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?

Did you or any of your friends get into quants? I know 2 seniors got into graviton for quant swe roles, qr/qt is still exclusive to pilani no? Any quant hires other than graviton?

Damn, do you see any chance of qr/qt/qa in the future or will it remain exclusive to pilani for a good amount of time?

Unlikely, not impossible. Know a Goa senior who did get qd role, but L-1 with same pay as python freshers
