Our observation over the years has been that the era of privileges that students from pedigreed and elite institutes enjoyed are no longer valid. The WE program has democratized high-quality education and premium placements." Offered as a two-year intensive program, WE comprises learning from top-notch faculty and Industry experts of TalentSprint and mentorship from engineers and technology leaders at Google. First-year women students pursuing B.Tech or B.E, specializing in IT, CSE, ECE, EEE, AI, Math, Applied Math or equivalent and having scored marks over 70 per cent in their 10th and 12th are eligible for this program.Through a stringent selection process, only the top 1 per cent make it to the program. The first four cohorts received 70,000+ applications from over 500 universities and engineering colleges across the country. Of which, around 750 students were selected to join the program. Almost 34 per cent of the students were first-generation graduates and over 25 per cent of them came from rural India.The program addresses the socio-economic gender gap in tech, and has proven to be extremely rewarding for participants as the WE community has grown to a group of high caliber and talented women creating a self-sustaining ecosystem of talent mentoring and networking. WE alumni have received nearly 100 per cent placements in over 50 global tech companies, with an average salary of 3x the market median and highest compensation of 54 lakhs per annum. This is a testament that the WE program is a transformational platform for young women students who wish to catapult themselves into rewarding global careers.This story is provided by BusinessWire India.will not be responsible in any way for the content of this article.
