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.

Balasaheb would have broken his mouth: Eknath Shinde on Arvind Sawant's 'imported maal' remark
Thane: Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has strongly criticised Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Arvind Sawant for his comment referring to Shaina NC as "imported maal." Shinde asserted that if Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray were alive, he "would have broken his mouth" for making such a remark. Calling Sawant's statement "unfortunate," Shinde condemned the disrespect toward women, saying, "Speaking ill of a woman is highly condemnable, and no amount of criticism is enough."
Shinde expressed that the women of Maharashtra would ensure Sawant faces consequences in the upcoming elections, highlighting that such remarks reveal the character of those making them. Following Shaina NC’s complaint, a case has been registered at Nagpada Police Station, listing charges related to defamation and outraging the modesty of a woman.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar also criticised Sawant’s remarks, affirming that derogatory comments against women have no place in society and contradict Maharashtra's values of respect and dignity.
In response, Sawant clarified that he did not directly mention Shaina’s name and claimed his remarks were misinterpreted. The Maharashtra Assembly elections are set for November 20, with vote counting on November 23.
