"New firms like Skyworks, Cyient semiconductors and Lat Aerospace were notable names visiting this cycle. MediaTek offered roles for Taiwan at Pilani campus, along with domestic roles for other campuses."

At BITS, this year, out of 1,143 students, 549 have received full-time offers through campus placements. Summer internships accounted for 48.03% in placements. The median salary this year is around ₹31 lakh so far.

Last year (for the batch of 2025), BITS had strong hiring momentum from semiconductor companies due to India’s Semiconductor Mission. Micron, for example, recruited 51 students compared to 23-24 the year before, offering compensation packages in the ₹30 lakh-plus range.
