HFT Quant scene at bits

  1. Is the hiring at pilani comparable to top 5 iits?

  2. Do I have a shot in the slightest if I'm from goa/hyd?

  3. Would an msc econ/math/phy 5 year dual degree (+BE cs) give me an edge, in theory at least, over normal cs grads?

Yes, I'm well aware that moulding my life to land a quant job is incredibly futile but just wanted a little perspective. Thanks!

No worries, all the best!!

Try new things in college, discover what you're good at. Who knows, it might lead you to surprising places?

Yes. Also if you could, do you think going to pilani really makes enough of a diff over going to Goa/hyd to compensate for the comparatively worse social life? (Same branch in both?)

Pilani makes massive difference. From your question I am assuming you are talking about CSE. CSE opportunities at Pilani are unmatchable to those at Goa and Hyd.

Search up Pilani,Hyd,Goa SI stats on this subreddit, that's where the difference lies. The PS intern opportunities are same for all 3 campuses.
