Top Recruiters
Marquee recruiters across software, finance, consulting and core engineering visit every season, including Google, Microsoft, Jane Street, Amazon, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, McKinsey & Company, Adobe, Intel, Flipkart, Bajaj Auto, ITC and Schlumberger. Quant-trading and HFT firms (Jane Street, Tower Research, Da Vinci) have driven the record international offers of recent years.
Internships & PPOs
The internship drive runs in the third year (December window), and converts strongly: 300 PPOs were extended in the 2024–25 season, of which 235 were accepted. Internships at quant firms and global tech companies are the primary route to the highest packages, so CGPA and coding-round preparation from the second year onward matter significantly.
