Richa Kumari from the B.Tech. CST Batch of 2025 secures an internship at Amazon with a monthly stipend of 1.1 lakh

Richa Kumari, from the B.Tech. Computer Science and Technology (CST) batch of 2025, has secured an internship at Amazon as a Software Development Engineer (SDE) intern with a monthly stipend of INR 1.1 lakh.

This achievement underscores Richa’s exceptional technical expertise and promising potential in software engineering. Her academic journey exemplifies resilience, curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to continuous learning. Unlike many who discovered their passion for coding early, Richa’s interest emerged during her second year when she encountered Java as part of her coursework. This introduction ignited a spark, driving her to dive deep into the language, master its complexities, and establish a robust foundation for her technical prowess.

Her exposure to Design and Analysis of Algorithms (DAA) in the following semesters marked a pivotal moment in her academic growth. The subject provided her with a deep understanding of algorithms, fueling her passion for problem-solving. During this time, she began coding on HackerRank, which laid the groundwork for her technical journey and further developed her skills.

The summer break after her second year marked a transformative phase in Richa’s journey, as she undertook an internship and a course on the MERN stack. This experience equipped her with in-depth knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and MongoDB, unveiling the vast possibilities of web development and igniting her enthusiasm for front-end technologies. She enriched her learning with hands-on projects, including an e-commerce website, a blog application, a weather app, and a fitness tracker. These projects honed her technical skills and provided valuable real-world experience.

In her third year, she mastered DSA, systematically learning data structures, practicing rigorously on LeetCode, and sharpening her problem-solving abilities through numerous challenges. This balance between front-end expertise and algorithmic proficiency underscores her versatility and determination to excel in software engineering.

Richa’s journey exemplifies her perseverance, ingenuity, and passion for excellence in the dynamic realm of software engineering.
