Surge in hiring in the IT segment owing to increased demand in networking, cyber security, cloud connectivity and data science spaces saw robust pre-placement offers (PPOs) and internships for students of Birla Institute of Technological Sciences (BITS) Pilani, Hyderabad and Goa campuses this year.
The pre-placement season for 2021 hiring began this month and the three BITS campuses received PPOs from companies such as Microsoft, DE Shaw, Google, Uber, Cisco, Adobe, Salesforce, Amazon, ServiceNow, Oracle and Flipkart in the IT segment, all of which hired aggressively, according to Balasubramanian Gurumurthy, chief placement officer, BITS Pilani.
General industry trend is likely to be on similar lines with the IT industry looking to hire aggressively this year despite the pandemic.
