By December, over 920 students from the BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses secured full-time employment during the Semester-I placement cycle for the academic year 2025-26. The Pilani campus recorded
a median salary of Rs 30 lakh, while the all-campus median salary is Rs 28 lakh per annum, according to the institute’s press release.
Around 200 organisations participated across campuses, including trading firms like Graviton, Quadeye, and IMC Trading, offering niche roles with compensation packages exceeding Rs 1 crore. The Pilani campus received six offers over Rs 1 crore: five from IMC Trading and one from Flow Traders.
International recruiters such as MEDIATEK (Taiwan) and Toyoda Gosei (Japan) also extended offers. Internships were equally attractive, with the highest international stipend reaching Rs 22 lakh per month at Tower Research (Northmoor, U.K.) and the highest domestic stipend at Rs 12.5 lakh per month at IMC Trading. Prominent brands like Google, Microsoft, Walmart, Cisco, and IBM recruited for roles in software development, data science, and cybersecurity, maintaining long-term engagement based on their performance in previous years.
The placement cycle also highlighted 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, alongside newer participants like Skyworks, Cyient Semiconductors, and SanDisk. Electrical and allied engineering roles gained momentum with organisations like Skyroot Aerospace, Schneider Electric, and Daimler Trucks India Centre offering roles in instrumentation and embedded systems.
In the core mechanical and chemical sectors, companies such as General Electric, Honeywell, Eaton, Volvo Eicher, Tata Advanced Systems, Sona Comstar, Bajaj Auto, and Honda Two Wheelers offered roles in supply chain, mechatronics, and manufacturing. Design firms like ARUP, WSP, Jacobs, AG&E, L&T, and Enfinity Global hired graduates for structural and infrastructure engineering roles, while the pharma and life sciences sector saw participation from Lilly, Biocon Biologics, Pharma ACE Analytics, Serum Institute, and Enzene Biosciences, offering opportunities in formulation, regulatory affairs, technology transfer, and bioinformatics.
More than 650 students secured internships with leading organisations during the first semester, with around 150 pre-placement offers extended before the winter semester recess and several more expected to convert into full-time roles by the end of the academic year. Top investment banking and financial services firms such as JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Franklin Templeton, Nomura, and UBS converted many of their interns into full-time hires, particularly in risk and advisory roles.
