Around 200 organisations participated in campus placement drives across campuses. Elite quantitative trading institutions like Graviton, Quad Eye, and IMC Trading drove the compensation package with niche roles paying over Rs 1 crore, it said.

Within the Pilani campus itself, there were six offers over Rs 1 crore, five from IMC Trading and one from Flow Traders. This placement cycle also saw international players such as MediaTek (Taiwan) and Toyoda Gosei (Japan) offering international offers.

The internship offerings were equally attractive, with the highest international stipend at Rs 22 lakh per month at Tower Research (Northmoor, UK), while the highest domestic stipend was Rs 12.5 lakh per month at IMC Trading.

The placement cycle also reflected the growing significance of the semiconductor ecosystem within India’s engineering landscape. Leading firms such as Qualcomm, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, AMD, Micron Technology, ARM, NXP Semiconductors, Infineon Technologies and Cadence Design Systems recruited across campuses, it said.

Beyond full-time hiring, the institute’s academic internship programme emerged as a strong indicator of future employment. More than 650 students secured internships with marquee organisations during the first semester, with around 150 pre-placement offers already extended before the winter semester recess, it added.
