Does BITS Pilani get international offers for placements?

Yes, BITS Pilani does get international offers for placements. The institute has a strong reputation for producing skilled and competent engineering graduates, and as a result, many top companies from around the world visit the campus for placements. Over the years, BITS Pilani has established partnerships with numerous international organizations, providing students with opportunities for international internships and employment. 

Additionally, the institute has a strong alumni network, with many graduates working in top positions in renowned multinational corporations. These factors contribute to the institute's reputation for providing excellent placement opportunities, both in India and abroad.

Few of my school friends completed their graduation from BITS Pilani and they are well settled in Indian companies only. Although the placement cell works hard to get foreign companies, most students are satisfied with Indian companies offering great packages. Here are some insights you need to know.

• All three campuses of BITS have their own placement cell which is highly active and try to bring international offers. However, it's very rare for an international company to visit the campus for recruitment. Especially for BITS Goa campus, you won’t see a foreign IT company at all.
• When you apply to a company (for an Indian or foreign role) off-campus, the first round would be resume shortlisting, where the recruiter would go through the hundreds of applicants’ resumes and choose the best out of them.
• Even if you are one of the best-performing students of BITS you might also get rejected if you try to apply to foreign companies on your own. The main reason behind this is most BITSians or any Indian institute students don't have out-of-curriculum projects or achievements.

At last, it is quite difficult to be placed in a foreign company through BITS or most Indian colleges. However, if you have the caliber which those companies are looking for there are hundreds of opportunities waiting for you. Without relying on on-campus recruitments, you can apply through off-campus hiring. The only difference is that you need to put some extra effort into it.
