Aamir Ali bags Rs. 70 lakh job in US
Jamia student who failed to get BTech seat now creates history
NEW DELHI : Despite scoring well in Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) school board examinations, Mohammad Aamir Ali failed to get admission to a BTech course for three consecutive years.
After the first failed attempt, he took admission in JMI’s Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. This was followed by two more unsuccessful attempts for admission to a BTech course.
Despite his “failures”, Aamir’s passion for science and technology led him to work on a project on electric vehicles.
Highest salary package
The project caught the attention of a United States-based firm and the student bagged a job as a battery management system engineer at Frisson Motor Werks at Charlotte in North Carolina at an annual package of $1,00,008 (approximately ₹70 lakh). The university said this is the highest salary package for any Diploma in Engineering student at JMI since its inception.
His father Shamshad Ali, an electrician at JMI, said, “Aamir would ask questions on functioning of electrical equipment and electricity that even I could not answer despite being an electrician. I always told him to work hard. I am very happy for him today.”
Charging infrastructure
Speaking about his project, Aamir said, “Electric vehicles are my passion. Lack of charging infrastructure is the basic problem faced by electric vehicles in India. If I succeed in my research, the cost of charging electric vehicles will become nearly zero.”
His professors and guidance counsellors at JMI were so impressed with his project that they got his work uploaded on the university website. Frisson Motor Werks learnt about Aamir’s project through the university website and approached JMI.
“After one month of communication via social media platforms, Skype and rounds of telephonic interviews, the company decided to hire Aamir as a battery management system engineer,” said JMI placement officer Rihan Khan Suri.

Former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren's wife Kalpana to contest bypoll from Gandey assembly seat
Ranchi, April 25: The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) on Thursday announced that Kalpana Soren, wife of jailed former chief minister Hemant Soren, will contest the bypoll from Gandey assembly seat.
The seat in Giridih district fell vacant following the resignation of JMM MLA Sarfaraz Ahmad.
Bypoll to Gandey assembly seat is scheduled on May 20 along with the parliamentary elections in the state.
The party also announced the candidature of Samir Mohanty, the sitting MLA from Baharagora, from Jamshedpur Lok Sabha seat.
Kalpana had embarked on a political journey at the 51st foundation day celebration of JMM in Giridih district on March 4, claiming that a conspiracy had been orchestrated by opponents ever since the Hemant Soren coalition government came to power in 2019.
Hemant Soren was arrested by the ED on January 31 in connection with a money laundering case linked to an alleged land fraud, subsequent to his resignation as CM.
After the ruling JMM-led alliance proved its majority on February 5 and her husband made a fiery speech in the assembly, Kalpana had taken to X to announce that the "fight against injustice and oppression will continue".
Previously considered a frontrunner for the position of chief minister but facing opposition from Sita Soren, she declared, "I have fought, and I will continue to fight! We have won, and we will win!"
A homemaker with MTech and MBA qualifications, Kalpana completed her education in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district and obtained her engineering and MBA degrees in Bhubaneswar.
Hemant's arrest had sparked speculation that Kalpana would assume leadership. However, a family rift emerged, with his sister-in-law, Sita Soren, openly opposing any move to make Kalpana the chief minister.
Sita questioned Kalpana's political inexperience and objected to her potential candidacy, dismissing it as BJP propaganda. Hemant dismissed speculations of Kalpana contesting from Gandey, labeling it as BJP's fabrication.
Speculations regarding Kalpana's candidacy arose following the resignation of ruling JMM's Gandey MLA Sarfaraz Ahmad in December, with the BJP claiming it was to facilitate Kalpana's candidacy in case of ED summonses.
