospective JMI engineering students, this case also serves as a notable example of how strong internship performance, supported by the university’s placement cell, can lead to significant full-time career outcomes even before degree completion.
