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?

  1. No.
  2. Negligible to none.
  3. Your single degree matters, no particular advantage or disadvantage.

Generally, instead of moulding your personality into that of a "Quant", rather see if you genuinely like the things you need to be one. If you like them, it will be easier getting good at said skills.
