So basically I am currently in t1 IIT Cse i want some advice and actually I was able to change my branch from a lower one to cse, my adv rank isnt good at all and my whole first year i dedicated to acads. Now I want to get into quant so wanted some guidance from the seniors

Where do I start from exactly and end up getting into quant

Do hfts and quants like optiver, jane street, hrt and citadel come for placements? Also what are the strict filters they have for the shortlist ?

Do tech companies just allow circuital branches for placements and if so then which companies do so I am thinking of considering chemical sciences bs ms
