BITS Pilani Placements 2024: Average Package, Highest Package, Top Recruiters

Apple Inc. does recruit engineers from India, including from top institutions such as IITs, BITS, NITs, and IIITs. They have a dedicated team in India to find and recruit top talent from around the country. However, like any other company, they have certain criteria and standards that they look for in candidates, and they also have a limited number of open positions at any given time.

Therefore, even if an individual is highly qualified and comes from a prestigious institution, they may not be selected for a role at Apple. 

Apple initially hired students from IIIT Hyderabad because its head office is situated in Hyderabad. After this, Apple started approaching old IITs and even top NITs such as Trichy, Surathkal, and Warangal. You will be surprised to know that now Apple even visits BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad Campuses.

So you can rest assured as Apple is now recruiting actively from top technical institutes of the country. 

BITS Pilani recently concluded its placement drive for this year and the average package stood at INR 30.37 LPA whereas the highest package stood at INR 60.75 LPA. 

The Institute does not release branch-wise packages and thus I consulted a friend who was a part of the BITS Pilani placement drive 2021. As per the information obtained from her, around 80% of the students of the mechanical branch got placed. The average salary package offered was 13 LPA and the highest salary package offered was 40 LPA by Daikin for the mechanical course. Decent roles were offered to students of this branch. 

Here is a branch-wise analysis of BITS Pilani Placements 2023:

BITS Pilani Placements 2023 welcomed 109 recruiters some of them being Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, Cisco, etc. 

Usually, the students at BITS opt for a dual degree program along with a Master’s in Economics, which will give them more opportunities. The bank companies are looking forward to the students from the economics branch who possess skills, and they mostly visit BITS Pilani. The offer package ranges from 11-14 lakhs per annum. Other than this, the analytics companies also give placement to students in economics with a package of 8-9 lakhs per annum. This is the current package status for BITS Pilani in the Economics batch.

The salary package is very bad for B.Pharm. students at BITS Pilani. Companies including Mylan Labs, and Hetero Pharma visit the institute, but they offer lower packages to the students, which is highly disappointing. The highest package ranges from 1.2 to 3.2 lakhs per annum. Students from non-pharmacy backgrounds also have the chance to get placed in consulting and marketing firms

BITS Pilani is a renowned institution in India that offers excellent academic and placement support to students. You don’t need to worry about the branch you selected; BITS Pilani has the advantage of allowing you to switch courses during your first year if you maintain a good CGPA score. After your enrolment in this institute, find out your area of interest and select accordingly

Having a dual degree increases your chances of placement with a good package. Most companies consider dual degrees to be equivalent to a master's degree. So, it is better to opt for a dual degree

BITS Pilani offers decent placement support to students from the M.Tech. and B.Tech. batches. The chances are higher for the one who has a master’s in Mechanical Engineering. BITS Pilani conducts the placement process in two semesters. During the first semester, about 15-20 companies, including Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, SanDisk, Nvidia, Cisco, and so on, visit the campus. In the second semester, the placement is done based on your CGPA, as the companies mostly prefer students who score a CGPA above 8.
