Google CEO Sundar Pichai studied from this IIT, did engineering in this branch, his net worth is… The Joint Seat Authority (JoSAA) Counselling 2025 has started for students following the declaration of the JEE Advanced 2025 result. Through this counselling, students will get an opportunity to gain admission to prestigious institutions such as IITs and NITs as per their rank. However, it is a fact that almost all students want to get admission into top IITs, and as always, their favourite branch is Computer Science. Google CEO Sundar Pichai is a role model and a source of inspiration for most aspirants. They want to become like him. Pichai also started his journey at an IIT. On this note, let's take a look at the educational qualifications of the Google CEO and the branch he selected that skyrocketed his career. Who is Sundar Pichai? Sundar Pichai was born on June 10 1972, in Tamil Nadu's Madurai. He was born into a typical Tamil family. His father, Raghunath Pichai, was an electrical engineer in a British company. Raghunath was also the owner of a manufacturing plant. Pichai's mother worked as a stenographer. Sundar was a bright student from his childhood. He studied at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Chennai until Class 10. He completed his Class 12 board exams at Vana Vani School in Chennai. Did Sundar Pichai Get The Desired Branch? To get a job in tech companies like Google, most of the students choose i.e. engineering from the Computer Science branch. But, interestingly, Pichai doesn't have a computer science degree. According to several media reports, after passing 12th Sundar was to do in the computer science branch but didn't get it due to his ranking in JEE IIT. His JEE IIT ranking was between 1100 to 1200 due to which he got the Metallurgical branch. But he studied hard and received the BC Roy Silver Medal in 1993. From which IIT did Sundar Pichai study? Sundar Pichai, a Chennai native, pursued engineering at IIT Kharagpur after achieving a high JEE rank, despite initially aiming for IIT Madras's computer science program.
