Despite the allure of a significant financial windfall, the student, pursuing a degree in Procurement Chain Management, adamantly expressed his preference for academic excellence.

He gave reasons for his choice. The fresher said even though the money is valuable, there is also much recognition when one has a good degree.

In a video on X, the student said he believes that the knowledge and skills acquired through academic achievement have the power to open doors to lucrative opportunities, ultimately surpassing the value of a singular monetary reward.
